This powder foundation is a favorite among guests for its lightweight feel and natural finish, making it ideal for daily use. Many appreciate its talc-free formula, which is gentle on sensitive skin and provides good coverage without looking cakey. The added SPF is a bonus for sun protection. However, some guests have experienced issues with the packaging and color consistency, leading to mixed feelings about repurchasing.

I LOVE this foundation. I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup or likes to do so daily, but this powder!!! It's quick and easy to throw on and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tacky. Gives great coverage too. Not as long lasting as liquid foundation, but I like it.
Very Disappointed

The pressed powder cracked and broke with days of normal use, and now makes a mess anytime I open the compact. Can no longer be put in a purse or bag, without leaking powder. I typically use another brand, but it was not available in the store so I purchased this as not alternative. I have never had the other brand crack or break like this, and that is after months of use.
Best for extremely sensitive skin

I’ve been using this powder for several years now, for my extremely sensitive and dry skin. Nothing else suits my skin. But I’m noticing that you’re moving away from this line of your product towards newer additions. First you discontinued Translucent Light shade (my perfect shade), then bringing new products with extra unsafe ingredients. Please don’t do so. At least don’t discontinue or minimize the best product that started me and many more like me on PF . I’m requesting to bring back the Translucent Light shade and keep this particular Mineralwear minimalist formula forever.

The powder itself is good but I won't buy again-- after a month of use the powder has totally broken apart to the degree that I can't use it without making a big mess. Will be throwing away and buying something else probably from another company -- don't want to risk this happening again.
Checks all mh boxes!

Love this powder! I’m super acne prone and oily, so finding a powder that is talc-free, affordable, controls my oil, and has some coverage were my must-haves. This powder checks all the boxes! Some people are commenting that the shade is darker, but as someone who is naturally on the tan side, this is so appreciated from Physician’s Formula. Shades that are available in-store and that meet more than just lighter tones are needed!
I want sunscreen

The powder is fine, but the website presented it wrong. The product package was correct, but the ingredient list stated that it had sunscreen. The product did not have sunscreen. I need sunscreen. How do I get one with sunscreen? I find it frustrating that I can't contact the company with my concerns, yet they want me to publish some sort of "review" that they can use for advertising.
Do not stop making this!

Creamy Natural now too dark

I have been using this for over 5 years. Creamy Natural was my go to. Nobody could tell I was wearing makeup. Now it’s too dark. Please go back to the original formula! I can’t find anything else to match my complexion.
Mehhh

I wanted to love this powder since it’s talc free and affordable but it’s so messy!!! After using a foundation brush, powder ends up all over my hand, my shirt, the counter! I also think it often looks splotchy on my face.
Darker than it used to be

I’ve been wearing this for years but the Creamy Natural is now much darker than it used to be and the translucent is too light for me. Why did the colour of Creamy Natural get darker? So frustrating when there’s no consistency with products you like.

This is my favorite powder. Please don't "discontinue" it, like you did with some of the other really good products.
Please never discontinue!

I love this stuff! It's a staple in my makeup bag! My skin is so temperamental, and now that I'm older, this powder seems to be the only thing that stays on my skin well. I mix the shades to get a perfect color combo. Good skin prep is key to any make-up appl. My skin gets super oily, it's gots the pores, and some texture, but this stuff covers it all!

Super messy. The powder is very loose when you use the included applicator or your own brush that it makes a big mess every time you try to use it. The color comes out too dark. Definitely don’t recommend.
Used PF Mineral Wear Powder for a Decade

I used the creamy natural powder every day and exclusively for nearly a decade up to Spring 2021. It was so fast, convenient, smoothing and offered just the right level of light coverage for me. The SPF was a bonus. I never used the cheap brush included, but used my own fan brush to apply. In 2021 I thought it was too dark/orange and was starting to look cakey on my aging skin (51 y.o.). Also, like many other reviewers, the packaging and product would almost always break apart before I finished the pan. Such a waste of $ made me cry. I highly recommend this for women who would rather go out and enjoy or conquer the world then spending their time and money on makeup.

I won’t use any other brand of makeup on my skin. I like this and their CC cream. They’ve worked for me for years. I have to worry about breaking out due to skin sensitivity as well as sun exposure and this brand has been wonderful.
BUY THIS!!!

I’ve been using this mineral face powder for over 20 years. I initially began using it in my late 20’s when I suffered adult acne and wanted a gentle non-irritating product that gave my skin full coverage without looking heavy or mask-like. My acne eventually cleared up in my early 40’s and though I tried many other foundations and powders, I kept returning to Physicians Formula Mineral Face powder and continued to use this every day in lieu of foundation. I’m now 53 years old and still love this product! It tones down any redness, evens out my skin tone and gives my skin a flawless, natural look. Over the years my favorite cosmetics or colors have been discontinued but this is the one product I can’t live without and probably can’t find a comparable replacement. Absolutely love and recommend it!

If Physicians Formula ever discontinues this, someone please come check on me because I will not be okay. She smooths, she evens tone and texture, she has a lil bit of SPF as a top layer… she’s perfection.
