I had used this for a year awhile back and stopped because I thought it was irritating my skin. I recently used it again because the color match is so good and I thought my skin might handle it better this time. No way! It gave me a bunch of white bumps and broke me out. I use Dan's Regimen and the normal formula was too drying and the matte didn't dry me out ,but broke me out. No good choice here. I now use Maybelline Pure Stay which is a really great product for me!!

I tried this when I first started college and I became a mess. My acne got worse and it just didn't do the job for me. Although my skin felt moisturized and not as dry as when I apply other makeup foundations such as MAC. I feel this didn't do anything good for me. It may be different for others, my only suggestion is you first try it if you're on the fence with it.

I like it now that I am clear. This did nothing for me whilst I was still breaking out. If you only have minor colour flaws then this looks fantastic and natural.

I got the matte version, and while I don't think that I had an increase in acne, it also didn't seem to have the coverage or oil control that I was looking for.

I was excited to try this product, since I heard it was great for acne. I didn't notice any difference, but I kept using it for a year. I finally found out it has oil in the product and has promoted break outs for me. So, I have since switched. Plus, I feel the brushes are just spreading the acne on my face. I washed my brushes 1x/wk and it just wasn't working for me.

For a long time I just was accepting my fate of acne. One day in a outlet mall I passed the store so we stopped in. I ended up getting some and later that day I applied. After a couple days my acne was much better than its been in a while. Apparently quite a few different powders break me out because I have changed nothing else in my routine.

I can't belive I used Bare Escentuals/Bare Minerals for so long. I thought that because it was a powder it must be oil free and that any liquid makeup would be worse for my (adult) acne-prone skin. Then one day I went into a makeup store to find a portable compact and the ladies set me straight. My acne is moderate at this point, and mainly concentrated on the jaw line (towards my ears). It's been a problem for years now, and I basically had thrown up my hands and settled for "good enough." Bare Minerals seemed to cover my acne and though the acne didn't get any better, it also didn't get any worse. Well the make-up store consultants felt that my skin was too dry, the coverage was cakey, the coloring was ashy over my scars, and (besides my jawline) I really didn't need a full coverage make up all over. News to me!! Also, they informed me that Bare Minerals does in fact contain oils, and the oils are probably exacerbating my acne. Surprisingly they weren't trying to do a hard sell for anything, but they suggested I find an oil-free tinted moistruizer and oil-free concealer or touch-up stick. Also, they suggested an oil-free gel cream moisturizer. A few months later, things are definitely getting better with my skin and I have ditched *all* of my Bare Ecentuals/Bare Minerals products. I really can't believe how much my skin has improved in a short time!! Here are some of the products I've switched to (all oil free and not too expensive): Purpose cleansing bar; Garnier Moisture Rescue gel cream (morning moisturizer); Keihls Sodium PCA Oil Free Moisturizer (night moisturizer); Murad acne treatment concealer; Almay Clear Complexion concealer; Sephora brand oil-free tinted moistruizer; Sephora perfecting cover concealer; Physician's Formula Mineral Wear talc-free, oil-free blush and bronzer; Revlon Colorstay pressed powder (also oil-free and talc free); Acne-free Terminator spot treatment. I don't use all of the makeup products at once of course!!

I brought a sample of this and I'm glad I only brought the sample and didn't waste a lot of money! I took all my makeup off so I had a clear base. I put it on and it looked horrible! I went completely orange and it didnt do anything for my spots, my whole face was orange but the redness of my spots still came through and it was patchy! It felt like I had put talc poweder on my face! No matter how much I put on it did nothing for me. Glad I only brought a Sample.

I started using this product when I first began doxycycline. At first my skin looked great with this product but after awhile it started to make me break out. I had huge cysts on my face and they took forever to go away! I would definitely test this product out first before making a full commitment.

Wonderful product that I have been using on top of light liquid foundations for the past five years. Unfortunately the lightest shade is still slightly too dark for my skin, but it's the closest I have found to my natural hue and provides the best redness coverage with none of the mask-like qualities of heavy liquid concealers. The matte version is my favorite!
