Anyone else with bad skin find it harder to enjoy makeup?

I have the opposite problem. My skin is really dry and easily irritated, which makes finding a good moisturizer difficult. I had a nasty reaction to chemical sunscreen recently, too, so I've been sticking to the zinc/titanium dioxide ones. I'm kind of afraid to wear foundation right now (weather doesn't help), but mixing a bit of Face and Body keeps it from looking too white.

My friend and I both tried ProActive and it made both of our skin much worse. We even both stuck it out and used it for 90 days. We never turned the corner. It was horrible.

i just started using epiduo, some new acne gel, and my skin has gotten a lot better. i still have some scars, but the gel bleaches them quite effectively. my mom has been breaking out lately too, and she also started using epiduo, and her skin is a lot better as well. for any of those battling with acne, i suggest you try it! it's made me a lot happier when i look in the mirror
