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!!

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, I have slightly acne prone skin and Dr. Feelgood never gave me breakouts. It is a mattifying balm so I would think it would help reduce the oiliness of your skin. Just be sure to change the application sponge once and awhile and you should be fine.

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 was told you can apply it either under or over your makeup. though, i've noticed applying it over your makeup just turns into a mess. if you're going to use it at all (it didn't work for me) it's best to use it alone or under your makeup.

This product can be used over or under makeup or alone. It seems to perfect the complexion. I've used it with primer, by itself, mixed with primer, mixed with tinted moisturizer, under primer, over it - it's fun to fool around with it and see what works best. It also seems to act like a magnet for powders, helping them achieve a perfect application. I love this...(It lasts a very long time, too).

Not only does this give your skin a dewy-matte look it helps reduce your pores and fine lines. I love it so much because my skin feels so soft and smooth and really makes my skin healthier after using this for a while. I usually wear this with make-up but when i had a break out one day i just wore this and my skin honestly looked good still. The pores on my face were less noticeable and also my t-zone was not oily or shiney looking at all! Dr. Feelgood does what is says.

Some people were writing that this is a primer. No, actually, it's not. It is a mattifying face balm that takes away the look of oily skin and is supposed to make skin seem smoother. (I tried this and didn't like it. I recommend Dr. Brandt's Pore Effect.)

Question
Is Dr. Feelgood ok to use on acne prone skin?
I have always had good skin but I am about to turn 25 yrs old and for the past six months for the first time in my life I am experiencing acne. I guess it would be considered adult acne. I was using smash box primer but Im pretty sure that was not helping so now I'm searching for a primer thats ok to use on acne prone skin and was considering Dr. Feelgood. Would you recommend it? Also I have been told to only use non comedogenic products, is there such a thing as a non comedogenic primer?

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!

It's not really a primer, but I have teen acne and I use the Smashbox Primer and it doesn't make me break out. Neither does the Dr. Feelgood.
It's more meant to be worn over your makeup to mattify anything shiny.

Not really works too well as a primer. You can test it out but for me it messed up my makeup application - really got in the way of a smooth application I think because of the waxy like consistency. I just stick with blotting on those oily T zone areas lightly post makeup application (try not to wipe of your makeup though) OR I jsut use it SOLO or sometimes to fill in those large pores on my inner cheeky apples. Just be careful when applying your moist/foundation!

Yes because this product really is colorless!!! A lot of us have found that it really clears up the oily T zone areas and fills in fine lines and large pores. Careful if you want to use before makeup application and AFTER. This has a creamy consistency that feels slightly waxey and powdery after application. Hence - that it soaks up those oils!!! Great for all skin tones!!

Yes, it's a clear "balm" and has no color whatsoever. It just mattifies and evens out your complexion, like a translucent powder.

I think it would help to minimize or soften their appearance, but not completely cover the. I think you should use a good concealer for that.

Will this help my oily skin?
I have oily skin and I want a moisturizer that will help my skin in the summer, even if I don't wear make up with it. If I do wear this will it really reduce the appearance of pores? And will it clog them more? Will it really work?

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

I'm not sure if it is non-comedogenic or not, but I have not had any issues with it and I have sensitive skin. On the one hand it conceals your pores, which may not be the best thing if you have recurring acne. On the other hand, since it does matt the skin, I will assume there are no oily clogging ingredients that would contribute to break outs. As with any product, I think the results may vary from person to person.

Hi

I think this seems to fill in any imperfections. Depending on the size of the pores, it might fill them in totally, or perhaps just reduce them. It seems to make my skill look velvety soft, almost like baby skin. I love this product.
