cosmetic acne/pimples

The lesions characteristically occur in the perioral area of mature females, especially those who had acne as adolescents and have used cosmetics for a long time. some cosmetics, especially those containing lanolin, petrolatum, certain vegetable oils, butylstearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid, are comedogenic.
