This is a really good CC cream honestly as I get older, I’m certain to stay away from foundations and heavy creams and things that make my skin feel heavy and this is late and it also gives good coverage from the sun so this is a yes for me...Great cc cream...This product is nice, it’s lightweight and does cover my redness evenly, but I did get a shade a bit too dark and it tends to show lines if I use around my jaw so I tent to just lightly contour with it.

Great for dry skin!...Fair or light skin tones and deep or deep dark skin tones will probably not be able to make this work for them...Too dark for Light-Medium skin....Way too dark for my light-medium skin. I like golden undertones and this would have worked had it not been so dark.
