I discovered this first product when I was looking at CVS for a tinted spot treatment that I could wear under my makeup. One that wouldn't dry with a pasty white film look. I've used the Proactiv mask for years to spot treat, which contains Sulfur, a miracle worker for acne. Post my 20's, I still breakout; however, putting a product all over left me dry in spots. This treatment cream was just the thing for what I needed, and I can use it all over without it drying me out. Plus, it goes great under my foundation... (more to come on that in a minute).
This Clearasil tinted cream contains the sulfur I love, plus benzoyl peroxide. I'm obsessed. I use it every night, and sometimes under my makeup if I feel a breakout coming on. This product was on the bottom shelf, and there weren't many of them. Make sure that underneath the "Adult Tinted Acne Cream," that it says "Sulfur 8%, etc" - the sulfur is the magic ingredient!
Ok on to the next gem..... I am not a liquid foundation wearer. It's simply always been too heavy for my taste. I've always used concealer and then a foundation powder. However, I thought I'd try out this Healthy Skin foundation in a compact, b/c Estee Lauder used to carry a product called Impeccable that came in a compact, and it always worked well with my skin. I can LOOK at foundations and they make me break out, so I was skeptical to try this; however, when used with a foundation brush (this is key with any foundation!) it goes on so smoothly, and it's really evened out my skin tone. I now keep one in my makeup bag, and one in my purse carry-on makeup bag. I use the color Nude. It's very neutral, not too much pink; not too much yellow; Natural Beige, seen below, is also good if you're tan (not me this summer!). There are several containers that look like this one in this makeup line. This is, indeed, the creamy formula. It's not a powder.
Hope you guys are having a great summer! I'm hoping to blog more often now that my travel schedule has slowed down a bit. Cheers!
