Does anyone know if foundation will apply normally after the regimen is applied to the skin? cause I feel like the benzoyl peroxide would make the foundation look weird. just wondering. 🙂

The trick is to have the BP and moisturizer absorbed into the skin. Once that is done makeup can sit nicely on the face. This will be tricky starting out because your skin is still very rough and dry but eventually when your skin adjusts to the BP you can wear makeup.

I have used only liquid foundations. Revlon Colorstay, Bourjois Air Mat, Loreal Infallible, Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluid. All looked really good with the regimen.

Thanks for your advice! For foundation I use the L'Oreal infallible, so it's good to hear that it'll still look ok with it! How long does it usually take for the BP and Moisturizer to absorb?

It really depends. I have been clear for a while now and use only 1 pump for BP and moisturizer so it doesn't take that long. I usually give BP 15 mins to absorb and then 10 mins for my moisturizer (I use Cerave lotion because it absorbs quickly).
