tak komedogenik; tak menyebabkan akne (jerawat, bintik hitam/putih)

sofie, please note correct spellling.

supporting information from my dermatological dictionary:

- noncomedogenic = not likely to cause comedones.

- nomedogenic = likely to cause comedones.

- comedone; comedones (plural) [pronunciation: CO-mee-doen] = an acne lesion, a plug of sebaceous and dead skin material stuck in the opening of a hair follicle. also known as: acne, blackhead, open comedone, whitehead, closed comedone

sorry, typo here: \"nomedogenic = likely to cause comedones.\"

- should be \"comedogenic = likely to cause comedones.\"

tidak menyebabkan komedon/jeragat hitam

I'm not sure whether you got the spelling correct. A comedon is a blackhead.
Peer comment(s):

neutral yam2u : i may be wrong but aren't 'jeragat/jagat' freckles? freckles aren't black/whiteheads and i think certainly not considered as acne as they are sun-effects on melanin.
