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

I really wanted to love this product but it stings my eyes! The coverage is very full, I wish this was more of a light tint than a full-on face of makeup looking foundation. I feel like my skin can’t breathe when wearing it.

It finished beautifully on the skin and has good staying power all day, but unfortunately the niacinamide is crazy! My skin was itchy after I washed it off and I had red welts all over my face.
