Oily skin prone to breakouts, acne and blackheads needs special care. It is worth paying attention not only to cleansers, tonics, creams, but also to decorative cosmetics. This rule especially applies to products for smoothing skin tone: makeup base, foundation, powder, etc. In the article, we'll talk about the "Clinic" powder for problem skin. This product is recommended by many beauticians. And expert reviews of the "Clinic" powder confirm that the product is safe for any skin type.
In the line of the named company there are both organic products for oily and problem skin, and mineral ones. They differ in composition and effect. While the organic powder is mainly for aesthetic purposes, the mineral product helps to heal problematic skin.
What is mineral powder?
Before we consider in detail the "Clinic" powder, product reviews and its characteristics, let's look at the very concept of "mineralpowder".
In the seventies of the twentieth century, cosmetologists and plastic surgeons noticed that mineral cosmetic products do not cause irritation and allergic reactions on the skin of their patients after traumatic procedures (various cleanings, peels, injections, lifts). In addition to being gentle on the skin, such products had good masking ability and protected the face from the sun's rays. This effect was obtained due to the high content of mineral components in the product. These components have a bactericidal and antiseptic effect. In addition, real mineral powder contains no preservatives, fragrances, talc, wax, phthalates or oils, ingredients that can cause allergic reactions, irritation or clogged pores.
The product is loved by millions of women around the world. Today, at least one version of mineral powder is in the line of any self-respecting cosmetic company. But, despite the similar composition, the quality, price and properties of the goods may differ.
Composition of mineral powder
Depending on the brand, the composition of the product may vary. For example, some manufacturers can add citrine or aquamarine to the classic powder composition. Thanks to these minerals, the skin becomes soft and radiant. There is no need to be afraid of such additives. Such components undergo multi-stage purification and are completely harmless. But the presence of these components in the powder is mandatory:
- Iron oxide. The component acts as a dye.
- Aluminosilicate. Creates a light-reflecting effect and makes the skin moresoft.
- Boron nitrite. Creates a so-called soft focus effect.
- Titanium dioxide. Responsible for the masking ability of the product.
- Diamond powder. Creates extra shine.
- Zinc oxide. Performs a protective function. It is the presence of this substance in the product that provides protection from ultraviolet radiation (SPF15).
As for talc and various oils, these substances should not be in mineral powder. If you see them in the composition, then most likely the product is not of the highest quality.
Features of mineral powder
Mineral powders have a light, crumbly texture. They are best applied with a thick natural brush. It does not injure the skin and better distributes the product over the face. Mineral-based powders are suitable for all skin types, even problematic.
You can apply the product both on clean skin and over foundation. The powder, depending on the grinding, will fix the makeup well, create a matte finish, and even out the complexion.
Clinic mineral powder for problem skin can be used as a standalone product or as a finishing agent. It works great during acne treatment when full make-up is not allowed.
The nuances of the products of the company "Clinic"
Company "Clinic" has been pleasing its customers for many years with high-quality cosmetic products, including powder for problem skin. Many are used to thinking thatany powder for oily and problem skin is mineral. But it's not. For example, the legendary Supperpowder Double Action Powder with SPF 15 is not mineral. Like the Blended Loose Powder. Both products contain talc and substances that can cause irritation. But both of these products work well with oily skin. They fix makeup, do not allow the foundation to “roll”, even out the tone and absorb excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands. The face remains neat all day long.
But Redness Solution powder is a mineral product. It can be used even for sensitive and allergy-prone skin without fear. Let's take a closer look at all these products.
Powder Supperpowder
This product is known to many women who are concerned about their appearance. The powder is suitable for all skin types, including those prone to imperfections. Available in shades 01 to 06. The first shade is transparent.
This powder is placed in an unusual case that imitates malachite. This design is designed to give the product status and individuality. Unfortunately, reading the reviews about the "Clinic" powder, it becomes clear that the design causes mixed impressions for the average buyer. Some people like it, others compare the case with a Soviet soap dish.
Includes brush for application. The manufacturer made sure that the product was easy to apply. The brush is soft, does not hurtskin, does not cause discomfort.
The powder itself, although sold in a compact form, is very finely ground. It picks up well with a brush and spreads evenly over the face. Well evens skin tone, and thanks to fine grinding does not emphasize fine wrinkles, peeling, cracks.
Next, we will talk about the hiding power of the product. So, the named powder can be applied to clean skin - it will not provoke any troubles. But to disguise something with its help will not work. It is suitable only for those who do not have rashes or other nuances on the skin that need makeup.
The disadvantages of the product include its fragility. When picking up powder with a brush, furrows and grains form on the surface. This is due to the finest grinding. If the product is damaged, it is unlikely that it will be possible to restore the product using the classic alcohol method.
Superpowder reviews
Reviews from buyers of Superpowder Clinic powder are most often positive. Most buyers agree that this is a good lightweight product. Of course, he will not be able to mask enlarged pores, acne and red spots on the face. But with its help you can make a light daytime makeup. The face will not look like a "powdered peach", the tone will even out, and this result will last all day.
Fine grinding powder makes it easy and convenient to apply on the face. It is very difficult to overdo it with the product, even when applying several layers of the product.
Clinic Blendet Loose Powder
Because of its loose format, Blendet powder is most often attributed to mineral products. This is not true. It contains talc, kaolin and other substances that are not allowed in the composition of mineral products. But that fact doesn't make it bad. Just owners of problem skin should take the composition into account.
Produced in a classic glass jar. Unfortunately, carrying it with you, especially in a small handbag, is problematic. The powder comes with an application brush. The palette has shades from transparent to bronze. But do not forget that very dark shades in the "Clinic" palette are extremely rare.
Comes with a brush. And this point of the buyer is attributed to the shortcomings, complaining that the brush is too thin and poorly stuffed. Doing makeup with such a tool is not very convenient. Therefore, girls are advised to use a more suitable brush. Sponge is not suitable for this product. Delicate grinding will be unevenly distributed over the face and difficult to shade. The manufacturer also suggests applying the product using the "ablution" method: a little powder is rubbed between the palms and applied to the face. But this method is only suitable if the powder is used as a standalone product, without foundation.
The opacity of Blendet is not much different from other similar products. It does a good job of evening out skin tone, but does not work with problems such as acne, age spots, freckles. You can't do without a good concealer and tonalcream.
On problematic skin, Blendet loose powder behaves well. It does not change color over the course of, does not leak or roll the tonal base. But if the skin is very oily, the powder layer will have to be renewed during the day. According to the reviews of the buyers of the "Clinic" powder, this will have to be done twice: closer to dinner and in the evening. This nuance does not apply to normal and dry skin.
Blendet Loose Powder Reviews
Now let's talk about the reviews of the Blendet Clinic powder for problem skin. You should not expect miracles from a jar. She will not get rid of problems with one stroke of the brush. But the light veil created by Blendet powder will help create the image of a he althy, beautiful face. It does not require special skill in application, is not capricious and fits well on any tonal foundation. This product makes every penny paid for it.

Mineral Powder Makeup for face SPF 30
This is the last resort in the review. The named mineral powder from the company "Clinic" was developed specifically for the summer collection. This is evidenced by the high UV protection factor SPF 30.
The product is presented on the market in a bright yellow case made of durable plastic. The product comes with a sponge. It is stored in a separate compartment. With its help, the powder is well collected and distributed over the face. Powder can be used both on a clean face and overfoundation.
As for the color scheme, it is difficult to find something for very light skin in this series. "Summer" product was rated for light tan.
Also, according to the manufacturer, the product should create the effect of foundation on the face. But reviews of the mineral powder "Clinic" with a protective factor SPF 30 say otherwise. This is a good tool that evens out skin tone and protects the face from the sun, but it will not work to achieve a dense, masking coverage of imperfections. Girls with oily skin will have to update their makeup once or twice a day. Those who have it dry or normal will not experience any problems with this during the day.
