It turns out that my foundation (L’Oreal Paris) has been on the Environmental Working Group (EWG) list of least toxic makeup all along! Nasty Ingredients in Some Makeup And I just went to the drugstore to buy inexpensive foundation that I knew worked well and cost less. It got to the point that I stopped trying to use anything natural or organic. And then I spend a month waiting for the cystic acne to heal. In truth, the more natural the ingredients are, the worse my skin behaves. Can you relate?įYI: Here’s how I got rid of my cystic acne with the proper face wash (but I still can’t irritate my skin with foundation that has nasty ingredients).Įvery time I try another foundation that promises to be natural, non comedogenic or made with organic ingredients, my skin breaks out. My sensitive skin breaks out in painful cystic acne whenever I upset it with a product that it doesn’t like. I have spent years (actually a couple of decades) fighting with my skin and my desire to use non-toxic makeup. The Struggle to Find the Top Drugstore Foundations So when I found that these top drugstore foundations weren’t full of nasty chemicals and were more affordable, I think I jumped for joy.

While I’ve tried using all natural and super expensive foundations, those actually have created MORE problems with my sensitive skin.

I have had such a hard time finding a foundation that doesn’t make my acne prone skin breakout.
