Colorescience Barrier Pro Essential Moisturizer 39 ingredients
Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation 22 ingredients
Caused cystic acne every time I used it. Contains a highly comedogenic ingredient and more than one ingredient unsuitable for fungal acne. Not the ultra skin-safe foundation that the brand likes to suggest and definitely not worth the extortionate price
