Before accutane my skin was dry, but after (even now a year later) i am even drier than before. This makes it so hard to find a foundation that doesn't go all flaky and also covers up my acne scars!
I currently use Clinque's acne solutions but i have also tried Laura Mercier creme smooth foundation, Estee Lauder double wear, Mac studio fix fluid, Revlon colorstay, Bourjois healthy mix and L'oreal true match lumi.
I used Mac prolongwear concealer when trying all of these and they all started cracking within 4 hours. I'm actually getting so down about it, i just want to find a good one that will cover my scars and stay on dry pale skin.
Any recommendations please
hi Fault,
Maybe try mixing your foundation with a good moisturizer. In my opinion, makeup doesn't do a very good job as a treatment for the skin. My dern recommended Neutrogena Healthy Defense and I use Mac Sudio Fix at 1:1. At first I thought the moisturizer was too greasy, but I decided to give it a fair shot, since she recommended it. And what I'm finding is that my skin isn't producing as much oil because it's already nice and 'lubed up.' Hope this helps.
