So I just got milk of magnesia and have acne prone oily/combination skin and some of the reviews on it say when applying put on a small amount and others just put on a whole bunch on their face, what do you do when using this product and how do you feel it works best? Also, would this work fine with powder foundation?

Things you need to know,
-Yes it does want it says. No it will not work with powder foundation. It turns into a chalky Mask when dry.

-No you should use it. I used it every single day from almost 2 months. It didn't affect my skin drastically. But my skin changed. The rest of my face became less oily without it and my nose became resistant to it.

-it's a quick fix only thing. It does mess with skin ph with time. Since it's extremely basic (ph 10) and our skin is suppose to be acidic to create a barrier for pathogens

I thought about trying until I did some research of how bad it can actually be for your skin.

Don't drink it... Or you're going to have a BAD time... I honestly don't think this is a good idea. The approved use is as a laxative not as a acne remedy. Acne drugs are usually tested by the fda.
