Ingredients Explained

One study from 2005 found adding emollients to propanol-based sanitizer decreased irritation.
Alcohol is antibacterial by nature. This can help preserve products and increase their shelf life.

The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.

for Armani, i expected better.
Ive had cheap concealers do the job better than this and it feels so dissapointing. Even with a ton of moisturizing underneath, the foundation flöakes and dries all over my tzone.. it doesn't cover my pimples or such either. the only upside is that its easily applicable, feels very light on the skin and makes my skintone even and glowy. but a moisturizer could do that too.

My problematic fave. This has alcohol denat. pretty high up on the list, but I really depend on this for a more full coverage, natural look. I really struggle to find foundations that work for me as well as this one does, so I reserve it for certain occasions.
