I tried this once a few years ago, but ended up returning it. A couple days ago, I saw it again, and wondered why I had returned it. I didn't remember breaking out or having any other terrible experiences with it. I bought it again to try it out. After all, it sounds great! Enriched with vitamins without talc and all those other parabens that I'm told are terrible for me (though I find that they're everywhere), it sounded like an idea primer/shine control balm.
About me, I'm 24 with normal to oily skin (especially in the summer, but it tends to dry out and flake in the winter). My skin is also a bit sensitive, sometimes new products give me hives. I don't really break out so much anymore, but can definitely get one or two huge pimples when I've been bad about washing my face or when it's close to that time of the month. The big ugly kind that leaves scars :(
ANYWAY
Dr.Feelgood is pretty nice as a primer under powder foundation, but not so good under liquid. When I used it under powder, I just applied with my fingertips. It's just easier, the sponge is a bit bulky. With liquid foundation, I wasn't too impressed. I don't know about you, but I don't have 20 minutes in the morning for my primer to dry and absorb onto my skin. The liquid foundation kind of just sat on top of the balm and looked... not horrible, but just not settled.
During the day, I used it a couple times over my makeup to control my oily T zone whilst at work, but it wasn't too good at that either. It didn't control the shine as long as some other powders have for me. And the other reviewers are right, the sponge does get really dirty.
My conclusion:
it's okay. I didn't have any terrible experiences with it, but it's not worth the price for me.
EDIT:
dropped it down from three stars to two. I woke up with a giant zit, and seven smaller pimples only in the area where this was applied... not thrilled. Haven't broken out this bad in years :(
Who it's for:
If you have pretty even and normal skin that does not need much coverage except for a bit of sheer powder, then I think this would be great for you. It does fill in pores and light wrinkles (I cock my eyebrow a lot -_-), but for someone like me who needs a bit of coverage and concealer on a few scars and hungover mornings, it's just not worth the $28.
