Here’s a clear and concise rewrite of your passage:
Pores are tiny openings in the skin that release sweat and oil. While everyone has them, some people are more prone to clogged pores than others. According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Geeta Yadav, clogged pores occur when oil is overproduced and becomes trapped beneath dead skin cells that haven’t properly shed. External factors like makeup, dirt, and pore-clogging (comedogenic) ingredients can also block this flow of oil.
Comedogenic means “pore-clogging,” and while such ingredients aren’t the only cause of acne, they can certainly make it worse. “These ingredients increase the likelihood of pimples forming,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian. “For someone with oily skin or acne-causing bacteria, using comedogenic products is like pouring fuel on a fire—it can intensify and prolong breakouts.”
