What does Green Tea Extract help with?
In Pori's database it's linked to redness, oiliness. How much it helps depends on how high it sits on the label: ingredients are listed from most to least, and anything past roughly the tenth spot is usually present at 1% or less.

Is Green Tea Extract comedogenic?
It has a comedogenic rating of 0 out of 5 in Pori's ingredient database, so it's unlikely to clog pores. Ratings like this come from older tests on single ingredients, and a finished product with it isn't necessarily pore-clogging. A 2006 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that finished products made with comedogenic ingredients were not necessarily comedogenic, so treat the number as a hint, not a verdict.

How do I check a product with Green Tea Extract?
Scan the barcode or photograph the ingredient list with Pori's ingredient scanner (a Pro feature).

It's a guide to ingredients, not a diagnosis, so see a dermatologist about any reaction.
