I purchased this product after reading all the reviews here online, and boy was I horribly disappointed!! While it is lightweight, it doesn't stay on skin, and after a week of applying it to 1 small blemish, there was no change in the blemish. I was so disappointed since I had heard so many good things about his brand of products. I guess its just not for me.
I bought this when I had a huge major breakout. I was lucky enough to get this on sale. The instructions say it works better on direct application to acne, rather than spreading it all over the face. It was a little difficult for me to wear under my make up because I am not currently using mineral makeup, but a liquid foundation. So I would usually apply it when I know I'm not going out and not putting on make up. It the odor is a little strong, because it is made of sulfur. However I'd say that over all, it did it's work on the bigger pimples more than I could see on all the little ones. I probably should've used it more religiously.
I was very impressed with this product. I have adult acne (cyst like) and it has greatly helped. When I start feeling one forming I put the powder on and most times it clears it before it goes any further. If I actually have a full blown pimple it quickly takes care of it. Definitely will buy again!
I live in Vegas where the temperature soars to outrageous numbers. Bare Minerals works on the days I have to put my face on & it's gross outside. I'm pushing 40 and have noticed I'm having acne problems and the heat surely isn't helping. I tried eveything, scrubs, masks...nothing worked. And then I tried THIS and after 1 day, 1 DAY, the blemish I had been fighting with for over a week...,G O N E!!! This has made it into the makeup bag i carry in my purse. LUV IT LUV IT LUV IT
Pros: smooth texture, lightweight, absorbs quickly, pleasant fragrance, gentle

Never had breakouts until I hit 45...then the universe got even with me. I have used every acne product on the market and they are made for teens. This is the first product that calms and clears virtually overnight, maybe two. It's immediate coverage acts like a concealer as well. Moisturize with a non-comedogenic product, then dot the powder on with the little brush (included). Doesn't over dry or cake or burn and peel your skin off like most benzoyl or sulfur products on the market - and best of all -- IT DOESN"T BLEACH YOUR TOWELS & SHEETS!!
Pros: smooth texture, lightweight, easy to apply, fast-acting
Cons: funky smell that fades

I'm over 35 and have been having issues with stress breakouts, ie. mostly chin and along jawline.
I was leery when purchasing this product...not expecting miracles...well now I'm throwing out all of my OTC benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid products.
Overnight the size and redness of the blemish dramatically decreased. And we're not talking little blackheads...more like large cystic LOOK-AT-ME zits! I'm now a convert!
This is the only blemish treatment I've ever used that actually works (and works well, too)! I love how the powder is light-weight and is non-drying. I put it on at night after I wash my face and under my foundation in the morning. Blemishes normally decrease in redness and completely go away within a day/night. I recommend this product to everyone I know!
