Orange oxidation issue is almost always an undertone mismatch combined with a formula that skews warm. For non-comedogenic formulas, avoid anything with "isopropyl myristate, coconut oil derivatives, or heavy waxes" high in the INCI, these are the most consistent pore-clogging culprits. Look for a water-based formula with "dimethicone" buildable medium coverage, and a satin finish. For undertone look for shade descriptions that specify "neutral or cool".

Happy to help. could you be a little more specific about what you're looking for? Face products covers a lot of ground= cleanser, moisturiser, serum, SPF, toner, eye cream. The right suggestions depend on your skin type & what concerns you want to address. Thanks.

Hi. A few questions first though...What's your skin type? Like:Do you get oily mostly in the T-zone or everywhere?Do you feel tight after cleansing?Are you acne-prone or sensitive?And are you using any exfoliants, retinoids, or acne treatments right now?For example:If it’s oily + dehydrated, lighter hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, & gel-creams usually work well.If it’s oily + sensitive, then keeping the routine simple & barrier-focused helps more than strong acne products.If it’s combination skin, sometimes using lighter hydration on oily areas & richer moisturizer only on dry spots works best.

Hi OP. Look for a silicone-based foundation with dimethicone listed early in the INCI, this fills & blurs pores while sitting smoothly across the skin. Medium-buildable coverage formula works better than full coverage for this concern= less product means less that can collect in pores. Avoid anything with heavy waxes or high alcohol content. A satin or natural finish sits better on mature skin. Hope this helps!

I’d look more at the finish and formula style. A formula that has hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid + some flexible film-formers tends to sit better on fine lines and gives that smoother look. At the same time, a bit of oil control like silica or light powders helps keep the T-zone in check.

@crystaldubray74 do you like dewy, satin or matte?

@dillionnichols I've liked some and not others. It really depends. Obviously there are things geared toward different skin types (I'm dry skin for example, so the less hydrating moisturizers aren't going to work for me for example, but that doesn't mean they're bad per se). I've had pretty good luck overall with some of the items, but then they'll often reformulate them and say put a vitamin C in a non opaque container so it can be hit or miss. If you can get a sample to test, I'd recommend that. But also if you have a skincare routine you like and is in your price range, then I don't know if I'd waver much from it unless you like testing new things.

I hear you. A lot of the “good” whitening stuff really is pricey, and it’s annoying when the drugstore options barely do anything. For budget-friendly stuff that actually works, I’ve had decent results with whitening strips (just follow the instructions and don’t overdo it). Some of the toothpaste options with baking soda or peroxide can help a bit too, but don’t expect magic, they’re more for maintenance than big changes. If you’re open to kits, I checked out Smileactives, and talking to them directly was actually helpful. You can reach their smileactives phone number to ask about what’ll work best for your situation and any deals they might have. Not crazy expensive, and their customer service was chill about answering questions before I bought. Just remember to take it slow so you don’t mess with your enamel.
