Great makeup
7/11/2007 - Jessica of California, USA writes:
I think this makeup is great. I really like how natural it looks, and I don't need to use powder over it. It covers up my blemishes and looks fantastic and it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing much at all.
Disaster

Does not cover up blemishes and blotches/illuminates wrinkles, defines and enhances lines and wrinkles/waste of time and money
Loving this
6/13/2007 - Jenny of New York, USA writes:
A friend of mine gave me a bottle of this makeup to try, and I have to say that I am loving it. It feels great on my skin and makes me look very even-toned. It's not overly heavy and not oily, which is a problem I've had in the past. I just use a little bit where it's needed and I'm all set for the day. I haven't tried the skin care, but I'm very pleased with the foundation.
Great makeup

I have vitiligo, a skin condition that makes my skin look very uneven. This is the only makeup i've ever used that realy covers up my problem. Plus, I live in Florida and this makeup doesn't sweat off my face in the heat. It has a finish that I love, and it doesn't look like I have on too much makeup. The face wash is okay. I love the toner. I need a heavier moisturizer at night. but i love the foundation.
Love it!

I'm a CA based makeup artist and I recently added Dermacia to my kit. This makeup is absolutely perfect for daily wear as well as for photography and film makeup. The fact that it's sweat proof really sold me. I wear it every day, but I don't use the company's foundation brush. I don't know why people are saying it's cakey; just be sure to moisturize your skin before you apply it with a sponge and you're set. The fact that it lasts all day under hot lights saves me from touching up my clients all the time. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this makeup. It's honestly better than any other high-end makeup I've ever used.
On of the best foundations
5/20/2007 - Ann of Maryland, USA writes:
I formerly sold cosmetics and have used nearly all the high end make up lines. This water based foundation has very good coverage without being heavy. As with any foundation, unless your skin is exfoliated and moisturized, no foundation will look good. I use this product with my own moisturizer and use loose powder to finish. Having oily skin using this foundation without powder was not satisfactory (always true no matter what the product). I did not like and do not use the spray moisturizer. I like this foundation more than any line I have found in several years. Customer services has been responsive to my requests as well.
I thought I would be returning it...

I purchased this product and THEN read reviews on it. Smart, I know! So when I read a lot of really bad reviews I was already expecting to be disappointed and return it when it arrived. Well it did take about 2 weeks to arrive, and the first time I tried it I thought that it was really very thin and want going to give me the coverage I needed. I wasn't used to liquid foundations. I need maximum coverage so I have always used creams and mousses that made my face feel heavy. This was super thin and it looked like it was leaving streaks on my face in a color that was WAY too light for me. I kept going with it anyway, applying and blending with a brush. It applied like it was too light and streaky but when I was done and it dried, it didn't leave streaks at all. This took maybe 3 minutes total. I tried the rub off test with a white wash cloth... nothing came off. It held true to its word. I tried the water test... also held true, it stayed on. I went out for 8 hours in the car and sun all day and by the time I got back it still looked great. I just needed a little oil blot and it was like I had just applied it. I have SUPER oily skin AND live in Florida so I always look like I just cooked bacon on my face. For me to just do a quick oil blot with a tissue, it’s a BIG deal. The next day I wore it to work. I work with a bunch of fashion paranoid women and when they commented on how great and flawless my skin looked with out me telling them about my new foundation... I was sold. The only down fall on this product is the price but when you really think of it, $100 every three months is $33 a month. That’s $1.11 a day. I have to think that the women that weren't happy with this product, that it was because they did not know how to apply it properly. It’s best when applied with a really good quality foundation brush. I personally don't like the brush it came with because its too small, so I use a different one, but the foundation itself does what they claim it to do. I really don’t bother with the toner and the moisturizer because I’m oily, I don’t need to moisturize but the wash is decent. I wish you didn’t have to buy the whole kit but over all, I am really quite please with this product.
They'll get their full $99.98 +

Ordered the product. Recieved the make-up plus the cleaner, toner, and mositerizer. Called to change order to make-up only. Tried the product and it is thick coverage like stage make-up. Great for Tweens who want to look 10 years older. It drys too quick and does not stay on all day. You get a better make-up for acne coverage from Revlon Color Stay for $12. The toner is like water and the lotion is like mineral oil. Soap is not to hot either. Seems like handsoap. NO ingerdeance lists. Seriously dought Heidi uses this product daily. Called to get the return # and mailed it. Given a hazzle that they never recieved the package. The customer services stinks as well. Had to get my credit card to help to get my $ back. So much for ording off the TV.
Dermacia
5/13/2007 - Brenda of Michigan, USA writes:
I started using this product two months ago. I love it. The cleanser is wonderful. It removes all traces of makeup from your face. The toner is fine. The spray moisturizer isn't very good for dry skin. So, I still use my regular moisturizer. I do use the spray moisturizer on top of the makuup as a refresher later in the day. The makeup comes in two shades. This takes a couple times to get the color just right. It does dry fast, however if you really moisturize your face first the makeup will blend in beautifully. Your face will look so natural and just gorgeous. Just give it five to seven days to perfect the color. Also, your skin will feel wonderful.
Not Worth It
5/11/2007 - Nan of South Dakota, USA writes:
This product dried my skin, and I had breakouts, it dries way too fast, its too much work. When I tried to return it, there was some problems with the delivery date, their customer service stinks. Definitely not worth the 100 bucks I'm having to pay. No money back guarantee, that should have alerted me. There's a reason why a company will not guarantee their product.
Best Makeup Ever Used
5/9/2007 - Mara of California, USA writes:
I bought this product 4 weeks ago and it was amazing how it felt the first time I put it on my face. After using it every day I have found that my skin acutally feels better. I gave it to my sister and now she says that it helped her acne breakouts.
~ I LOVE IT !!!
5/7/2007 - Vanessa of Florida, USA writes:
I absolutely love this make up. I ordered the Dermacia Pro kit and the colors where off at first, so I had to get ther next darker shades and once I find the perfect match for my skin and started using the complete kit, I noticed and felt a difference in my skin quickly and although I dont have problem skin. I found the make up and skin care regime works for me and will continue to use and reorder my kits..I like that fact you can have a kit delivered every 3 months and billed in small charges..Yes the product is a bit pricey and some may have trouble at 1st getting it to blend well quick enough. But with practice it can create a flawless finish that lasts shine free all day. I'm sticking with Dermacia <3
Great once you get used to it
5/7/2007 - Kelly of California, USA writes:
I tried Dermacia to help with my blotchy skin. At first, I hated it! The consistency totally weirded me out. I usually apply foundation with my fingers, and I think I put way too much the first time I used this stuff because I felt like I had a pound of makeup on. I finally decided to try applying it with a sponge, and I'm really glad I did. I realized I had totally been overdoing it. Now that I figured it out, I love it. It covers all my discolorations and doesn't feel heavy anymore. However, I don't really like that you have to order stuff all together and I hated their foundation brush. Other than that, I think it's great.
Buyer Beware!
4/10/2007 - MJ of Hawaii, USA writes:
Description of trying for free is very skewed. It costs ten dollars for the shipping, but if you keep it, it costs $100. You get extras you don't need. Soap smells terrible! Toner and moisturizer were decent. The makeup color is ok. It's hard to put on because it dries fast. I'm oily, and this makeup made me even oilier and shinier. I had to blot my face a lot more with this makeup. If I didn't put enough, I didn't get enough coverage for my acne. This makeup is not worth the price. It's decent for a special occasion when you need a thick, heavier coverage. On a day to day basis, it's too much. Not worth a $100. Why do they make you buy the kit for a 100 dollars? They won't be able to make a profit by selling just the makeup. Thin twice before buying!
This was not what I expected it to be
4/9/2007 - Cynthia of Michigan, USA writes:
I'm one that already takes care of her skin and follows a really great organic skincare line but just out of curiousity after seeing the Dermacia infomercial which did seem very sincere and sounded like it would be a product that could enhance my existing skincare regimen I thought I would give it a try. Well I recieved the Dermacia products three days ago and I was very, very disappointed to find that the product felt heavy, looked cakey and covered up the natural luminosity of my skin. The color was flat and not at all flattering on my skin. My skin didn't even look like dewy skin anymore, just heavy unatural makeup sitting on my face. I honestly thought it would be a liquid alternative to mineral makeup and glide on smoothly and effortlessly while also looking very natural as the infomercial implies but it was quite the contrary. I'm sending it back today.
Rip Off
4/9/2007 - Maria of Florida, USA writes:
The product is not good. It is not worth the money. I returned it immediately after waiting for a month for the product. I have been charged 50 bucks cause they claim they did not receive the package I sent the package over a month ago and they will charge me another 50 buck if thyy do not recieve it. They do not honor their money back guarantee.
Great Product
4/5/2007 - Ellen of New York, USA writes:
i loved the product. i am 56 yrs old and my skin cleared up with the make up and all the products in the starter kit.i mix the 2 medium tones and it looks very natural. i apply the make up with a sponge. i don't know what everyone is complaining about on this site. maybe they are not using a sponge to apply it. i just also ordered it for my 26 yr old daughter in the light shade.
Really works
4/3/2007 - Kathy of California, USA writes:
I am 49 years old and have tried many types of makeup. I used bare minerals for many years. This makeup is great and keeps my face from getting shiny and prevents the occasional breakouts I used to get. Yes, you have to put it on quickly. A sponge works for me with brushes to touch up any "spots". You can customize your kit for color and although I like the other products I wish you could buy the makeup only.
I didn't like it.
4/3/2007 - Sherry of Alabama, USA writes:
You have to have plenty of time to get it on right and not have any interruptions. It dries to quick during application. Once I was interrupted and had to completely remove all of it and start again. I really wanted to like it but couldn't. I did however like the cleanser.
Worst Product - Makes Every Wrinkle Stand Out
3/29/2007 - Mia of New York, USA writes:
I can't tell you how unhappy I am with this waste of money product. It doesn't rub in, looks fake, does not match the skin tone. Feels like it rubs off on everything, sweaters, scarfs and when you bump into people. It makes all the fine lines and pores stand out on your face. It took at least a month to get the product and I had to leave town before getting it. Time was ticking and when I got back I wasn't able to return it. Worst of all, when I called to try to return it, they didn't even tell me I had other packages on the way. When I was throwing everything out, I was so disgusted with the product that I decided to call back and in fact, more shipments were on the way. It has been a bad experience all around. Don't waste your money.
