I get random zits on my t-zone. They will last a couple of weeks despite having tried various products to reduce/get rid of them. I use this at night when I feel one emerging and it either doesn't show up or it goes away. I also use it as a cover up (much less now that I've been using it a few weeks). MUCH better than concealer. No cakey look after awhile. It's perfect. Erases the zit/redness away. It's AMAZING. And contrary to some other reviews, I haven't noticed a smell at all. It's not flowery and pleasant--it's just nothing. One of the best products I've purchased.

I had relatively clear skin growing up and at about 25 I started having more than the occasional pimple. I started having deep pimples that hung around for months and my t-zone always had a few small breakouts. I have dry skin and normal products would cause a lot of flakes with minimal reduction in acne. An ulta employee recommended this and I decided to give it a try despite the high price since none of the cheap stuff had worked. I have been using it twice a day on my t-zone for about 7 months and expect to get at least another month or more out of it. I have not had a pimple on my nose for 6 1/2 months and I used to always get pimples on the sides of my nose. It has drastically reduced the frequency on my chin and forehead. Best of all it doesn't dry my skin out! I use it after I wash my face or shower. It gives very slight coverage, not enough for me with my redness.

I have used this both at bedtime to help treat blemishes while I sleep and also in the morning before and after applying my makeup to help conceal and treat blemishes during the day. I found the powder to be easy to apply with the included brush. The smell wasn't that strong and didn't bother me at all. I would highly recommend this for people looking for a non-drying, non-messy treatment for blemishes that also conceals.

I apply every time i have a blemish in the morning before I workout. Keeps my face clearer and I'm not as self conscience about my skin at the gym. Then I apply after showering and moisturizing. If I have a big blemish I apply it several times throughout the day. That seems to make the blemishes go away faster.

I have very sensitive skin (eczema, hives, etc.) and was hoping to have found something to use for my constant blemishes. I love that this conceals and heals at the same time but found that it does not conceal as well as a concealer. I use it before bed as well as in the morning. While I do believe it works (slowly), it does also dry out my skin. This may not be a problem for people who do not already have dry skin. Because my blemishes are grouped in certain areas, I swiped the entire area to later find skin peeling in that area. Even with extra moisturizer, I peel.

So, this does help blemishes a bit but its drying. I've found salicylic acid from elm bark and tea tree to work about the same or better but the pro here is that it conceals and is easy to use with makeup.

I have been using BE since the product came out the market. I love the foundation. Just recently bought the blemish therapy. So far so good, but cost too much for such a little container.

This is a great product for minor blemishes and breakouts- if you have severe acne see a dermatologist. It can be brushed right on to your blemish and applied below or on top of make-up- I do both. It is sheer but if you want you can layer it on or put a lot on your brush to put on- I do this at night if I am not applying any make-up over it. It is great for sensitive skin and the only negative is it does not smell great- but any blemish or acne products that work rarely do!

I've had trouble skin my whole life and I'm about to turn 30 and I was like what the heck I will try it. I've tried everything out there-Proactiv,philosophy,murad, dermalogica and so on. This was out of my price range but so worth it. I put in on before I went to bed and the next morning I could see a difference already. It blew me away and I'm going to use this from now on.

I am a long time user of many Bare Minerals prodcuts but is the first time I have used the Blemish Therapy... like very much. Great for specific blemishes or prevention in a prone area. Use very little so will go far. Only con is the smell... active ingredient of sulfur has a distinct odor so I have been opting to use at bedtime but the results are great!

I have been using this product now for a little over a week, there isn't much indication of how to use the brush but I guess it comes with trying it. I do think that it has resolved some of my pimples but I can't tell test if it is helping with blackheads. There is some degree of coverage and it seems to leave me with a slightly airbrushed look. I saw reviews about it smelling bad... There is a slight sulfur odor but it really isn't bad, barely noticeable when trying to smell it... I am happy with the purchase and think that it should last for a while despite using on a decent amount of my face and sometimes chest.
