Such a great product but…
… clogged my pores a lot! :(
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

for a no makeup makeup look, this is it. 20W wouldn’t work for me in a foundation, but this product is so light you don’t need an exact shade match.
