Looking for Answers about bareMinerals Purifying Facial Cleanser?

I use the purifying facial cleanser and I have combination skin. It is amazing, my skin feels clean and fresh all day.

I work for BE :) and Ive noticed that its all about the texture you prefer. If you like a lotion type, if you like a deeper foam, or a dry formula you add water to. Its really in your hands and up to you :)

Try ole heneriksin products if your not happy with bm

I would really reccommend the Lumionous Duo for combination skin. It comes with supposdly a one month supply but it will actually last you three months! It comes with a facial cleanser and a moisturizor desgined for combination skin. I personally have used it and it is amazing!

I was told in the store that they are all safe for acne-prone skin but I would recommend the purifying facial cleanser. This is the lightest and most simple of all the three washes. The deep cleansing wash could potentially break you out because of the gunk that it is pulling out. I personally have never tried the exfoliating treatment because of how sensitive my skin is.

I have combination skin and I have had great experiences with the Purifying Facial Cleanser and the Purely Nourishing Moisturizer: Combination Skin. Good luck!!

I have combination skin and I use the purifying cleanser at night (it seems to get the makeup off better than the exfoliating cleanser) and then I use the exfoliating cleanser each morning.

I use the Purifying Cleanser and I just love it. It cleans without drying and really tightens your pores. I do not have oily shine midday like I used to either! You will love it :)

I too have combination skin and I've been ultra pleased with the Skincare Purifying Facial Cleanser. It doesn't make my dry patches dryer, keeps the oily ones in check, and best of all, when I get a pimple, this stuff clears it up in a couple of days. My skin hasn't been this totally clear in a long time. I'm not very prone to acne, but I do get my share of little bumps and occasional pimples. Another thing I like about this cleanser is how little you use. One or two pumps is it (it doesn't look like much in the palm of your hand). Twenty dollars was a lot for me to spend on a cleanser, but so little is used it'll last for quite a while, I think. I've been using the whole skincare line for about a month and I'm very pleased with all of it. The dry skin moisturizer is fantastic (even though my skin is only dry in patches). The eye cream is also perfection. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I have really oily skin and it is very prone to acne as well. I use the purifying facial cleanser for my face, back, and chest. Works like a charm :)
I wouldnt be happier with this product, it doesnt over dry you skin, doesnt call excess oil production, its just perfect. I think you would love the purifying :)

No, it does not irritate acne prone skin.

Absolutely not. This cleanser is great. I have acne prone skin and it really helps make my skin feel smooth and clean at night.

I have very sensitive skin that usually breaks out with new facial cleansers... since I started using this, I have had no major breakouts and my skin seems much clearer.

NO, actually it will help reduce your acne. I am very acne prone, and my skin looks amazing after one week of use. It has changed my life. It has diminished my acne greatly and with NO scars left behind. Just young, healthy, vibrant, smooth skin! You have to try it!

Blaire, I'm the same way... I was using this one product with harsh chemicals thinking that it would clear up my skin. Boy I was wrong. The oils in these products are all natural oils, so you're putting good stuff into your skin, not the harsh stuff. Ever since I started using the Purifying Facial Cleanser and the Purely Nourishing Moisturizer i have not seen one blemish or break out.

I am not sure what product you are specifically asking about. I am very prone to break outs. I love the night time powder. It will shrink your pores and help with break outs. I know it is pricey, but if you are acne prone try it. For about a week my skin seemed like it was getting worse, maybe hormonal, but after that week it was better, give it a month and wow the difference. I also really love the blemish treatment. Comes with a great little brush that is a multi-tasker. I use it for bisque too. I like to use the blemish treatment in my t-zone to control oil. It also works great as a spot treatment. The combination moisturizer made me break out and an oil slick before lunch. I think it is more for those with normal skin or combination skin leaning toward dry skin. I do not recommend it for acne prone skin. Oily skin I would say try it, but not acne prone. The cleanser to try is not the purifying or exfoliating but the foaming or deep cleansing one. I have not tried it yet. I would tell you the cleanser I found and love, but they won't post this if I do:( Happy hunting!

i don't feel as if it does, i would highly recommend the skin care though its incredibly gentle and the moisturizer is water based!

YES GREAT CLEANSER IT REMOVES ALL WITH OUT STINGING

No, unfortunatly it will not remove water proof make up. But it does a great job with just the regular mascara and eyeliner!

Yes, it can remove all trace of makeup upon your face.

Yes. This particular cleanser takes off all makeup. It makes my skin feel so much softer than any other cleanser that I've used. My face also feels incredibly clean.

I've found that the cleanser WILL remove makeup (waterproof as well) as long as you make a conscious effort to remove it while cleansing. One of the nice things about it is that it is pretty gentle on your eyes, so it's not difficult to scrub around the eye area.

It will remove it all. It does not burn the eyes at all either.

It has avocado oil and a combination of other oils.

This cleanser is mild. I have sensitive skin and havent had a problem. Breakouts have lessened since I started using this cleanser.

I don't know about oil free, but this cleanser is not rich at all. It is almost watery. I use 2 pumps at night and one pump in the morning. If you were to use an eyedropper, there are probably 5-8 drops in one pump. It does a great job on my combination skin. I'd give it a try if I were you!

This deep cleansing foam has been great for my skin. Hasn't dried out the dry patches, but hasn't caused my skin to break out either. My acne is so sensitive to any kind of change, and I KNOW I would have broken out by now. Not even the slightest indication of a cyst or a breakout.

Yes, this is oil free and safe for Acne-Prone Skin

I have sensitive, combination skin. I find this cleanser to be just the right combination. I have experienced a drastic reduction in breakouts in the last month since using this product, and my dry areas have also improved greatly!! I also use the Purely Nourishing Moisturizer for combination skin, and I absolutely love it as well! It's a great product line for my skin, and hopefully for yours also!!

It will absolutely NOT make your skin worse. I have acne prone skin too.. it's so gentle that it wont aggravate or irritate your skin. It really is fabulous! Try it; you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely not! That was my problem too! It thoroughly cleanses which improves the problem GREATLY!

It will not make it worse at all. It will make it so much better! Give it a try!

its only been 4 days my ance is still there for a noticeable change I'll have to use the product at least 3 to 4 weeks.. In my opinion..

I have very acne prone skin as well, deep cystic acne along my chin. The deep cleansing foam surprised me by not agitating my skin in the least. My skin actually looks BETTER, and no breakouts. I'm a believer!

There is face wash that is designed to be used with water and a separate moisturizer.

All of the cleansers in BE line require water. If you don't like cleansers that require water, then you likely won't like this line.

The purifying face wash is to be rinsed with water. You may want to try the exfoliating face wash that you can just wipe off. I think their makeup products have so much sun protection that I do not mind using a lotion that doesn't...just my opinion on it though.

The cleansers are to be used with warm water, just to activate all the amazing ingredients that penetrate into your skin - rather than wiping it off. The moisturizer and cream do not have SPF in them, because if you are using the Mineral Foundation you are getting your SPF 15 or the Mineral Veil - SPF 25.

I use this with my Clarisonic and love it!!

Def get the Clarisonic it makes a HUGE difference..

I have not personally used it with a Clarisonic but know that it does pair well with that system. I debated buying one in Sephora and they recommended the BM to use with it.

This does not compare at all. Clinique always gave me that 'squeaky clean' feeling and I hated it. Bare Minerals face was was very light and fresh without making me feel like my skin had been stripped.

I switched from Clinique to Bare Minerals and have been very happy. There is not a toner in the Bare Minerals process so that "clean" feeling one gets from the toner is not there. But to me, that also felt unnatural.

I don't think anything can compare to the bare escentuals skin care. The Purifying Facial Cleanser is my favorite one or two small pumps removes all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized. The moisturizers are wonderful I use them based on the time of year. I use Purely Nourishing Normal to Dry in summer and the Purely Nourishing Cream in the winter when I am a bit dryer.

The purifying cleanser is a light fresh gel. The deep cleansing foam is similar but its more creamy and it has a high foam to it as you clean.

The Purifying Cleanser is a basic all purpose daily cleanser with a mild amount of lather. The Deep Cleansing Foam is a heavier cleanser that penetrates further into the skin to wash away impurities and has a richer, foamier lather. I use the Purifying in the AM, and the Deep Cleansing Foam in the shower in the PM. I have very sensitive skin, and most deep cleansers are too harsh, but I use the BE Deep Cleansing Foam pretty much every day and my skin feels (and looks) great!

The purifying facial cleanser cleans your face and great for the facial make up. It does need the help of an eyemakeup remover.. It seems to clean with out adding oil and it does not strip your skin either. I tend to get acne at certain times of the month and I have not had any problem using this cleanser.
