are any of these bad for your skin or bad for oily/acne prone skin?

LOL...it's amazing how Maybelline, Revlon, and Covergirl bring out "mineral makeup" and then have the nerve to call it "pure". No, the only products that are "pure" on that ingredient list is glycerine, iron oxides, and titanium dioxides...the rest of the ingredients are unneeded, unhealthy ingredients that not only clog pores...but can make you break out terribly.

Here is my rule of thumb: If the makeup ingredient list says that more than TEN ingredients were used in the powder...it is most likely NOT pure.

If the makeup was found at Wal-Mart or any other store, and is less than $10...than it is most likely NOT pure.

Try sheercover or afterglowcosmetics for REAL mineral makeup...the rest of the crap found in stores (including Bare mineral and Bare escentuals) is not good for your skin, at all.....

I would just go with Cetaphil liquid cleanser ;) I have very sensitive skin, and it reacts well with mine. It's even recommended by most dermatologists. As far as possible irritants from either ingredient list, I read in Paula Begoun's book 'Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me' that sodium laurel (or perhaps it's laureth?) sulfate can be very drying. Citric acid may be a skin irritant as well. Her book is a great and fun read and may be found at local bookstores or even the library. Just call first :) I don't agree with all of her evaluations of the products in her book, but it is quite informative.
