This is likely best for someone who needs to even out general skintone, vs. someone who is truly trying to hide redness (e.g. from rosacea).
Product is lite, blends beautifully, feels nice on skin.
This breaks me out every time I use it. Causes fungal acne flair up. Not safe for fungal acne prone people.
