I first came across mineral makeup after starting to see a dermatologist for acne issues. Considering my very sensitive skin they recommended I try mineral makeup (they started me out on a different brand than BE). I fell in love with the concept and effects of mineral makeup. My skin is not irritated by the makeup at all. PLUS, I have a very pale complexion and always had a hard time finding the right color but was never successful - even the liquid Ivory's were too dark. I hated the goopy, greasy, streaky mess of liquid foundations and am glad that for me they have gone by the wayside. Bare Escentuals, a San Francisco based company, provides the most widely accessible, well-known, broad line of mineral makeup. It is a bit pricey but the makeup lasts and lasts and is so much more convenient than anything else I have ever come across! -

Having done a round of Accutane in my late teens and being a Cetaphil fanatic I am very wary and cautious when trying the newest "claim it" facial product. I received a free-sample pouch of Biore's Skin Boosting Night Serum and with trepidation put it on one night, after cleansing, anxiously awaiting morning when I was sure I would be covered in blemishes. Not so!!! This isn't an "anti-wrinkle", "collagen-boosting", specific flaw treatment. Rather, it really is an overall skin boosting serum, noticeably calming, smoothing, and softening the skin upon waking in the morning (one can of course also use it in the AM if they so wish). The serum is a light, silky texture which goes on smoothly and lightly leaving no greasy, oily after effects but an immediate improvement in the feel of your skin. Truly as soon as it is put on one feels a softening effect. This product is wonderful for even the most sensitive prone skin and will in fact reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (though it makes no such claims). I, a beauty product cynic, highly recommend it. -
