I agree with D ^ You may have been so irritated before because it was 10%. A concentration that high is bound to irritate most people. If it was a true allergic reaction to the BP on the other hand, ...

From what I've read, Picolinate is supposed to the best as it is most easily absorbed by the body. Gluconate is supposed to very good aswell… so either one I'm sure is just fine. I've had a hard time...

Unfortunately some people just have oily eyelids! I sure do. It's quite common. Using a proper eye cream on your eye area should help to keep it hydrated but not overly oily. As for the eyeliner smud...

I'm starting to doubt this product.   I got the AHA for the sake of assisting in fading acne marks. Havent made much progress on that.   This doesnt absorb very easily and just stays stick...

Yay! That's what we're here for. I'm so glad you're going to stick it out. As someone who had great success using BP for 10+ years, I know what it can do to keep you clear and that after everything h...

Building up the AHA usage gradually is definitely key, as Iggs said. I used mine two nights in a row (mixed with moisturizer) and found that even that was too much… I was suddenly dry and flaky all ov...

Hey Olivia, Yes it definitely does take some time. While some see great results in only a few weeks, many (I would actually say most) have to stick it out at least a couple months before they start t...

Ahhh yes, and the cold weather! Not helpful either. Stick out the powder as long as you can, espcecially if you've had problems with liquids in the past. If you can manage to find a good moisturizer t...

I would say to do it just nightly for few days, and then add in every 2nd morning for a week or so until your skin is really used to it again… and then go for morning and night everyday and start ramp...

No worries! I definitely do recommend the UD Naked Skin. It's so light but it's buildable aswell.   Powders are often better for acne prone skin as they don't tend to be as clog prone, however i...

The most effective way to "cover" large pores is to apply a primer before your foundation. Pores unfortunately do not open or close. As your skin loses collagen (accelerated with age and sun exposure ...

Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation is waterbased and very lightweight. Bare Minerals has a newer liquid foundation serum called Bare Skin, also very lightweight. Laura Mercier and Josie Maran both ma...

Yes this is almost my exact situation. I used BP for over 10 years. 6 months ago I decided to stop using it aswell, and unfortunately did discover over the next few months that my skin couldn't do wit...

Hey maggieb93! The dryness is still completely normal near the end of week 2. Everyone is different of course, but the dryness can stick around anywhere from a week to a few. As long as the dryness i...

It's possible that that particular moisturizer didn't agree with your skin. Regardless of your skin type, moisturizing (especially while using BP) is very important. Check out Dan's guide to recommend...

Most lighter coverage foundations don't tend to give very matte finish, so I agree with starting with a mattifying moisturizer and then following up with a light foundation, BB cream, or tinted moistu...

This is a nerdy fact that a lot of people won't understand unless they like musicals, but one of the actresses who has played Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway used the Extra Mild version to remove the gr...

FarFromNormal, you have come to the right place! I think it's safe to say that everyone on here is either going through it, or has gone through it, at some point in their lives. So with that being sai...

Thanks for your replies! It could definitely be the dripping, but I think more then my t-zone should have becomed shiny then? Or maybe my skin is thinner there?   The shampoos I've used is for d...

Potentially, as the shiny areas are where the shampoo would likely drip down… what kind are you using? And have you tried using a mattifying moisturizer?

Usually skin that's shiny (and often tight) like that is from over exfoliation. You said you only use water to cleanse… absolutely nothing else? No exfoliating devices or moisturizers or anything?

Thanks, klm15. At least it's good to know I'm not alone. I actually eat a pretty healthy diet of lean protein and veggies, with almost no dairy and sugar. Which makes it more frustrating since no matt...
