I tried LA Splash (from US). They’re pretty good too and I didn’t find them drying for my skin.

I did use a compact from Face Canada and it has mica and corn starch and Titanium Dioxide and I found it drying for the skin!!! want to search a brand which isn’t drying…heard Mary Kay and Fairie Organics are not too drying for skin. May be MAC would also prove good!!!

This is such an interesting article! I agree, I find mineral makeup does not appeal to already dry skin! I find it merely highlights my already dry areas instead of enhancing my features. I think Benefit face powders work a treat for my skin, they add a subtle lovely coverage without illuminating any red, dry sensitive areas. I haven’t yet found any coverage that suits very sensitive or dry skin.

In terms of ingredients, they seem on par as both use Mexoryl but Kiehl’s might be less greasy – depends on which LRP sunscreen you choose cos they have a number of different products.

Thanks Sesame. Do you think Kiehl’s or LRP sunscreen offer a better protection?
