Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of non-comedogenic products?

  1. They are suitable for acne-prone skin

  2. They contribute to skin health

  3. They are usually more expensive

  4. They prevent pore blockage

The correct answer is: They are usually more expensive

Non-comedogenic products are specifically formulated to avoid clogging pores, making them particularly suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin. By preventing pore blockage, these products help in maintaining clear skin and preventing the development of acne. They often contain ingredients that support skin health, ensuring that while they are preventing breakouts, they are also beneficial for skin condition. While the price of non-comedogenic products can vary, it is not an inherent characteristic of these products to be more expensive. Non-comedogenicity refers to the formulation and ingredients used, rather than the cost. Therefore, asserting that they are usually more expensive does not align with the defining features of these products.
