The Neutrogena Healthy Skin pressed powder just changed its formulation, though, and I haven't tried the new version yet. The new one has Titanium Dioxide, and I'm not sure about what the other ingredients are. So at this time I can't say whether or not I would recommend the new version until I try it. I just bought Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, and that one doesn't clog pores, and it's a pretty good pressed powder. Samantha,

I think I found the culprit. I didn't think to check the ingredients on my AHA product...why should I right? After all it states on the back of the product that it's a "non-pore clogging" formula. Anyway I ran out of my Paula's Choice AHA liquid so as back up I started using this other AHA I had bought a few months back which is Neutrogena Acne Stree Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment. I noticed that the 2nd or 3rd ingredient is PEG-8. On your pore clogging ingredient list (which has become my Bible) you list PEG-8 Stearate as a pore clogger with a 3 rating. Are these two ingredients the same? If so, I will be shocked that Neutrogena could be so misleading. I have trusted many of their products in the past. Anyway thanks again for your feedback...

It comes in at #11 in the list of ingredients, so it's not in the Maybelline product in a very large quantity. There's always a chance that it's enough to cause a problem, but it seems pretty doubtful. You could look up the Maybelline makeup on makeupalley.com to see if anyone has issues with it clogging pores. When I first bought the makeup, I checked with makeupalley, and it got good reviews, and since there were no pore cloggers in the first 7-10 ingredients, I felt it was safe for acne prone skin. But it is true that I'm only one person, so unfortunately something that works great for me could be a problem for someone else. Jrzygrl,

In your valuable list of pore clogging ingredients I see that you have Isoparaffin C13-16 listed as a 3. Are these two ingredients different or are they the same and this makeup just isn't clogging your pores but might have potential to clog pores? I'm trying to figure out one product at a time what might be causing my breakouts. Thanks... I noticed that the Maybelline Pure Makeup contains C13-14 Isoparaffin.

That stuff lasts forevvvvvver! Its more expensive than the maybelline eyeshadow from the drugstore, but if you think about it in terms of quality and how long it lasts...its far more economical than a drugstore brand. btw…my ‘everyday’ eyeshadow is a hard candy quad that I’ved had since 2004!!!

Its a primer/clear foundation that is supposed to even out the skin tone. Since my acne is finally gone, I want to work on all the nasty red scars and pit marks. I'm looking in to either dermabrasion or some type of laser treatments, but they are expensive (a couple thousand dollars!) So, in the meantime, I'm looking for a quick makeup-fix. The reviews at Makeup Alley were not too good on this product :( Has anyone ever used Philosophy the present? Its a primer/clear foundation that is supposed to even out the skin tone.
