Do non-comedogenic labels even mean anything?

The more I study components and skincare, the more I believe any product that claims to be non-comedogenic is a load of bullshit.

To locate things that would work for me, I have run a lot of them using CosDNA. Most of the goods include multiple comedogenic scale-rated ingredients, and it appears that all of them contain at least one.

Not everyone who consumes a substance with a rating will get breakouts, but certain individuals have undoubtedly been shown to be at risk.

How can a product be deemed non-comedogenic if it includes any of those possibly acne-causing ingredients?

It means nothing. Neither does “safe for sensitive skin,” “dermatologist tested,” or any other nonsense on a label.

I find ‘dermatologist tested’ amusing. Isn’t testing your product before releasing it to the market just the absolute minimum?

It has no significance. “Safe for sensitive skin,” “dermatologist tested,” and other meaningless labels don’t work either.
