Make-Up Brands that my Derm told me to avoid

Just thought I will let you girls know.....

These are the makeup brands that my dermatologist told me to avoid. I went in for problems with acne and scarring.

- Lancome

- Loreal

- Mary Kay

- Maxfactor

He recommended that Clinique is a good brand.

Do post if your dermatologist told you to avoid/ recommend a certain brand, so all of us can benefit!

The title for this post should be:

*Makeup* brands that my derm told me to avoid. Didn't know how to edit the title.

I don't know about their skincare lines!

wow... thanks for sharing!

I changed the title for you Lavender

This will be an interesting thread, thank you for starting it

I'm going to move this thread to the Make-Up Forum.

Really?I always thought Lancome was a very good brand!Reg Clinique yes i noticed that it was good for my skin when I used it!
I used to get acne whenever I use Lancome foundations which is why I stopped using them!

Thanks for the info!

Wow! Mary Kay? Did he say why in specifically these brands?

Thanks for the info.

I remember a while back that someone mentioned their demo said to avoid MAC cream foundation in the compact (sorry don't know the name). Not sure why.

I hate to rain on a parade..but Clinique dried my skin out and made it look way worse than any of those other brands...

Do you know why she made that recommendation?

I have oily skin and clogged pores due to my oily skin (but not "true" acne, which requires the presence of a certain bacteria), and the only brand that my dermatologist let me wear was Prescriptives. He insisted this was the only brand that was truly noncomedogenic. (And he said any Prescriptives product was okay for my skin.)

Now this was a few years ago before the popularity of mineral makeup, so I don't know what he would think about mineral makeup. But I only wore Prescriptives face makeup for years at his recommendation! (I am using mineral makeup now and my skin looks fine, but the last few years I haven't had as many clogged pores anyway, though it's still very oily.)

great thread! i do think it's trial and error, though, for each person!

Personally, I think that there is always going to be a product that someone has a problem with. The products she listed might actually be fine for someone else. As for Clinique - I have used it, and I don't think it's that great - someone else might think it's wonderful. Unless she has a specific reason to not use these brands, I think everyone else should keep using them if they are working. Just my opinion.

Wow...I'm surprised by this list too. Did your Derm say why? I'm assuming because he/she thinks they clog your pores??

I'd say all of MAC's foundations. They all have comodegenic ingredients and cause skin problems for lots of people, even those with clear skin.

what helps is i really dont use those brands, (except for like a shadow or two).

Maybe it should be said that.. avoid these x-brands if you have this type of skin?

That might help

But i wish I got advice from a dermatologist on make-up hehe. When ever I went with my boyfriend to his appointments in the dermatology office, I always saw mineral make-up ads.

Like alot of people have said, it depends on the person and how your skin reacts to certain products
