Rare Minerals Review - So far, so good...

by Pam
(USA)

I am 32, with a history of mostly hormonal breakouts which can be large and cystic. They leave scars even if I don't pick at them, so I have a lot of skin tone unevenness. My skin is mostly combination with dry cheek patches, with a tendency to get oily pretty quickly.

I bought the Rare Minerals Skin Revival Treatment in Tan.

Pros: Skin is softer, seems more even and less prone to breakouts, currently. I haven't been the most consistent in using this product every night, though. This particular product doesn't have a fragrance - the blemish treatment and cleanser smell kind of like Aveeno or another oatmeal type product. There are still more stubborn areas I'd like to even out, though, but overall, I'm happy with how my skin is looking these days. Having said that, it could just be that I'm using products dedicated to my skin and using them consistently, which is making the difference.

Cons: Important - DO NOT USE DURING DAY! The saleslady told me - and I confirmed - that this product contains a form of vitamin A which helps with wrinkles - you aren't supposed to be exposed to sun when you have this on your face - kind of like Retin-A treatment. Also, the "tan" color is still kind of pale on me, surprisingly, so it wouldn't double as a foundation. The clear kind has mineral starch in it, so it's not as "natural". Expensive. Don't like the brush delivery system either, but that might be because I'm still trying to figure out how much I should be using, and I can't tell where I've put it.

Good luck!
