Review of emollient comedogenicity in clinical practice: isopropyl palmitate consistently scores 4/5 across test systems; present in many moisturizers, sunscreens, and foundations; recommends label checking for acne-prone patients; notes that comedogenicity is concentration-dependent and may be mitigated at low levels (<1%)
