Has anyone with acne/scars/bad skin used EX1 Cosmetics foundation or concealer?

I saw this recommended by a dermatologist as being non-comodogenic - I just wondered if anyone had used it?

Seems a reasonable price.

I bought it and it was orange. Day glo orange. I wouldn’t recommend.

It cosmetics cc cream is better.

I have several shades and no orange tones in any of them. Buildable coverage and stays put.

Thanks Fireman that’s really useful. I’d heard of CC before but have never tried it. I think there’s a bar in my local Boots, I will have a look.

I don’t have scars or marks but I do have dark olive skin and I really like Ex1. It was developed by an Asian woman specifically for warmer/olive skin tones so it may well look ‘orange’ on caucasian or more neutral/cool skin tones.

Conversely IT cosmetics CC cream looks grey on my skin as the all the ‘tan/dark’ shades have totally the wrong undertones. Hmm

I would go along and get a few sample pots and try them out on different days. Estée Lauder Double wear has full coverage and they use those little devices to give exact shade matching.
