Non-comedogenic & non- astringent make-up

[Sonak]

Does anyone know which make-up are
non-comedogenic & non-astringent? I need to buy some new make as I am using Differin Cream for my acne and this is required. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

hiya i think boots do a non astringent toner so maybe they do makeup too. or you could ask in the bodyshop or in shops like debenhams where most of the beauty consultants are trained for things like that. good luck :D

No make up should be astringent, only cleansers and toners. Avoid stuff like Witch Hazel and any of the over the counter acne brands. They strip skin like nobody's business!

Try a creamy cleanser like Olay Facials Clarify Cleansing Milk which you remove with cotton wool. Rosewater makes a fabulous toner which refreshes and smells lovely! Both of these are really easy on the pocket too! Lush does a great rose and lavender water which I can't remember the name of...sorry!

My advice is to avoid cheap make-up as it can be pretty harsh on the skin. (Although Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse is excellent). A bottle of MAC foundation or the equivalent isn't much more than a L'Oreal one and is much better quality and applies well. I find the cheaper ones cling to spots and make them look more noticeable! I get quite bad break-outs and have very sensitive skin that likes to itch and look irritated...but i find these things definitely keep it under control! (That and always, always taking my make-up off before bed!)
