I love foundation, and never go without it. I switch between brands depending on how dry, oily, or blotchy I look. This is a rich retinol tinted moisturizer, SPF 20, not too creamy but with enough tint to cover. Once it's on (light to neutral is my color) all I need is a little concealer around my nostrils and maybe on a zit. This is one of the most forward-thingking, progrssive products on the market. Don't pass it up! It never looks made-up or heavy, which I like, and doesn't setlle into lines, which I like even more because I'm 47. Go for it!
