If you’ve ever typed “best skincare for acne” into Google—or worse, asked ChatGPT to build you a routine—this post is for you. And trust me, you’re not alone. But let me give you a little behind-the-scenes tea from your favorite Scottsdale celebrity aesthetician.
I recently asked ChatGPT to recommend products for acne-prone skin, just to see what it would say. It handed me a list of 14 products. Sounds promising, right?
Except for one tiny detail:
9 of them had pore-clogging ingredients.
That’s 64% of the list. Basically a breakout starter pack.
Why This Matters for Acne-Prone Skin
If you have acne-prone skin, using even one product with comedogenic ingredients (aka pore-cloggers) can set you back weeks in your progress. AI doesn’t read ingredient labels. It doesn’t understand acne-safe formulations. It doesn’t know your skin type, your history, or your lifestyle. In short:
AI can’t clear your skin. But a licensed professional can.
The Problem with Skincare Advice From the Internet
Generic advice from chatbots, TikTok, Reddit, and influencers isn’t tailored to your unique skin. It might feel convenient, but taking skincare shortcuts often leads to long-term damage—worsening inflammation, disrupting your barrier, and costing you way more in the long run.
At Zero Nine Day Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, I don’t do guesswork. I work one-on-one with each patient to create a customized, results-driven skincare routine. Every product I recommend is hand-selected and vetted ingredient by ingredient—specifically for your skin’s needs.
