Does Aquaphor Clog Pores?

Since Aquaphor is thick, like Vaseline, it's normal to question if this ointment will clog your pores ASAP, which can result in acne. However, since the product is an emollient, it traps water in the skin, and better yet, since it's also noncomedogenic, it will not clog any of your pretty little pores. Instead, Aquaphor lets the pores breathe, and many suggest using it heavily, especially during the winter months. 

Rachel Nazarian, M.D., a dermatologist at the Schweiger Dermatology Group in NYC, told Cosmopolitan, "Aquaphor prevents water from evaporating from your face, helping to improve your skin barrier and keep it healthy."
