I’ve been using this product for years and love how it gives me a mild amount of coverage which is perfect for everyday use. The squalane is moisturizing, and Shade 1 (sometimes 2 if I’m using self tanner) suits my skin tone perfectly. I like that it has vitamin C in it already, so I can skip an extra step in my routine. My only feedback is that it is not fungal acne safe, so I've stopped using it Show more
