Love this cream. Very moisturizing and smells good. Great for blending and blurring makeup over it.

BEWARE if using retinol
PostedApril 25, 2023
Size0.5 oz
My skin has acclimated over the last six months to a 1% retinol. For the last 4-5 months was skin was doing beautifully with the 1% retinol. Then I tried this Face Base. The first time I used it, my skin stung a bit. (At this point I should have washed it off) but I continued with my makeup routine. The next day I used it again. BIG MISTAKE. My skin burned and foolishly I didn't wash it off but continued with my makeup. By evening I had full-blown severe contact dermatitis. My face is bright red and extremely irritated. I suspect it's the strong citrus fragrance in the product that did this. So BEWARE if using a retinol product - even if your skin is acclimated to the retinol - this Face Base will cause a burn and irritation like no other.
