Bare Escentuals RareMinerals(TM) Blemish Therapy 0.07 oz

The powder smelled funny and I also noticed that my skin was red after I applied it. I don't have sensitive skin so this was unusual.

I've been a BE fan for years. It's the first make-up I've ever used that doesn't make my sensitive skin break out. I'd also found a pretty good acne system that was keeping my skin under control - until I got pregnant. Very quickly I had a nice crop on my upper chest & chin and random zits just kept popping up all over my face. I tried this on a whim, and have been amazed. The first day I put it on, I noticed an immediate reduction in redness around all of my blemishes. Within a couple of days, the current ones were in "remission." So long as I use it daily, it's a great tool to keep my break-outs under control; I do notice a big, negative difference if I skip a day on the weekend, though. I treat the new ones as soon as I see them developing and this stuff really does fight them off! I'm hooked.

I bought this product as soon as it came out and have been very happy with it. Don't be fooled by the small container. . . this little bit will go a long way. I like that it has the covering aspect to it. This is a good match with the Rare Minerals overnight powder as well.

This product works wonders on problem areas and helps keep them relatively oil and acne free. In addition to spot-treating, I usually wipe some on a clean, soft brush (NOT the same one you use for your foundation, or you'll contaminate it) and just wipe a thin layer on all over my face underneath my foundation. As far as I can tell, this has significantly helped my problem areas, and reduced outbreaks and blackheads as well. It probably won't work for everyone because nothing does, but I would definitely recommend at least trying it, because I love it.

I see that this product works for some and not for others, so the reviews would probably be more helpful if this product were a book or something.
I personally have had great success with this product. I have had problems with acne since the birth of my first child. I have tried many of the different acne products like ProActive and Murad with no success. This product, however, has given me amazing results and for the first time since babies, I have clear skin. I think this product is great. The smell, to me, is an herbal smell.
I've also reviewed the other RareMineral products because I use the Facial Cleanser and the Skin Revival Treatment along with the Blemish Therapy as an entire skincare regime. I've used these things together less than a week (I've had the Nighttime Revival Treatment for awhile) and I can't tell you how much of a difference it's had on my skin. I am very happy with this product!
