What's up with all these bad reviews?
I waited for about a month of using this product before writing this review:
When I brought this product at a local Sephora, I used it with two points in mind:
1. Blemishes take 2 weeks to form. They might rise to the surface more quickly depending on stress, diet, hygiene, etc. I wasn't expecting a one-day or even a one-week miracle.
2. Make sure to to completely wash the face (I use a cleansing towelette to remove makeup and the Proactiv system) before applying Rareminerals.
I had these difficult small, whiteheads on my forehead, along the tight side ridges of my blackheaded-nose, and above my upper lip. It always made me cringe when they became inflamed and left scars on those areas. When I started using this product, I didn't really see major changes until about 1-2 weeks afterwards.
I am happy to say that the product is fantastic. I like how the sulfur in the product helps put down the redness and the size and frequencies of the whiteheads. There are NONE now. This product isn't over-drying at all and it didn't make me itch. I now make it a practice to pat on rareminerals on areas that are prone to break out even when my skin is clear.
Also, I don't know if it is because of this product but for about a year or so I had this unexplained redness around my mouth. I wasn't sure if it was just discoloration or a fungus but I was always embarrassed about it and covered it up with make up. However, when I started using this product it just...disappeared? I'm thinking about testing this theory out by not using rareminerals but I don't think I want to go through another period of that!
I know all these skin conditions sound gross but I brought them up because I want to show that this product definitely works. If you were to see my skin now you wouldn't even think I had problems like that!
Another point for doubling as a concealer! 1 +
It does have an unusual fragrance but it didn't really bother me that much and it does go away as soon as you apply makeup or your personal skin oils/smells seeps through.
Of course, using rareminerals alone as your sole blemish-routine isn't a good idea. I use this as a fine-tuner to my cleansing system and I feel that I've finally perfected it!
Good luck!
Great Product
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Bare Escentuals had a blemish treatment powder, as I am a big fan of the Bare Minerals line. Within a few hours of applying the redness was gone and so was the size of my 1 week old zit. It blends perfectly and doesn't dry out my skin which are the main reasons I give this product a high rating. I will buy this product again and again.
