Silica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.

Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.

Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Good coverage, hides the rosacea, looks natural. I use Murad oil and pore control mattifier lotion first, wait 5-10 minutes, and then apply this so that it doesn't sink into pores. It's so easy and fast to use, this has become my go-to foundation for day-to-day application
