It sounds like the stuff of a teenage medical fiction horror novel, but antibiotic-resistant acne is actually a very real, fast-growing problem among dermatologists' patients.

Here's what happens: You get a prescription for antibiotics, and the acne goes away for a while, but then it comes back. You take more pills, and nothing happens. Those same stubborn zits keep rearing their ugly heads.

Stila review: Perfecting concealer

Filed under: Cosmetics


The nice folks at Stila sent us some samples so we could try their products first hand. We spread the bounty across two bloggers, Kristen Seymour and Cat Lincoln, who will share their reactions with you this week.

Stila's Perfecting Concealer is a semi-matte concealer designed to hide "under eye circles, scars, redness, and other imperfections."

We were really excited to try this out because, even after getting a full night's sleep, we tend to have under eye circles, but now that we're no longer 18, some concealers and foundations end up making our smile lines (because we do not have wrinkles -- our face is simply used to smiling and being happy) more obvious.
