- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Didn’t last forever
My skin improved from cutting out liquid foundations however the results didn’t STICK so I am on a strict strict skincare regimen and started Tazorac cream, will do a different review for Tazorac alone later. However, so far so good on the Tazorac just saying. And I still believe liquid foundation is rubbish. I will wear it for specific events only, wash face as soon as I can.
Also, I still drink coffee, and am stressed as heck because those are two constants in life, I need an acne treatment that can work despite these things lmao.

Beware liquid foundation
I never started acutane, however my skin is much better now.
My skin isn't perfect by any means, but it has improved 90%. The cystic type acne that left scars and marks is gone because I stopped using LIQUID FOUNDATION. Specifically, ANY Dior brand face products, makeup or not, because they all have the same fragrance ingredient that I believe is highly irritating to my skin.
I'm flabbergasted that my skin has improved so much just by eliminating this.
I use powder foundation now, Smashbox Halo. No issues.
I never took Acutane after all, just thought it was worth stating here.
I drink coffee.
Sometimes have sweets.
I eat dairy and gluten.
I am stressed as all hell.
I don't sleep enough.
I hardly drink any water.
I use topical adapalene from time to time.
Stopping liquid foundation is what made the most difference!!

Moving on to Accutane
Topical retinoids, while helping reduce the size and clarity of my pores is not effective enough for my acne. Now, two years later, I am finally starting the process to begin taking Accutane. I will create another review and update there.
