This stuff doesn't burn or itch, and it goes on well over topical acne medications. Provides light coverage with spf from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Doesn't aggravate acne prone skin. Doesn't settle into scars, large pores, or fine lines. I love this stuff.ConsIt's not a full coverage foundation, which I think is a "pro", but some people might want more coverage from their foundation. If you like a light coverage natural looking foundation, give this a try.This is a great foundation, imo. For easier application, I… Covergirl : Simply Powder 5.0ProsThis is marketed as a powder foundation, but I use it as a setting powder over Almay Smart Shade foundation. It works great for removing shine from oily skin, it doesn't itch, it doesn't settle into lines, pores, or scars, and it doesn't turn colors throughout the day. This hasn't aggravated my acne prone skin at all. Non-fragranced.ConsJust the sponge that comes with it. I hate it so I toss it when I buy a new compact and just use some reusable washable flat powder puffs. And the packaging is kindof strange at first. You have to assemble the compact, but once you've done it it's easy the next time.This is my favorite pressed powder and I couldn't live… Clinique : Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector 5.0ProsThis is great for minimizing the look of enlarged or scarred pores. You use it to fill in the scars or pores, then apply your foundation over it. It doesn't aggravate acne prone skin, it's fragrance free, and hasn't caused any breakouts for me in the year that I've been using it.ConsI wish it came in a larger tube. It's pretty costly for such a tiny tube. It's 0.5oz and cost me $18.This is a great product if you have enlarged or… Clinique : Stay True Makeup, Oil-Free Foundation 3.0ProsOil-free, fragrance-free. Medium to heavy coverage.ConsThis worked well for me when I was a teen, but as I've gotten older it just didn't work well with my skin. It dries too quickly and looks thick and mask-like. Settles into pores and lines.It might be a good choice for younger girls with… Clinique : Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher 5.0ProsOil-free, fragrance-free, non-irritating powder blush. Doesn't itch or streak. Works well with oily skin. Doesn't break me out.ConsCan't think of any.I've used this blush for decades. It's my favorite and… Physician's Formula : Mineral Wear Foundation 2.0ProsOil-free, frangrance free.ConsMy skin didn't do well with this. Mineral makeup either makes my skin itchy, or shiny, or it seems to settle into every pore, scar, or flaw. I tossed it after a week or so.If you already have flawless skin, I'm sure this product… Bare Escentuals : Bare Minerals 1.0ProsThe idea of mineral makeup is appealing.
