Acne Magazine : Skin Care, Tips, Treatment Reviews

Well, I had promised to keep you posted on my newly purchased everyday moisturizer, the very popular Aveeno Positively Radiant lotion for the face with SPF 15 in it.  I really liked the fact that this particular lotion was expressly made for both improved skin tone and clarity as well as additional protection from the sun’s damaging rays. 

I get a little bit of sun protection from my Bare Minerals makeup, but after I found out that powder SPF may not be so effective, I decided I wanted additional protection in my daily moisturizing lotion.  I also found out that with Bare Minerals, your Mineral Veil does not contain any SPF, only the actual colored foundation, and since I use way more Mineral Veil than I do the actual foundation color, I figured I needed additional SPF quickly, because I wasn’t getting the kind of sun protection factor that I thought I was when I initially started using the foundation.  Don’t get me wrong, I still like the Bare Minerals, but I need something a  little more.

Anyways, didn’t mean to get off on a tangent like that, so back to my original point now.  I purchased the Aveeno Positively Radiant daily moisturizer, and was a little leery, as I always am of new moisturizers on my skin, that it might do more harm than good and cause me to break out, especially because it has SPF in it, and many times any type of SPF will make my skin break out faster than you can snap your fingers.

It’s been about 4 weeks now that I’ve been using the moisturizer, and so far so good, I haven’t had any breakouts or even an increase in bumpiness on my chin as I many times do when my skin gets irritated.  I can’t say it would be noncomedogenic for everyone, but it appears to work pretty well on my personally acne prone skin.
