Products We Love

POREspective® is an acne-only treatment clinic located deep in the heart of Austin, Texas. Since 2011, we’ve cleared thousands of client’s faces (and millions of pimples). Our method includes individualized acne treatments in the clinic combined with a personalized home care regimen, nutritional recommendations, and lifestyle education to follow at home. At POREspective®, our goal is stop the continuous cycle of frustration and disappointment that acne sufferers feel from trying to figure it out on their own.

We have put together this list of “Products We Love” to help you find acne-safe options for makeup, hair products, and vitamins and supplements.

DISCLAIMER: Makeup companies change their ingredients so often we can’t always keep up, and only find out when a client starts breaking out, so the “approved” products listed below may no longer be safe. Always check the ingredient lists on any products you put on your skin against the Pore-Clogging Ingredients List to ensure the products you are putting on your skin are still safe for acne. And please let us know if you come across any products that are no longer acne-safe. Our acne community thanks you for your input!

While a product may have been “loved” in the past, it may no longer be “loved” because:

  • A new pore-clogging ingredient has come to our attention
  • Our large and active client base begins to have problems with certain products or ingredients
  • Manufacturers change their formulas
  • Sources we previously used to check ingredient lists turned out to be incorrect
  • Just because one product in a line is approved it does not mean the entire line is approved
  • Just because one product is approved it does not mean the matching product(s) are
