Hi Rony, it sounds like the foundation just isn't agreeing with you skin! If I were you I would stop using the foundation for a couple of weeks and see if your skin clears up - if it does then it's probably the foundation making you break out! If your skin doesn't clear up when I would take a break from the anti-reddness serum - But taking a break from one product at a time you will be able to figure out which product it is that's irritating your skin!

A peek at that serum's ingredients and there's nothing calming about it. For eczema especially. It's an expensive perfumed serum that in my opinion is not good for your skin. Even if it does not irritate you, it is not calming in nature as promised and there's much more you can do to calm your complexion. The Recovery line from Paula's Choice has calming toner and moisture-rich calming lotions and creams. Eucerin Redness Relief soothing cleanser is eczema friendly, as is CeraVe.

The MUFE stick may be causing breakouts due to its high concentration of waxes paired with certain emollients. I'd discontinue use, as Sabrina suggested. I'd go so far as to suggesting returning it for a refund.
We have some members here with Eczema that perhaps can recommend what works for them and Kitty, Alma, and Ms. Jacqueline will hopefully see this and help you find something that gives you your desired coverage. Best of luck to you.

If you want a good foundation that won't break you out, look for a mineral one. Less harsh chemicals so you don't get irritated :)

I have Psoriasis and Paula's Choice has really made a difference. Like any product line, they have hits and misses, but the Recovery is extremely sensitive and dry skin friendly. The toner has been especially helpful as well as the Skin Recovery Mask. It is formulated for Eczema, Extremely Dry, Sensitive Skin types. Nothing can help more than a great Derm and Aesthetician and so if you don't have one, begin the hunt. I pair the anti-aging and skin healing products from my Derm's own store with other products, such as Paula's Recovery to get maximum benefit.

I order from her website, which offers trial sizes of the products.
She does ship to Canada.

You can try several products from the line in a kit as well.

I know it's really difficult when you have friends that can use products that produce amazing results. I have scoured the web and hit up my library researching ingredients to find what pairs well with my own skin and so I'm always careful when I make recommendations...citing if they have fragrant oils, mineral oils, waxes..anything that might clog pores or sting to help make an educated choice. We're all so different. I feel very confident that these will not irritate your skin.

The members I suggested asking are really educated in not just products, but a wide array of skin types and needs. I'm sure they'd be glad to help.

What results did your friend have that you wanted to duplicate?
