I use Bobbi Brown heavy duty moisture at night only now. I am 54 and do still break out so I don't believe I would be considered to have dry or oily skin-I would categorize it as combination. Every day I start with my BobbiBrown serum, some days I will put a small amount of the lighter daytime moisturizer on before DrJart+ but usually do not.

I wear a moisturizing serum (Kate Somerville Quench) underneath and find that does the trick for me. I've also mixed the BB gel in my hand with a touch of my Clinique extended thirst relief and my MUFE HD liquid foundation.

It is somewhat moisturizing, you could wear one under if you wanted, but I recommend only on places where you are dry, not your whole face.

I had a clean face prior to using this and I think the lack of water in my product made it so thick and greasy, I actually broke out all over my temples and I never ever break out there!

answer 4

I prefer to go ahead with my normal skin care routine prior to applying the BB creme. I still apply my acne treatments first, serum, and light moisturizer. Adjust accordingly to the time of the year (I change my moisturizer each season to adjust to the amount of moisture needed for my skin); and so on... Always set the cream with a setting powder to avoid any movement of the product.
Moisturizer and primer is a personal preference before the BB cream.

I serum and moisturize with Bobbi Brown (at night) and still use my Pro-Active cleanser and Repairing lotion on occasion but I have noticed that since I started using this product I am using my ProActiv stuff less and less. I am 54 and you would think I would be beyond the "breakout years" but until very recently have still been struggling with it. I am crossing fingers that DrJart+ is part of the formula that is finally going to help me clear my skin!

answer 6

While everyone's idea of "acne prone" sort of differs, I will say that this BB hasn't caused me to have any breakouts and my skin hasn't been irritated.
As for wearing it over spots where I have had a breakout, it covers OK, but I usually go back over any extra red areas with concealer.
I've used this BB with and without a moisturizer (before applying the BB) and as far as my skin goes, I prefer the application of the BB without using a moisturizer. But when using with a moisturizer, I would advise waiting a few minutes between applying your moisturizer and the BB, so that the moisturizer has time to be absorbed by your skin.

I tend to break out, but this product didn't make anything worse. In fact it covered things up nicely without settling in my acnes "scabs" (gross, sorry :/) and it covered the redness as well. I dont think you need a moisturizer with it because it is hydrating.

Question

Smart gel as moist as regular water fuse?

Is the Dr. Jart water fuse smart gel bb cream as moisturizing as the regular original water fuse? The ingredients in the smart gel does not contain hyaluronic acid so I'm concerned it won't be as moisturizing.

This has a good amount of Hyuronic Acid in it, so you wont need a moisturizer. The consistency is gel like, like a primer, I wouldn't use a primer. That's what originally attracted me to this product. No need to moisturize or use a primer. But again, it clogged my pore really fast.

If you are using a primer to even out color, this does a pretty good job. If you are using a primer to help conceal, it might not do the complete job, but you could use some spot concealer or primer.

I wouldn't say it's necessary but if you like using primer before foundation, I'd say do the same before applying this BB cream. It'll extend wear and smooth out skin all the same before foundation/BB application.

You could wear a light one underneath. It is moisturizing, but I would recommend wearing some moisturizer on your dry patches. I tend to be dry around my nose and between my eyebrows, and I don't have to wear one most days. Depends on if I'm looking a little flaky.

Not At All.
You do not need any strong make-up remover to get it off your face.
The water and light soap will definitely do
When you sweat, you will experience the BB gel diluted in the drops of the sweat coming down along my neck and possibly down to your clothing.

Question

what color and under tone?

Hi I am n40 in cover fx cover cream, I like using bb cream as a day time do it all because I am a fit instructor and as a primer under my foundation when I'm going out. The last one I got was to sheer to use on it's own so I've been layering foundation over it. On good days just where I really need it. Was wondering about the coverage but even more about the under tone and which color would be best for me? Always surprised when A sales person matches me up to a medium foundation color but n40 is medium with neutral undertones but it does work! I am a bit more of a yellow undertone than a pink, in fact don't think there is any pink in my skin. I think the second color would be to dark, but I've been wrong. So what would be the best match to coverfx cover cream n40?
