Larenim mineral makeup. Foundation & blush - lightweight powders. Doesn’t clog the pores, doesn’t break me out. Feels light on the skin. The founder of Larenim had acne, & the product was borne from her search for something that wouldn’t aggravate her skin.
I use Bare Minerals, it is non-greasy, light, great coverage, takes care of redness, doesnt irritate my skin and feels light on my face. I would def. recommend it!
I use Bare Minerals and I find that it works just as well as almay. It doesn’t clog your pores, and it gives you the full coverage look without being heavy or goopy. It’s a sheer powder and is very easy to apply. It is also safe to fall asleep if you don’t get a chance to wash your face. It is very worth the purchase; one container lasts a good 6-8 months.
Bare Minerals does not work for me. It’s foundation powder has a sheen to it and it makes my skin look shiny and oily. Also, it contains bismuth oxychloride, which can irriate the skin. I use Prescriptives make up. I have the flawless powder which has SPF and is non-comedogenic. However, the Prescriptives concealer I use is only non-acnegenic, not non-comedogenic. Any news on the Prescriptives brand, Dan?
i love mineral makeup currently i use everyday minerals. But the biggest thing to remember with makeup is to clean your brushes, sponges, applicators w/e you use to apply the makeup daily. A clean brush means clear skin! No matter how great the formulation if your tools are dirty then your asking for breakouts.
I used to use MAC studio fix before the regimen–but am pretty convinced that MAC is just awful for acne prone skin, then tried bare minerals after getting clear on the regimen, only to get random zits after using–then found out that it contained bismuth oxychloride which was breaking me out. I am now using Everyday Minerals and I am in LOVE!! no breakouts!! YAY!! def a company you should look into! Thanks for being so awesome Dan!!!
I agree that MAC is awful for your skin, I’ve had nothing but problems with their foundations. I currently use Physicians Formula Gentle Cover concealer stick and Jane Ireldale mineral pressed powder. That combination provides awesome coverage and from what I can tell both are pretty good for your skin. And I like that I can do a couple layers over darker spots and it still looks quite natural.
I’ve been using Loreal Tru Minerals on and off for almost 3 years now, no matter what I switch to, I always come back to it. I’ve used the almay clean skin brand, and that it is actually what turned me on to acne.org - it felt like my face was on fire there were so many pimples.
I find Loreal has good coverage - light if you want and heavier if you apply more - and as long as you’re not heavy handed, it doesnt look like a mask. Also I’ve found using mineral makeups dont make the BP ball up - because you’re not dragging your fingers across your face.
Hope this helps someone!
I’ve tried them all! Merle Norman Powder base foundation has been the best for me. Long-wearing, has zinc oxide so it helps keep you clear, and provides opaque coverage for flaws, birthmarks and scars. Medium to maximum coverage. Moist finish. It’s about $15 and it last a long time.
An additional thing I love about Almay Smart Shade is that it has spf 15, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. And it doesn’t irritate my skin like some foundations do. For instance, Bare Minerals itched badly and resulted in breakouts for me. And some other foundations actually burn when they go on.
I’ve never had any issues with Almay.

I use Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup. I went to a department store and told the woman about my skin and she gave me that kind. it works well, and isnt orange. I’ve tried Bare Minerals, and it made me look so orange, but I love this Clinique because it covers really well and is the perfect color. I got it right when i started Dan’s Regimen and I’ve had great results so yeah im happy!
I have my daughter using bare essentials (bare minerals). it doesn’t seem to irritate her skin but would really love your expert in put
Thank you
Bobbi
The only make up that has ever worked well with my skin (and actually, to be honest, made breakouts better) is Jane Iredale mineral make up. It’s absolutely amazing. It covers breakouts very well and it doesn’t look unnatural and it’s easy to wash off. I also have pretty sensitive skin and this make up feels good and light on my skin as where other make ups I have tried irritated my skin. It is very important to clean brushes and other applicators regularly with any make up though.
I use Bare Minerals also and I LOVE it! It’s light and sheer so it doesn’t clog your pores and you can use it as a concealer also. You only need a tiny amount to cover up any red marks you may have and one container will last you months and months. I am so happy with it.
I have used Almay Smart Shade for several months. It is a very light and non irritating make-up. I use Maybelline mineral powder as additional coverage for those needed areas when necessary. Use a clean brush for the minerals and lighty apply. Both are inexpensive and do just as good a job as more expensive products. I use my fingertips for the Almay because a sponge is waistful. Using a brush is a technique that I believe is difficult to become adept at. Always make sure you wash hands before applying.
I just went to Target to check out this Almay smart shade makeup. Almay has a new product out called Pure Blends. I liked this one because it didn’t have any parabens or talc in it. Anyone used this product?
Almay had a mineral makeup that I absolutely loved (despite the horrible brush-tube packaging) but unfortunately they discontinued it. I’m hoping they’ll come out with another version for the Pure Blends line. Until then, I’m trying out Everyday Minerals which is the best I have found so far (thanks to the message boards).
Lily Lolo mineral makeup for those based in the uk is awesome and seems to work just fine alongside the regimen - have to make sure face is 100% dry from moisturiser before applying though! xx
I agree the almay smart shade is really gentle - and they’re a great company because they do not test on animals the way so many other cosmetics companies do.
have just started using everyday minerals though after reading so much about it on the boards, and it feels so light and lovely! hopefully it will work well for me
thanks for the video and fab site Dan!
I like the Physician’s Formula Makeup. I use their mineral make-up to provide light/med coverage for everyday wear (like at work). They also have a decent liquid foundation that I’ll use for special occasions. I like it because it’s specifically made for sensative skin. They don’t put a bunch of junk in it. And, you can find at just about any drugstore. My only problem with it is that it rubs off, but so does every other type of makeup I use. I’m thinking it’s because my skin is VERY VERY oily. My skin gets so oily sometime that I would probably be able to fry chicken on it!
I use Bare Minerals and I have severe acne. I love it! It never makes me breakout and I can control rather I have sheer coverage or a more full coverage. It’s perfect.
I went to Sephora the other day and I explained how, I am Acne prone so they suggested CoverFX, it’s awsome!! It hasn’t made me brake out and it also assists on calming and healing your skin at the same time. It also has SPF 30. I suggest you go try it out, you can always go back and return the make up even after you have tried it for a month! I have tried MAC and Bare minerals and they both made me brake out.
I have very senstitive skin where I would even get cysts and papules!! UGHH!
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH Dan for putting up this site, you were the answer I was looking for!
By the way your regimen has worked WONDERS for me.
I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer with the Regimen (Olay SPF15 during day). It’s labeled as a Retinol Treatment/SPF 20 Moisturizer/Sheer tint. I like that it is sheerer than foundation but just enough to cover some discoloration and the color is very natural. My skin has cleared up a lot on the regimen but I’m still having a few blemishes from time to time. I would be interested in knowing if retinol is not good to use? And does the SPF 20 interact with the SPF 15 in the Olay? Thank you for great products.
I use Prescriptives mineral makeup, great covverage and I have not broken out from it. I can see the regimen working well already and it’sn only been 2 weeks! I am so happy, who would have thought!
I haven’t been wearing makeup cuz of my acne but since I am clear after going on the regimen, I am thinking of starting to wear some again. BUT the big question (to me) is, what’s the best way of removing make up at the end of the day? Dan, you emphasize the importance of NOT overwashing but how can make up be removed without doing so? What’s the best way to remove make up without irritating your skin? Can Dan’s cleanser remove let’s say Almay foundation completely?
Almay smart shade??? My only concern is that I don’t think its oil free, so I purchased Almay Clear Complexion ( I haven’t tried it yet so we’ll see). I have tried Bare Minerals twice in my life and it broke me out both times. As for powders and blushes, Physicians Formula is my favorite.
Check out Umbrian Clay Freshface Foundation SPF 20 . It is amazing! It is kind of pricey but it is worth every penny. It does not make you brake out, looks natural and does not clump or have that fake tint appearance that most foundations have.
I started using this after my face cleared up from your regiment. It actually has made my skin healthier with its moisturizing ingredients!
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Phthalates
I am so suprised that only one person has mentioned Cover FX. And as till today i have no seen it mentioned on this site, and i visit frequently! I ABSOLUTELEY LOVE this stuff. i dont know what i would wear if this didnt egsist. I have incredible acne prone skin, ive had acne since grade 4 and am now in my 4th year university. This past year i have finaly found products that work for my horribly oily skin. This makeup was something that saved my skin in teh winter, when it is generally the WORST. Cover FX was designed by a dermatologist who needed something for 1st degree burn patients. Anyways here’s the deal, they have I think 60 shades, if not more. The women at the counter at shopers drug mart will tell you to buy the cream foundation because it covers well, BUT DON’T BE TEMPTED! I have fallen victim and this is way to thick for our skin. Despite the fact that u only have to put on the THINEST layer for it to look good, this is still not good for all those suffering from oily skin. Their web site recommends the water based foundation for acne skin. The coverage is amazing and it actually IMPROVED my winter skin. Their silicone based makeup remover is soooooooo gentle and I believe it had also improved my skin. You must obviously clean ur face afterwards with a face cleaner but it removes makeup so gently. I have even used this makeup remover to take off water proof makeup from vichy, which by the way is drying to my skin and only makes me break out. I also love the Cover FX minerals. This is the only company where I have been able to find my exact makeup shade, in all their different types of cosmetic products. I HIGHLY recommend it. I also recommend useing jojoba oil for acneic oily skin. It works wonders bc its not an oil its an ester wax. Read up on the review section. I HIGHLY recommend both, and ive struggled with genetic oily HORRIFIC acne my whole life, and Im acne free.
Hey, Dan! I’m so glad you’re looking into makeup lately. I have severe scarring and hyperpigmentation from years of cystic and nodular acne and the only foundation that has good enough coverage (while not breaking me out) is Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination/Oily skin. My skin is super-oily and this lasts all day. It is the only thing that brings backs even a fraction of the confidence I had pre-acne. Thanks for all you do!
Hey Dan, this video was great and I’m happy you’re giving us info about makeup too cause it is very helpful. However I wanted to share some of the makeup I had been using and has worked very well with me.Okay, so to start off I always make sure that the makeup I buy is non-comedogenic, oil-free, and fragrance-free. So, i thought about mineral makeup which obviously just by the name of it sounds healthy (though some are actually really bad)so I tried Mary-Kay’s mineral foundation and fell in love with it only to find out about 3 days later that it was causing me huge outbreaks. So i switched to Maybelline Mineral power liquid foundation including their concealer. I must say these products are just the best ever. They don’t clog my pores or cause new outbreaks on my skin. I also used Loreal’s true match pressed powder and it hasn’t caused any outbreaks on me either. Plus, it leaves my skin looking matte which is really nice. =D
I used mineral makeup for a while but it just made me look cakey and gross. I finally found something called The Present Clear Makeup by Philosophy. Its a primer that does not clog your pores at all. Its made for sensitive problem skin and it acts like a shield against makeup, dirt and enviornmental things. Its really great. Ever since i started using it about 1 month ago i have not had a single breakout. Infact my skin look amazing. I’m still on the DKregimen and I follow it pretty religiously but I use the present clear makeup instead of a moisturizer in the morning and not only does it help keep my skin clear but it helps my makeup to stay put and look fresh all day. I’m also using Makeup forever foundation. Its a really light formula that gives really nice coverage and doesn’t break me out. I clean my brushes with sephora’s antibacterial brush cleaner everyday!
I’ve been using DHC Q10 Cream foundation (dhccare.com) for a couple of years now. It doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts, and it’s one of the only things I’ve tried that actually covers all the hyperpigmentation and other scars. My sister watched me put on makeup one day and was marveling at the before and after transformation. Most people don’t even know that I have moderate acne because I’m able to cover it up with this product. If your skin is new to BP and still flaking badly, any cream foundation will stick to the flakes and make them even more noticeable. I recommend waiting for your skin to acclimate to BP before trying. Another product that I love, love, love is ColorScience Sunforgettable mineral powder with SPF 30. My dermatologist turned me on to this. Beautiful airbrushed coverage that matches my skin perfectly, and SPF without adding even more cream to my face.
I have very sensitive skin, moderate to severe, that is easily irritated! Oily/dry combination skin. Can’t do mineral powder makeup, nor MAC. Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation has worked the best for me over the past few years. Dermablend used to have foundation especially for acne, which included Salicylic Acid, however it seems to have been discontinued. It was basically waterproof! Oh well… While costly, I find that Christian Dior foundations and concealers work well and look natural while providing good coverage and not weighing heavily down on the skin. Pore size appears significantly smaller, and does not break me out.
I am so glad Haley mentioned Jane Iredale mineral cosmetics! I have worked with the particular brand for about 3 yrs now. It was developed by an MD/makeup artist who’s patients where complaining about their skin after microdermabrasions, peels, and laser treatments. Ingredients are all natural including willow bark and aloe vera. If you do any research on Jane Iredale, you will find that it is called a “skin care make up” This is because it literally will help heal your skin. I have many clients with acne, hyper pigmentation, and rosacea who swear by it. Now, this alone will not clear up acne! But it will soothe your skin and even it out and of course, prevent breakouts I will never use anything else on my face! Dan, please look into this makeup for the ladies! It;s such a wonderful product!
I.D. Bare minerals, the original mineral make up, it’s just fantastic! I’ve been using it for a few years, and my skin has improved.
I have had (adult) acne for almost 25 years, and allways used concealers and foundations, trying to cover up my bad skin.
Now, i use I.D. as a concealer where needed, and just a light touch on the rest of my face, using different brushes.
It feels and looks so natural, the powder melts on your skin without the sticky feeling you often get from creams.
It’s easy to mix two or more shades for the perfect skin tone, and the powder lasts for a very long time.
Bare Minerals made me break out and actually, even though I like Everyday Minerals, I had a similar breakout/reaction with it. I love mineral makeup, I just think I can’t use it.
I’m in search of a new make up … Clinique’s “city stick’ has worked well for spot treatment. It covers well and is very light & blendable. I just need full coverage now :/
jane iredale pressed powder works for me! i use warm sienna (yellow tone) since i have acne scars (red) and still light acne.
so i use… aveeno calm foam cleanser, i recently added olay refreshing toner, bp, olay complete lotion for sensitive skin, and then pressed powder (for more coverage, add disappear concealer or loose powder mix with water or lotion), and burts bees herb blemish stick for spot treatment.
i’ve used bare mineral before… it’s really shiny and natural looking, but it was hard for me to match the color, and it made my pores very noticeable.
I have been using Prescriptives Virtual Skin spf10 for many years. I have tried most of the others, including Almay, but alway come back to Prescriptives. Virtual Skin goes on very sheer and natural. It’s oil free also. I just ordered the regimen today and I am so excited to get it and try it! Will post again once I see results.
I like to use L’oreal Mousse Light in color for my red spots, even when they are scabby. After that, I put on blush all over, which evens out my skin tone. It only hides the little bumps, if you have a huge scab you have to fess up to it most of the time. In the past I had a light green colored powder which was meant to counter act the red color. You can give it a try. I;d rather have clear skin with no make up then bad skin with makeup. But there’s nothing worse than no make up and bad skin!
I like using Mineral Wear mineral make up. It’s inexpensive as good make-ups go and you can usually get it at Walgreens or the local drug store. What I like best about it is that it gives the look of full coverage, but it’s VERY light wear. If I end up at a party and can’t (or forget :P) to wash my face, I know that if I wash my face the very next day I should be fine if I fall asleep wearing it. The best part about Mineral Wear is that it’s formulated specifically for sensitive, acne prone skin (Physician’s Formula) and that it can last for several months with daily use. As a bonus, you don’t have to touch it up during the day– one application is usually enough for me, and I have very oily skin. My acne is moderate-severe (although getting ever better with the regimen, thank god) and Mineral Wear covers it the best while irritating my skin the least.
Youngblood. one of the best quality minerals available. gorgeous pigments. the coverage can range from light to heavy depending on what you are looking for.
make up for ever makes an AMAZING concealer..its full coverage extreme camouflage cream and it covers ANYTHING. i dont even need foundation sometimes when i use it. and the best part? its oil free, non-comdegenic AND waterproof so it lasts ALLL day with no need for touch ups or anything. also presciptives anywear powder foundation is great too!
I love Bare Escentuals. Powder concealer is non-clogging, oil-free, all natural and looks natural. Also, you apply it with a brush so you’re not touching your face, just clean the brushes regularly with soap and warm water. I like Bare Escentuals in particular because it gives me full coverage without looking like I have make-up on at all. I think my skin LIKES it.
I have a few favorites. I use Clinique superfit and I love it, along with clinique’s quick corrector, but I have also recently tried Clinique’s new mineral powder foundation with the shaver. It’s not as much coverage as superfit, but I love it. I am also a huge fan of Sheer cover. My husband said it looks the most natural and I say it has amazing coverage. I have light to moderate acne. Mostley self induced, ugh. I have purpleish and redish marks where old acne hasn’t completely healed or scarred. None of the make up above breaks me out. I keep hearing rave reviews about color stay though. I’d like to give it a try.
I have tried your regimen and it works soooo well!! It really helped clear up my skin and now it looks so much better. I went without makeup for a while and then was lost as to what to use. A friend of mine told me about Earth Goddess Minerals. They are a vegan line of makeup I’m vegan so that was a plus, I love the makeup! The foundation is awesome and does not make me breakout and it looks so natural and covers. they are online too which i like I don’t have time to go out looking for makeup. www.earthgoddessminerals.com
Bare Minerals is what really worked for me. It is a line of mineral make-up and is fantastic. I’ve been using it ever since my mother introduced it to me 4 years ago. My skin has greatly improved and my acne is 10 times better than before. I used to have severe acne and it was very embarrassing. I used the Bare Minerals and within a year my acne decreased dramatically. I am very busy and don’t have a lot of time to worry about my make-up. Bare Minerals is so easy to put on and doesn’t take very long. The best part is when I have a long day and go right in to bed, the make-up doesn’t make my skin break out the next morning.
Bare Minerals gives me a glow that lasts the entire day.
You can order it online, over the phone, or in make-up stores like Sephora.
***www.sheer-minerals.com *** Unlike bare minerals and sheer cover this makeup does not contain bismuth oxychloride, talc, or any other pore clogging fillers. Check out their website, they compare their ingredients to those of the most popular brands and you’ll find with more research the most popular brands that claim to be all natural still contain unnatural fillers. Click on the Mineral Info tab and they not only list the ingredients in the makeup, but what they’re for. They also list the harmful ingredients other mineral makeup contains and why it’s harmful to your skin. I recently purchased a kit and I love it!!!
Thanks Dan for this video!! I really do like Almay products and I think I will switch back…I had been using Bare Minerals for the last 6 months but recently stopped. I don’t know what made me start using Bare Minerals..I think I got sucked into the infomercial! My skin was really good before I switched, but about 3 months after using Bare Minerals powder I started to get tiny bumps, tons of clogged pores all over my face. After starting the regimen, I saw things improve to almost back to where I started. I also noticed the days that I did wear makeup my skin was very sensitive and itchy and days I didn’t my skin felt great…so, I stopped wearing makeup (despite my dread of going out bare-faced) Lately I’ve switched to physicians formula cover up which seems okay. Hopefully everything will clear up soon!
Hey it would be interesting to research the mineral make up and see if there is any truth in the rumours that ‘mica’ and ‘bismuth’ make acne worse. I use Bare Escentuals minerals and it makes my skin no worse than any other make up. I can’t live without foundation though I must admit so any advice and research in to make up is great as far as I am concerned.
hi, i have not started using the regimen yet because i just learned about it a minute ago, but i will because i can tell that you have done your research. i use maybelline pure makeup. it is supposed to be mostly water and oil free as well. i use because it is light weight, oil free, and it looks great on your face. please tell me if this product is a good one. i don’t really want to switch brands, but if it means clear skin i will in a heart beat. please please let me know.
I use bare minerals in the summer and lancome teint idole.
I think lancome is great bc it is also sheer and u can keep applying layers if you need full coverage or a small layer like dan said so you aren’t all caked on with makeup. ( its like a tint)
I believe the acne I’ve been dealing with for the past 10 years is due to the make up I use. I’ve switched to Almay and have been using salicylic acid every night and I am seeing lots of improvement. My skin is purging up crap that’s been their for years! I’m finally hopeful that I can get my old skin back. For years I used prespectives and most recently laura mercier and I became a master at covering every blemish so that it looked like I had perfect skin when I was made up. I love the coverage of those brands, but in hindsight, it makes sense that slopping makeup on your skin every day is not going to be good for it. Almay foundation is pretty good, not the best coverage in the world but as my skin improves, the foundation is going on better. Another added bonus is my skin is not as oily and I don’t need to touch it up my make up often. My goal is to not need make up at all one day. My strategy is to continue using salicylic acid, almay make up every day and to alternate BP and AHA at night. I’d love to try mineral make up but I hear too many horror stories how it doesn’t work for some people - that’s a risk I’m not willing to take. A second another commenter’s request that Dan research mineral make up! thanks for all that you do Dan!
I use Bare Minderals. It doesnt give th ebest of coverage for full blown zits but works pretty well for covering scars. It takes lest tat 5 minutes for me to do all my makeup, including eye makeup so thats a plus. It also doesnt make me break out as bad as liquid make up
I use Proactiv Sheer Tint Moisturizer. It is a tinted moisturizer that provides base coverage and an overall even tone. After all of the products that I have tried this one fits my skin best. I have extremely sensitive acre prone skin.
I have the most amazing brand of makeup.. Ever! I have used it for years and it has never let me down, so hopefully it will work for other people if they decide to try it based on this comment. It is Bear Minerals-mineral wear. It is a vitamin enriched POWDER thats goes on like a second layer of skin. When applied with the included brush and then patting over your face with a tissue when you are done, you cant tell that you even have make up on! Though i am not sure that it is “regimen approved”, it works great!
Wow, right after I posted this, I found a bunch of other people saying how bad bear minerals is on the message board…… WELL I LIKE IT! It doesn’t clog my pores if I cleanse my face every night and it did not effect my acne because I already had it before I started using the make up.
–p.s. I have not started the regimen yet because I
haven’t ordered my acne.org products yet

Larenim mineral makeup. Foundation & blush - lightweight powders. Doesn’t clog the pores, doesn’t break me out. Feels light on the skin. The founder of Larenim had acne, & the product was borne from her search for something that wouldn’t aggravate her skin.
April 27th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Oh, yeah I use Almay makeup all the time Dan! I’m in love with the stuff!!! Nice acne.org product too in the background

I use Bare Minerals, it is non-greasy, light, great coverage, takes care of redness, doesnt irritate my skin and feels light on my face. I would def. recommend it!

Bare Minerals does not work for me. It’s foundation powder has a sheen to it and it makes my skin look shiny and oily. Also, it contains bismuth oxychloride, which can irriate the skin. I use Prescriptives make up. I have the flawless powder which has SPF and is non-comedogenic. However, the Prescriptives concealer I use is only non-acnegenic, not non-comedogenic. Any news on the Prescriptives brand, Dan?

I agree that MAC is awful for your skin, I’ve had nothing but problems with their foundations. I currently use Physicians Formula Gentle Cover concealer stick and Jane Ireldale mineral pressed powder. That combination provides awesome coverage and from what I can tell both are pretty good for your skin. And I like that I can do a couple layers over darker spots and it still looks quite natural.

I’ve been using Loreal Tru Minerals on and off for almost 3 years now, no matter what I switch to, I always come back to it. I’ve used the almay clean skin brand, and that it is actually what turned me on to acne.org - it felt like my face was on fire there were so many pimples.
I find Loreal has good coverage - light if you want and heavier if you apply more - and as long as you’re not heavy handed, it doesnt look like a mask. Also I’ve found using mineral makeups dont make the BP ball up - because you’re not dragging your fingers across your face.
Hope this helps someone!

I’ve tried them all! Merle Norman Powder base foundation has been the best for me. Long-wearing, has zinc oxide so it helps keep you clear, and provides opaque coverage for flaws, birthmarks and scars. Medium to maximum coverage. Moist finish. It’s about $15 and it last a long time.
April 28th, 2009 at 7:51 am
An additional thing I love about Almay Smart Shade is that it has spf 15, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. And it doesn’t irritate my skin like some foundations do. For instance, Bare Minerals itched badly and resulted in breakouts for me. And some other foundations actually burn when they go on.
I’ve never had any issues with Almay.

I use Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup. I went to a department store and told the woman about my skin and she gave me that kind. it works well, and isnt orange. I’ve tried Bare Minerals, and it made me look so orange, but I love this Clinique because it covers really well and is the perfect color. I got it right when i started Dan’s Regimen and I’ve had great results so yeah im happy!

I have my daughter using bare essentials (bare minerals). it doesn’t seem to irritate her skin but would really love your expert in put
Thank you

I cannot use liquid makeup while on the DKRegimen–it balls up.
That’s when I started using mineral makeup–haven’t had ANY problems with breakouts.
Right now I’m using Meow Cosmetics mineral makeup.
Ingredients: Mica, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Boron Nitride, Iron Oxides
For drugstore makeup, I’ve used L’oreal’s Bare Natural Mineral Makeup and have had no problems w/ breakouts.

The only make up that has ever worked well with my skin (and actually, to be honest, made breakouts better) is Jane Iredale mineral make up. It’s absolutely amazing. It covers breakouts very well and it doesn’t look unnatural and it’s easy to wash off. I also have pretty sensitive skin and this make up feels good and light on my skin as where other make ups I have tried irritated my skin. It is very important to clean brushes and other applicators regularly with any make up though.
April 28th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Are those future/test products in the background??? Haha.
April 29th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Everyday minerals is the only make up that has never broke me out. It’s cheap and it looks absolutely perfect if applied correctly.
April 29th, 2009 at 1:45 am
I use Bare Minerals also and I LOVE it! It’s light and sheer so it doesn’t clog your pores and you can use it as a concealer also. You only need a tiny amount to cover up any red marks you may have and one container will last you months and months. I am so happy with it.

What is the best way to apply Almay smart shade? With the fingertips or a clean foundation brush?
April 29th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Dr. Perricone has a makeup called Pore Refining Concealer that is great.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
I have used Almay Smart Shade for several months. It is a very light and non irritating make-up. I use Maybelline mineral powder as additional coverage for those needed areas when necessary. Use a clean brush for the minerals and lighty apply. Both are inexpensive and do just as good a job as more expensive products. I use my fingertips for the Almay because a sponge is waistful. Using a brush is a technique that I believe is difficult to become adept at. Always make sure you wash hands before applying.
April 30th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I just went to Target to check out this Almay smart shade makeup. Almay has a new product out called Pure Blends. I liked this one because it didn’t have any parabens or talc in it. Anyone used this product?
April 30th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I like Everyday Minerals but those sensitive to mica won’t be able to tolerate it. Physician’s Formula is also nice to me.
April 30th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Almay had a mineral makeup that I absolutely loved (despite the horrible brush-tube packaging) but unfortunately they discontinued it. I’m hoping they’ll come out with another version for the Pure Blends line. Until then, I’m trying out Everyday Minerals which is the best I have found so far (thanks to the message boards).
April 30th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
I use Bobbi Brown makeup. I find that these products don’t clog my pores and cover up zits very well.
May 1st, 2009 at 5:29 am
Lily Lolo mineral makeup for those based in the uk is awesome and seems to work just fine alongside the regimen - have to make sure face is 100% dry from moisturiser before applying though! xx
May 2nd, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Clinique Perfectly Real Make Up is the best.
May 2nd, 2009 at 11:58 pm
I agree the almay smart shade is really gentle - and they’re a great company because they do not test on animals the way so many other cosmetics companies do.
have just started using everyday minerals though after reading so much about it on the boards, and it feels so light and lovely! hopefully it will work well for me
thanks for the video and fab site Dan!
May 5th, 2009 at 10:22 am
I like the Physician’s Formula Makeup. I use their mineral make-up to provide light/med coverage for everyday wear (like at work). They also have a decent liquid foundation that I’ll use for special occasions. I like it because it’s specifically made for sensative skin. They don’t put a bunch of junk in it. And, you can find at just about any drugstore. My only problem with it is that it rubs off, but so does every other type of makeup I use. I’m thinking it’s because my skin is VERY VERY oily. My skin gets so oily sometime that I would probably be able to fry chicken on it!
May 5th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
i have tried just about every makeup possible and the best by far and clears up my skin but it cost a arm and a leg is La priaire caviar foundation
May 6th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
I use Bare Minerals and I have severe acne. I love it! It never makes me breakout and I can control rather I have sheer coverage or a more full coverage. It’s perfect.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
I went to Sephora the other day and I explained how, I am Acne prone so they suggested CoverFX, it’s awsome!! It hasn’t made me brake out and it also assists on calming and healing your skin at the same time. It also has SPF 30. I suggest you go try it out, you can always go back and return the make up even after you have tried it for a month! I have tried MAC and Bare minerals and they both made me brake out.
I have very senstitive skin where I would even get cysts and papules!! UGHH!
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH Dan for putting up this site, you were the answer I was looking for!
By the way your regimen has worked WONDERS for me.
May 8th, 2009 at 9:33 am
I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer with the Regimen (Olay SPF15 during day). It’s labeled as a Retinol Treatment/SPF 20 Moisturizer/Sheer tint. I like that it is sheerer than foundation but just enough to cover some discoloration and the color is very natural. My skin has cleared up a lot on the regimen but I’m still having a few blemishes from time to time. I would be interested in knowing if retinol is not good to use? And does the SPF 20 interact with the SPF 15 in the Olay? Thank you for great products.

I use Prescriptives mineral makeup, great covverage and I have not broken out from it. I can see the regimen working well already and it’sn only been 2 weeks! I am so happy, who would have thought!
May 12th, 2009 at 2:53 am
I haven’t been wearing makeup cuz of my acne but since I am clear after going on the regimen, I am thinking of starting to wear some again. BUT the big question (to me) is, what’s the best way of removing make up at the end of the day? Dan, you emphasize the importance of NOT overwashing but how can make up be removed without doing so? What’s the best way to remove make up without irritating your skin? Can Dan’s cleanser remove let’s say Almay foundation completely?
May 16th, 2009 at 2:26 am
Almay smart shade??? My only concern is that I don’t think its oil free, so I purchased Almay Clear Complexion ( I haven’t tried it yet so we’ll see). I have tried Bare Minerals twice in my life and it broke me out both times. As for powders and blushes, Physicians Formula is my favorite.
May 17th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
PLEASE DAN:
Check out Umbrian Clay Freshface Foundation SPF 20 . It is amazing! It is kind of pricey but it is worth every penny. It does not make you brake out, looks natural and does not clump or have that fake tint appearance that most foundations have.
I started using this after my face cleared up from your regiment. It actually has made my skin healthier with its moisturizing ingredients!
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Phthalates
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I am so suprised that only one person has mentioned Cover FX. And as till today i have no seen it mentioned on this site, and i visit frequently! I ABSOLUTELEY LOVE this stuff. i dont know what i would wear if this didnt egsist. I have incredible acne prone skin, ive had acne since grade 4 and am now in my 4th year university. This past year i have finaly found products that work for my horribly oily skin. This makeup was something that saved my skin in teh winter, when it is generally the WORST. Cover FX was designed by a dermatologist who needed something for 1st degree burn patients. Anyways here’s the deal, they have I think 60 shades, if not more. The women at the counter at shopers drug mart will tell you to buy the cream foundation because it covers well, BUT DON’T BE TEMPTED! I have fallen victim and this is way to thick for our skin. Despite the fact that u only have to put on the THINEST layer for it to look good, this is still not good for all those suffering from oily skin. Their web site recommends the water based foundation for acne skin. The coverage is amazing and it actually IMPROVED my winter skin. Their silicone based makeup remover is soooooooo gentle and I believe it had also improved my skin. You must obviously clean ur face afterwards with a face cleaner but it removes makeup so gently. I have even used this makeup remover to take off water proof makeup from vichy, which by the way is drying to my skin and only makes me break out. I also love the Cover FX minerals. This is the only company where I have been able to find my exact makeup shade, in all their different types of cosmetic products. I HIGHLY recommend it. I also recommend useing jojoba oil for acneic oily skin. It works wonders bc its not an oil its an ester wax. Read up on the review section. I HIGHLY recommend both, and ive struggled with genetic oily HORRIFIC acne my whole life, and Im acne free.
May 24th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Hey, Dan! I’m so glad you’re looking into makeup lately. I have severe scarring and hyperpigmentation from years of cystic and nodular acne and the only foundation that has good enough coverage (while not breaking me out) is Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination/Oily skin. My skin is super-oily and this lasts all day. It is the only thing that brings backs even a fraction of the confidence I had pre-acne. Thanks for all you do!
May 26th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Hey Dan, this video was great and I’m happy you’re giving us info about makeup too cause it is very helpful. However I wanted to share some of the makeup I had been using and has worked very well with me.Okay, so to start off I always make sure that the makeup I buy is non-comedogenic, oil-free, and fragrance-free. So, i thought about mineral makeup which obviously just by the name of it sounds healthy (though some are actually really bad)so I tried Mary-Kay’s mineral foundation and fell in love with it only to find out about 3 days later that it was causing me huge outbreaks. So i switched to Maybelline Mineral power liquid foundation including their concealer. I must say these products are just the best ever. They don’t clog my pores or cause new outbreaks on my skin. I also used Loreal’s true match pressed powder and it hasn’t caused any outbreaks on me either. Plus, it leaves my skin looking matte which is really nice. =D
June 1st, 2009 at 11:01 am
I used mineral makeup for a while but it just made me look cakey and gross. I finally found something called The Present Clear Makeup by Philosophy. Its a primer that does not clog your pores at all. Its made for sensitive problem skin and it acts like a shield against makeup, dirt and enviornmental things. Its really great. Ever since i started using it about 1 month ago i have not had a single breakout. Infact my skin look amazing. I’m still on the DKregimen and I follow it pretty religiously but I use the present clear makeup instead of a moisturizer in the morning and not only does it help keep my skin clear but it helps my makeup to stay put and look fresh all day. I’m also using Makeup forever foundation. Its a really light formula that gives really nice coverage and doesn’t break me out. I clean my brushes with sephora’s antibacterial brush cleaner everyday!
June 13th, 2009 at 11:19 am
I’ve been using DHC Q10 Cream foundation (dhccare.com) for a couple of years now. It doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts, and it’s one of the only things I’ve tried that actually covers all the hyperpigmentation and other scars. My sister watched me put on makeup one day and was marveling at the before and after transformation. Most people don’t even know that I have moderate acne because I’m able to cover it up with this product. If your skin is new to BP and still flaking badly, any cream foundation will stick to the flakes and make them even more noticeable. I recommend waiting for your skin to acclimate to BP before trying. Another product that I love, love, love is ColorScience Sunforgettable mineral powder with SPF 30. My dermatologist turned me on to this. Beautiful airbrushed coverage that matches my skin perfectly, and SPF without adding even more cream to my face.
June 16th, 2009 at 12:42 am
I have very sensitive skin, moderate to severe, that is easily irritated! Oily/dry combination skin. Can’t do mineral powder makeup, nor MAC. Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation has worked the best for me over the past few years. Dermablend used to have foundation especially for acne, which included Salicylic Acid, however it seems to have been discontinued. It was basically waterproof! Oh well… While costly, I find that Christian Dior foundations and concealers work well and look natural while providing good coverage and not weighing heavily down on the skin. Pore size appears significantly smaller, and does not break me out.
June 20th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I am so glad Haley mentioned Jane Iredale mineral cosmetics! I have worked with the particular brand for about 3 yrs now. It was developed by an MD/makeup artist who’s patients where complaining about their skin after microdermabrasions, peels, and laser treatments. Ingredients are all natural including willow bark and aloe vera. If you do any research on Jane Iredale, you will find that it is called a “skin care make up” This is because it literally will help heal your skin. I have many clients with acne, hyper pigmentation, and rosacea who swear by it. Now, this alone will not clear up acne! But it will soothe your skin and even it out and of course, prevent breakouts
I will never use anything else on my face! Dan, please look into this makeup for the ladies! It;s such a wonderful product!
July 2nd, 2009 at 9:06 am
I.D. Bare minerals, the original mineral make up, it’s just fantastic! I’ve been using it for a few years, and my skin has improved.
I have had (adult) acne for almost 25 years, and allways used concealers and foundations, trying to cover up my bad skin.
Now, i use I.D. as a concealer where needed, and just a light touch on the rest of my face, using different brushes.
It feels and looks so natural, the powder melts on your skin without the sticky feeling you often get from creams.
It’s easy to mix two or more shades for the perfect skin tone, and the powder lasts for a very long time.
Just remember to clean the brushes!
July 7th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Bare Minerals made me break out and actually, even though I like Everyday Minerals, I had a similar breakout/reaction with it. I love mineral makeup, I just think I can’t use it.
I’m in search of a new make up … Clinique’s “city stick’ has worked well for spot treatment. It covers well and is very light & blendable. I just need full coverage now :/
July 14th, 2009 at 2:09 am
jane iredale pressed powder works for me! i use warm sienna (yellow tone) since i have acne scars (red) and still light acne.
so i use… aveeno calm foam cleanser, i recently added olay refreshing toner, bp, olay complete lotion for sensitive skin, and then pressed powder (for more coverage, add disappear concealer or loose powder mix with water or lotion), and burts bees herb blemish stick for spot treatment.
i’ve used bare mineral before… it’s really shiny and natural looking, but it was hard for me to match the color, and it made my pores very noticeable.
July 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I have been using Prescriptives Virtual Skin spf10 for many years. I have tried most of the others, including Almay, but alway come back to Prescriptives. Virtual Skin goes on very sheer and natural. It’s oil free also. I just ordered the regimen today and I am so excited to get it and try it! Will post again once I see results.
July 20th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I like to use L’oreal Mousse Light in color for my red spots, even when they are scabby. After that, I put on blush all over, which evens out my skin tone. It only hides the little bumps, if you have a huge scab you have to fess up to it most of the time. In the past I had a light green colored powder which was meant to counter act the red color. You can give it a try. I;d rather have clear skin with no make up then bad skin with makeup. But there’s nothing worse than no make up and bad skin!
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I like using Mineral Wear mineral make up. It’s inexpensive as good make-ups go and you can usually get it at Walgreens or the local drug store. What I like best about it is that it gives the look of full coverage, but it’s VERY light wear. If I end up at a party and can’t (or forget :P) to wash my face, I know that if I wash my face the very next day I should be fine if I fall asleep wearing it. The best part about Mineral Wear is that it’s formulated specifically for sensitive, acne prone skin (Physician’s Formula) and that it can last for several months with daily use. As a bonus, you don’t have to touch it up during the day– one application is usually enough for me, and I have very oily skin. My acne is moderate-severe (although getting ever better with the regimen, thank god) and Mineral Wear covers it the best while irritating my skin the least.
August 10th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Youngblood. one of the best quality minerals available. gorgeous pigments. the coverage can range from light to heavy depending on what you are looking for.
August 18th, 2009 at 9:00 am
make up for ever makes an AMAZING concealer..its full coverage extreme camouflage cream and it covers ANYTHING. i dont even need foundation sometimes when i use it. and the best part? its oil free, non-comdegenic AND waterproof so it lasts ALLL day with no need for touch ups or anything. also presciptives anywear powder foundation is great too!
September 4th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I love Bare Escentuals. Powder concealer is non-clogging, oil-free, all natural and looks natural. Also, you apply it with a brush so you’re not touching your face, just clean the brushes regularly with soap and warm water. I like Bare Escentuals in particular because it gives me full coverage without looking like I have make-up on at all. I think my skin LIKES it.
September 8th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I have a few favorites. I use Clinique superfit and I love it, along with clinique’s quick corrector, but I have also recently tried Clinique’s new mineral powder foundation with the shaver. It’s not as much coverage as superfit, but I love it. I am also a huge fan of Sheer cover. My husband said it looks the most natural and I say it has amazing coverage. I have light to moderate acne. Mostley self induced, ugh. I have purpleish and redish marks where old acne hasn’t completely healed or scarred. None of the make up above breaks me out. I keep hearing rave reviews about color stay though. I’d like to give it a try.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I have tried your regimen and it works soooo well!! It really helped clear up my skin and now it looks so much better. I went without makeup for a while and then was lost as to what to use. A friend of mine told me about Earth Goddess Minerals. They are a vegan line of makeup I’m vegan so that was a plus, I love the makeup! The foundation is awesome and does not make me breakout and it looks so natural and covers. they are online too which i like I don’t have time to go out looking for makeup.

September 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Bare Minerals is what really worked for me. It is a line of mineral make-up and is fantastic. I’ve been using it ever since my mother introduced it to me 4 years ago. My skin has greatly improved and my acne is 10 times better than before. I used to have severe acne and it was very embarrassing. I used the Bare Minerals and within a year my acne decreased dramatically. I am very busy and don’t have a lot of time to worry about my make-up. Bare Minerals is so easy to put on and doesn’t take very long. The best part is when I have a long day and go right in to bed, the make-up doesn’t make my skin break out the next morning.
Bare Minerals gives me a glow that lasts the entire day.
You can order it online, over the phone, or in make-up stores like Sephora.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
***www.sheer-minerals.com *** Unlike bare minerals and sheer cover this makeup does not contain bismuth oxychloride, talc, or any other pore clogging fillers. Check out their website, they compare their ingredients to those of the most popular brands and you’ll find with more research the most popular brands that claim to be all natural still contain unnatural fillers. Click on the Mineral Info tab and they not only list the ingredients in the makeup, but what they’re for. They also list the harmful ingredients other mineral makeup contains and why it’s harmful to your skin. I recently purchased a kit and I love it!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Thanks Dan for this video!! I really do like Almay products and I think I will switch back…I had been using Bare Minerals for the last 6 months but recently stopped. I don’t know what made me start using Bare Minerals..I think I got sucked into the infomercial! My skin was really good before I switched, but about 3 months after using Bare Minerals powder I started to get tiny bumps, tons of clogged pores all over my face. After starting the regimen, I saw things improve to almost back to where I started. I also noticed the days that I did wear makeup my skin was very sensitive and itchy and days I didn’t my skin felt great…so, I stopped wearing makeup (despite my dread of going out bare-faced) Lately I’ve switched to physicians formula cover up which seems okay. Hopefully everything will clear up soon!
October 10th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Maybe you could formulate a Make Up Base especially for Acne.org ?
October 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am
I use L’Oreal True Match foundation. It is oil free and contains SPF 17!! It is light and easily blendable giving a very natual look!!!!
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:16 am
Hey it would be interesting to research the mineral make up and see if there is any truth in the rumours that ‘mica’ and ‘bismuth’ make acne worse. I use Bare Escentuals minerals and it makes my skin no worse than any other make up. I can’t live without foundation though I must admit so any advice and research in to make up is great as far as I am concerned.
October 24th, 2009 at 11:48 am
hi, i have not started using the regimen yet because i just learned about it a minute ago, but i will because i can tell that you have done your research. i use maybelline pure makeup. it is supposed to be mostly water and oil free as well. i use because it is light weight, oil free, and it looks great on your face. please tell me if this product is a good one. i don’t really want to switch brands, but if it means clear skin i will in a heart beat. please please let me know.
October 29th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I use bare minerals in the summer and lancome teint idole.
I think lancome is great bc it is also sheer and u can keep applying layers if you need full coverage or a small layer like dan said so you aren’t all caked on with makeup. ( its like a tint)
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I believe the acne I’ve been dealing with for the past 10 years is due to the make up I use. I’ve switched to Almay and have been using salicylic acid every night and I am seeing lots of improvement. My skin is purging up crap that’s been their for years! I’m finally hopeful that I can get my old skin back. For years I used prespectives and most recently laura mercier and I became a master at covering every blemish so that it looked like I had perfect skin when I was made up. I love the coverage of those brands, but in hindsight, it makes sense that slopping makeup on your skin every day is not going to be good for it. Almay foundation is pretty good, not the best coverage in the world but as my skin improves, the foundation is going on better. Another added bonus is my skin is not as oily and I don’t need to touch it up my make up often. My goal is to not need make up at all one day. My strategy is to continue using salicylic acid, almay make up every day and to alternate BP and AHA at night. I’d love to try mineral make up but I hear too many horror stories how it doesn’t work for some people - that’s a risk I’m not willing to take. A second another commenter’s request that Dan research mineral make up! thanks for all that you do Dan!
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I use Bare Minderals. It doesnt give th ebest of coverage for full blown zits but works pretty well for covering scars. It takes lest tat 5 minutes for me to do all my makeup, including eye makeup so thats a plus. It also doesnt make me break out as bad as liquid make up
November 5th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
I’m surprised no one has mentioned ORIGINS… i use the pressed powder and love it. gives me plenty of coverage.
November 7th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I use Proactiv Sheer Tint Moisturizer. It is a tinted moisturizer that provides base coverage and an overall even tone. After all of the products that I have tried this one fits my skin best. I have extremely sensitive acre prone skin.
November 8th, 2009 at 1:41 am
I have the most amazing brand of makeup.. Ever! I have used it for years and it has never let me down, so hopefully it will work for other people if they decide to try it based on this comment. It is Bear Minerals-mineral wear. It is a vitamin enriched POWDER thats goes on like a second layer of skin. When applied with the included brush and then patting over your face with a tissue when you are done, you cant tell that you even have make up on! Though i am not sure that it is “regimen approved”, it works great!
November 8th, 2009 at 1:54 am
Wow, right after I posted this, I found a bunch of other people saying how bad bear minerals is on the message board…… WELL I LIKE IT! It doesn’t clog my pores if I cleanse my face every night and it did not effect my acne because I already had it before I started using the make up.
–p.s. I have not started the regimen yet because I
haven’t ordered my acne.org products yet
