It contains cornstarch and wax, ingredients to avoid if you're acne prone. Cornstarch is food for acne bacteria and wax will clog your pores.

I've used this product before and I've never broken out, but when I used Biore, i noticed I had white heads on my forehead when I barely had any before. Every skin type is different. You have to test it out and just use this product for 2 weeks and see if the same this happens on your skin. Try to use Biore before you use this product and then two weeks after. I stopped using it after that.

I have combo skin. I had used Dr.Feelgood a few years back. The first month that I used it, it made my skin look flawless. However, after I used up the product and purchased a new one I majorly broke out. I don't know why that happened, but it did. I would still absolutely recommend this product though I mean it probably depends on your skin. If you find that you're also breaking out fyi, I'm currently using Smashbox's primer in green to minimize redness and blotches.

It probably will because it clogs pores and feels very greasy and heavy on the skin.

products are different for everyone's skin. Generally, when trying something new your skin needs an adjustment period that is anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. if you continue to have trouble after that period stop the use of the product.

Dr. Feelgood is actually perfect for oily/acne-prone skin types though because it mattifies and stops oil in its tracks. if you have an oily t-zone this could actually help prevent break-outs. You should always listen to your own skin though- and remember a little goes a long way with this- if you do break out you might be using too much.

I love this product but it made me breakout. I have tried it on several different occasions and used it for several weeks but I breakout in places that I never break out! I am finally giving up with it, I cannot take any more spots!!

Some products make others break out and others do not. Keep in mind that when you try a NEW face wash, and/or makeup and/or mositurizer (or anything for your face) your skin is trying to get usto the NEW ingredients and you could suffer from minor breakouts for a while. But if the product helps otherwise for you then STICK IT OUT and wash that pretty face really well BEFORE bedtime and use benzoyl peroxide to banish dirt or impurties to PREVENT blackheads. Good luck!!

So did I. It does not bother me at all!

Please, avoid using this if you have acne prone skin. There are so many products that work wonders besides this. Start with a really effective moisturizer that addresses your acne or combination/oily skin. I've tried Murad, Peter Thomas Roth also has a great line as well. And let your skin breathe, use lightweight primers, Laura Mercier oil-free is a good one. The Bare Essentuals line Prime Time works great too. It contains silica which is a natural mineral that absorbs and controls shine.

No, if you gentle massage it into your skin it absorbs quickly.

If you wash the sponge after every couple uses it should help with this, also only use a small amount

Yes it will roll into balls and flake off if you're not completely moisturized. So pile on the face lotion, give it a couple minutes to soak in and then you shouldn't have that problem.

this product can easily clump, flake, roll during the application process.

It doesn't flake at all ... that's the good thing about it

this product always leaves little bits behind. i don't bother using it anymore. i gave it a few tries and have given up on it completely...

I do not use it all over my face - just as spot treatment. I have found that if you use too much it will turn into small clumps. I use my finger tip and make sure that the product is warmed up. Once you put it on smoothly, leave it alone - just like anything else.

I use it under. I apply it, then put on my eyeliner while it sets and dries completely, then apply my foundation or face powder. It mattifies the heck out of your face and leaves it super smooth, so it's the perfect canvas for foundation.

I've used this over and under make up and alone. It leaves skin with a velvety look with nothing. I've also used this both under and over tinted primer and tinted moisturizer. This seems to be one of those products that no matter how you use it, it's going to look great. I love it.

It's funny that everyone has a different experience with this. I find that if i apply it under foundation, the foundation wont go on evenly. However, blotted over foundation (note blotted, not spread) and under powder, it works GREAT. It's also great to blot over powder on your shiny areas. Used with benefit powder, it keeps my oily skin looking nice and my make up in place all day (without emphasizing my fine lines)....amazing stuff.

The directions say you can apply it under or over foundation, but if you apply it over foundation, it rubs off your makeup so I'd recommend wearing it under foundation.

Do you apply this over or under foundation/powder?
You can use this product under or over foundation powder. It will reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines, and will give you a smooth, silky, matte complexion. It’s also great for touch-ups throughout the day to reduce the appearance of shine.

I also have oily areas on my face and while it didn't fully keep shine from coming through I did notice a difference. And no it will not clog your pores.

It will help with the oily skin, but so far my pores look about the same. I do have a dewy finish as opposed to my usual shininess.

Though I wouldn't consider this a moisturizer at all (you'd need to moisturize prior to using Dr. Feelgood), in my experience, it does handle greasy spots quite well. You have to wait a few seconds, but you will see a matte look appear where you once had grease. For example, I use vitamin E oil around my eyes, as they are very sensitive to almost any moisturizer, so when I put on makeup, my eye area (specifically between my lower lid and that ridge below the eye but above your cheekbone - I tried to look up the proper anatomical term for 'eye socket bone' but got completely confused) needs to be mattified... Dr. Feelgood works wonderfully to absorbe the oil and vitamin E oil is particularly greasy. In terms of pores, my annoyingly large chin pores have been dramatically reduced while using the product. As far as clogging them, it hasn't been a problem for me, though I exfoliate (with the help of one of those rotary toothbrushes w/ very soft bristles they sell for kids) and cleanse every morning. Hope that helps!

This is not moisturizing at all in fact, it feels kind of dry. It's not good for oily skin because it fills in your pores and looks tacky.

i have very oily skin and large pores, and i have been using this product for almost 2 years now. and i absolutely LOVE it! i can def tell a difference when Im not wearing it, which is not often. I apply it under my makeup and it gives me a matt finish. It completly minimizes my pores. I still get a little oily but it def helps a lot. I would recommend everyone try this product at least once

Well it is hard to explain cuz its such a unique product, it feels like a non greasy petrolium jelly...once rubed in the skin it feels silky and it mattifies the sking.hope that helps

Its kind of like hair wax- that you get in a tin. It sounds strange, but it hasn't clogged my pores and it doesn't feel strange on my skin. Like the description says, it does seem velvety once on the skin.

creamy but not oily.

waxy/greasy...

I know some people have said it feels waxy to them. I disagree strongly. Although it might look waxy in the container, if you're actually using it, it feels more silky-velvety. It's hard to describe it, but I find it awesome. The results are unreal.

does not clog pores

I haven't noticed it clogging pores. My skin feels more hydrated after using it.

To me it does cloge my pores if I don't take it off, but if you take it off at night, and use a face scrub, you will be good to go for the next day.

Despite loving Benefit products, this wasn't good for me =(
I broke out under my chin. I switched to Smashbox and haven't had a problem.

don't know if it is comedogenic, but i get breakouts from it.

Yes, it does. It fills in the pores before or after your make up routine. It works the best in my t-zone, nose and chin. I feel it also blends in your make up really well if you apply it with a kabuki brush! another plus is at the same time it mattifies your skin!

Yes, It definitely does. You can also layer it if you feel like the first application didn't do the trick enough. Its best used under a powder or something

Yes it does reduce the size of pores and fine lines

nope!

Definately

i would not know, i returned mine quite quickly ... so... not long?

This is the LAST step,lasts forever because you only spot touch shiny areas with fingertips.Don't use spong they provide it will take off too much of your make-up.This is not a primer.

i think that the tin will last a long time because you don't have to use too much. plus becuase it is a solid, there are no spills or taking too much out of the bottle by mistake!

i don't use it much, but there's more than it seems in the little tin. i would say, even with frequent use this product would last a long time...

A little seems to go a long way!

I think the trick is keeping the sponge clean. Wash it and let it air dry after use, and keep it in the tin with the product. This keeps mine pretty clean.

I don't use the sponge it came with, I bought a pack of those triangle sponges from wal-greens for like two bucks. It's easier to use as well.

It's sort of hard to keep it clean, sad to say. I wash my sponge every night then replace it by the end of the week.

Use a disposable sponge or in my case, I just use a stipple brush to apply and it works great! Hope that helps.

I wipe down the sponge after I use it to remove the excess and anything else that got on it; however, I never feel that it is really that clean looking. It gets a little messy.

Try The Present by Philosophy. It is amazing.

I also have acne prone skin, and I have been using Dr. Feelgood for over a year now, with no problems ever. I think it's actually helping my skin!! It's greatly decreased the size of my pores on my cheeks and nose, and I have less break outs.
I would give it a try!!... Return it to Sephora if you don't like it. But I think it's worth trying. I use it every day, with my Philosophy On A Clear Day Moisturizer (which I'm LOVING!! because I have oily skin, and this helps!), and Benefit "Hello Flawless" foundation. I'm loving the foundation! With these 3 items, I have near flawless skin for the first time in my life!

If you apply this correctly it's wonderful!! Use a sponge to apply a small amount, and dab, don't rub. Also, change the sponge after a while. great product!!!

I don't think so because it clogs my pores and feels very heavy and greasy on the skin.

I would have to agree with you. If you must use a primer, go with Korres Face Primer. It's natural and organic. It helps minimize pores. Ask for a sample from a Sephora consultant, and try it out on your skin for a few days before purchasing. Hopefully it works!
