Breaks down on oily skin
I wanted to love this one because it had really good coverage for my acne & PIH and was a good color match for me. Unfortunately on my very oily skin it melted as the day goes on with obvious cracking around the T zone. TBF it's a common problem with tinted products and foundations for me so it's not just this product's fault.
Also to note because of the good coverage, it's not enough as a solo SPF because the 1/4-1/2 tsp you need to apply for SPF 50 would not spread well so a regular sunscreen is needed in addition.

For those who like a natural finish and dont prefer foundation. Shade range is limited and lightest does lean more purple/pink which matches me perfectly which is strange. I am very fair and have sensitive skin. I have been using for over four years and love this BB cream!
