I read somewhere that Chia Seed Oil is not suitable for oily and/or acne prone skin, and that it may clog the pores… is this true? In this article it says it’s good for doing the opposite of that, in return makes me a bit confused..
Hi Serenity, I have read that chia seed oil can be moderately comedogenic, but it also contains elements that can help with acne. It is high in both magnesium and zinc, which can help reduce pimples and inflammation. I think any oil has the potential to clog pores, some more than others. Everyone’s skin is different, and it is difficult to tell how each person’s skin will react to an ingredient, the best way to know is to give it a try. The brand Maya Chia has a whole routine for oily and combination skin and their primary ingredient is chia seed oil.
