What's the best face pressed powder for oily, acne prone skin?

Answer 1

Personally I have found (personal use) and know a lot of friends that love Mark-Mattenificent Pressed Powder. It's awesome!

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 3

MAC Blot Powder (Pressed) - this absorbs all the oiliness on your face but has no pigment so it will not even out your skintone. It's best used over a foundation (works really well over MAC Studio Fix) to get the best results.

Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder - this is a really excellent product because the color selection is very good, the quality of the product is outstanding for its price. The coverage is decent enough to even out your skintone and has a silky finish that takes away the shiney look.

Answer 4

Try Lancome you can purchase it at a macy's my girlfriend had the same problem and she thought it was great. I have also used it and it is very good. It is a powder but also you can put a few drops of water on it and it becomes a face makeup. I think it's about $25 or $30 but it's worth it

Answer 5

Mac Powder is the best for shine control. Have you ever thought of switching to loose powder. If you apply it with a fluuffy brush and then blend it in, loose powder has a more natural glow. I like the Cover Girl loose powder in tawny

Answer 6

One I really like is Corn Silk Matte. It's great for oily skin, gives me a nice matte finish, and has never broken me out. It comes in a few colors, or you can get the Translucent. This is the Matte version, not the Original Corn Silk. Nice stuff for the money. You can get it at Walmart, CVS, etc.

Answer 7

I have tried numerous pressed powders, and i found that Clinique has the best oil absorbing powder.

It also goes on evenly and actually helps my skin!

i also have a nice glow, but no oil!!!!!!

hope i helped and good luck!

Answer 8

MAC powder its called studio fix, and is also a cover up so for light makeup days it is perfect,a nd you dont have to wear a foundation, so it helps with acne.

Answer 9

so far i've liked Merle Norman Luxiva Ultima foundation/powder. u wet the sponge and u get really good coverage, and so far i don't feel it has aggravated my skin. i have even repurchased it a few times so i know it works very well. i still have acne, but i am trying to heal it with Cetaphil and Aveeno lotion, occasionally exfoliating w/ baking soda and cetaphil, or dissolved uncoated aspirin masks w/ honey. good luck!
