I had just spent the last month trying to clear up a crop of zits on my nose and chin and I wore my Present no color makeup last week and guess what? Yep, my nose has 4 huge zits on it. What is in makeup that makes me break out so fast? I am using Pro Active products still as they worked great....I need something to cover redness.

It has a few cones and a few parabens -- maybe one or more are the culprits?

Re: Philosophy's The Present

lavender oil, geraniol, limonene and linalool can also cause irritation and breakouts

Re: Philosophy's The Present

I use The Present all the time. I never have a problem with it. Isn't the Present the same thing as On a Clear Day? That is what I was told at one time when The Present disappeared for a while. Now Laura Geller's Spackle breaks me out. It gives me that horrible cystic acne.
