I have been using bare minerals for quite a while now and I love it, make sure that your face is exfoloiated, moisturized, try oil free moisturizer, then use the bisque it hides any acne,redness and scars, then the foundation, last the mineral veil,and if oil comes back re-apply mineral veil throughout the day, I have heard leslie say bare minerals(escentuals) is non-comodogenic, what works wonders for acne and pore size is rare minerals, you put it on at night before you go to bed, My 3 boys use the clear it works sooo good!! Thats my two cents I hope it helps some--Jennifer
