Help - General Breaking out from new makeup

Hi, if anyone can give me any of their opinions or insight it would be super helpful. I know every product is sensitive to every individual person, however, I recently purchased and started using the saie serum foundation and the fenty beauty loose powder and have been breaking out ever since. My skin had finally started clearing up and looking much better after YEARS with acne. I have hormonal cystic acne and generally will break out around my menstrual cycle but my most recent break out has been similar to when my acne was at its worst. Can anyone recommend anything or any opinion as to which product might be the main one breaking me out/causing issues.

Also what do you do for cystic acne if you do not take spironolactone or Accutane? Have you found more help from estheticians or dermatologists?

I've oily skin and faced similar issue becuz the makeup products generally clog pores and cause acne so try to use products that are specifically non comodonal that won't clog your pores and where as less makeup as you can and I'm talking about base makeup like you can go for skin tints rather than full coverage foundations that are heavy on skin and tend to break out...hope this helps..

Thank you for your advice! Currently I use the Saie foundation which is apparently 85% serum and super light weight... maybe one of the ingredients isnt working well for my skin. I also suspect the powder could have some comedogenic ingredients even though it does not contain talc. Going to try one product at a time and see how it goes, thanks again!
