Q & A
Skin Rev-er Upper 4.4 5 55 55
Best product I have been using BE for 6 years. To this day, this is the one thing I cannot live without. It is also the ONLY thing that doesn't make my skin breakout. I have extremely sensitive skin and have literally tried hundreds of products, but this is the only product in the world that keeps my breakouts at bay and makes my skin smooth. I use it even when I don't wear makeup. I hope they never discontinue, because it is my favorite. 05/07/2013
So far, so good I'm not the type that's willing to take extreme measures to improve my skin so after reading the overwhelming positive reviews about this product (here and on other beauty retailers' websites), I decided to pick up a bottle and give it a go. So far, Skin Rev-er Upper looks like it's going to be a keeper. One pump covers my entire face, it absorbs instantly and leaves my skin with a smooth, matte finish. I haven't experienced any adverse reactions (breakouts, rashes, etc.) and have noticed that my skin stays more matte throughout the day since I started using it. This product is another reason I'm a Bare Minerals "lifer!" 04/22/2013
Goregous skin I have used this for only two day but my skin is so soft! It has evened my skin you well! All I needed was two pumps for my entire face. I would recommend this to anyone. 04/10/2013
Love This! I just turned 30 and am really starting to think about my skin. I have not developed any lines or wrinkles yet, but I had started to see less elasticity in my skin. I decided to give this a try. I love it. It has evened out my skin tone and given it a better texture. It looks like the skin I had 5 years ago. I use this after my Clarisonic cleanse and before my moisturizer. It has become a staple in my skin care regimen and I hope to all that is holy that they don't discontinue it!! 02/27/2013
Go to acne product for sensitive skin I have extremely sensitive skin and a small amount of acne. I have only been able to use most acne products for very short amounts of time without irritation or allergic reactions. I was skeptical at first because of some of the other reviews warning against using this product if you have sensitive skin. I was pleasantly surprised just how much I love this product. I have had stubborn blackheads on my nose for over 15 years that wouldn't go away with any treatment... they were gone after just two weeks using this cream. I use just a pump everyday before I apply my moisturizer and voila, beautiful smooth skin. Give this product a chance! 02/09/2013
Amazing I have used BE products forever - this is still my all time favorite. Exfoliates / cleans pores / clears acne / brightens skin tone / light moisturizer. 01/16/2013
Very refreshing I have tried all kinds of moisturizers because my skin/face is so dry. The rev-er upper is amazing and when applied it awakens me and feels cool and my skin immediatley feels "reved" up to go. I highly recommend this. I'm very picky and this is a must before appling foundation, or even just a bare look. 01/05/2013
good stuff I have used probably every brand of moisturizer on the market. I got the rever upper with my mineral stater kit last year and I have only used it a few times but what I am recognizing is it is my go to fix when my face is having a fit. I started using Nuetrogena's Tone correcting with helioplex and that was pretty good but I have a retinol prescription I use at night and I noted that my face was just looking dead ... my skin had no life to it so I have been using the rever upper while I decide what to do next and I am pretty sure the rever upper is my next choice of moisturizer. However, I see from other reviews that it is not "technically" THE moisturizer? I have always used it as such but I'll see how I like it once I finish the sample before I buy another but good product!!! 11/23/2012
BFF my skin I am getting up in years, but this makes my skin smooth and more youthful looking prior to applying the foundation and mineral veil. KEEP IT! Don't every let it be shelved. 10/21/2012
Not a Fan I switched to the skin rev-er upper after using Prime Time brighner. First, the Rev-er upper smells kind of lik wine... and it makes me break out. I've given my skin enough time to adjust to switching products, but I haven't had a clear face since switching. If you have sensitive skin, I don't suggest this. 09/13/2012

Details: 
I have dry skin and I usually wash my face only at night, and apply a night lotion. In the morning I simply use light SPF lotion.

is it okay to use rev-er upper in the morning without washing my face?

Also, I'm curious - why apply it before the lotion? Would it make sense for the skin to absorb the moisture first?

Thanks!

A: 
I would use the serum before using the rever upper because the rever upper is essentially a moisturizer and you'll notice that the serum says to use the serum then apply moisturizer. That's what I would do :) Hope this helps!

don't complicate things, be simple. I'm 54 now but in my 30's I encounter adult acne and I learned (with the help of a dermatologist) BE SIMPLE. Face soap, face lotion and eye cream then the rev-ers then the make up.

Details: 
I can use the New combination skin oil free moisture from the new skin care line, and love it, and it works very nicely, but would really like to add this one with it having the exfoliating, skin texture improving ingredients. I used it many years ago but was using the ProActiv Repairing lotion with Benzoyl Peroxide on my skin before I applied this and would also use spot treatment if I did happen to get a break out. I have tried samples from lines saying they were "Oil free" that would cause me to wake with red, hot, sore and tender eruptions and have to treat them. I did try the new dry skin moisture B.E. cream in a kit with cleanser when it first launched and the creme broke me out in the same way. Since I am able to use the combination skin moisture lotion, I was hoping this would be similar to it. But, I would love to get the retexturizing benefits of the glycolics and such. Is this very much like the new combo skin moisture or richer like the creme for drier skin? If not COULD you bring out some items for break out prone skin, so our good job with our make won't be undone with ingredients from skin products? LOVE the neck cream and cleansers, SO nice to have great products to keep us looking younger and finer textured! Please help us take care of these pesky troublesome skin "trolls"! Thank you for loving these products so much and sharing them with all of the women who appreciate each one so very much! : )

A: 
It IS hard to get skin back to where it should be. Consistency in using one type of makeup line, BE being the best for me, has really helped me out. I don't get breakouts much, but I DO have sensitive skin which can lead to random breakouts.

Drinking water, sitting in a sauna or dry sauna has helped me out in the past and even now. I haven't been in the sauna in a while, but I do drink water all the time throughout the day or when I feel thirsty I usually grab water first. BE has improved my skin. I've used Cover Girl and it's ok, Smashbox was ridiculously expensive and just wasn't for my skin and I've even used Hard Candy which was a line of makeup that Walmart had and it just didn't match up to the quality of BE.

Exfoliaters are good in the morning first thing. Also...if you're used to wearing makeup everyday, give your skin time to breathe a little bit by having a bare face...no bare minerals, no makeup or anything. BE has improved my skin to where I don't have to use much effort to SBT (swirl buff tap). Keep consistently using the BE products over time to see results.

I hope this helps you out!!

Q: 
{2 answers}
Parabens?
Details: 
I was about to buy this product, until I noticed that there are 2 parabens in the ingredient list... It surprised me that BE would use parabens, since the company seems to usually avoid them. I've been trying to limit my use of topical products containing parabens, and usually BE is great about the ingredients, but not this time.
Is BE going to release a version without parabens?
Does anyone know a comparable product without any parabens?

A: 
No way. Since this makeup doesn't have a ton of chemicals and preservatives, it's life is much longer. My rule of thumb is if it has a funny texture or seems dryer than a new package, then you should be wary. But, unless I'm wrong, if it looks and goes on just like new, then it's fine!

Mine definitely has a certain smell to it but I wouldn't define it as "strong." I'm assuming it's the salicylic and glycolic acids that are producing the smell you're referring to.

A: 
Yes, it's the acids in it... they are very good for your skin, because they act like exfoliators and they summon water to your skin layers, so they are rather common in beauty products, but their smells are usually covered by fragrances. The fact that you can smell them it's an indicator that BE does NOT put in anything more than strictly needed, such as fragrances.

Absolutely! Prime Time literally makes your skin feel like a baby's. It gives a satin finish that helps the foundation glide on more easily and completely, as well as make it wear longer. I'm 32 with dry, fair skin and I swear by this stuff. It's the closest way you can get to a "magazine" complexion.

Looking closely in the mirror it was disgusting looking if someone was looking at me that close. The stylist used the Rev-er Upper as the cream under the Foundation and Eye Shadows. What caused this look? Will it happen every time I apply the Bare Escentuals make-up I purchased. If so, I am not a happy customer for the money I have spent on natural prodcuts. Please reply, thank you.

A: 
Skin Rev-er Upper decreases the appearance of enlarged pores over time.
However, I found that the brush you use to apply foundation can accentuate pores size and fine lines, so you look about 10 years older with foundation. After I discovered the heavenly foundation brush I had no more issues with having my pores appear enlarged after application of BE foundation or with having foundation set in my fine lines.

I use the primer for oily skin in my t-zone. This helps minimize that shine, and the appearance of pores. I also notice that about an hour after applying the make-up, I have to use the mineral veil once again, and then I am usually good to go for the day!

A: 
The stylist's application may have been the issue. Prime Time works best for minimizing your pores. If you use the Skin Rev-er Upper under the foundation, make sure it dries completely before applying anything else over it. That may have been the issue with the stylist at the salon. Prime Time will create a satin-like finish to your skin, making the foundation easier to apply and also more comfortable to wear. You can also try a bit of Mineral Veil as a base before applying the foundation. If your skin is like mine, I recommend the Hydrating Veil.

The Rev-er Upper can be used either under you moisturizer & makerup or alone. I have chosen to only use it whenever I do not wear makeup. Although, combining it with the Prime Time has a wonder affect when placing the makeup on my skin. I think using them together makes the two products a power team for the skin.

Skin Rev-er Upper is a product you use to help improve the overall quality (tone, texture, color) of your skin - it's a beauty treatment.

Prime Time is a primer. Makeup primers are used to help turn your skin into the best "canvas" for makeup application.
