I have had my eye on this tinted balm forever! I have fair neutral skin and I can wear BB Cool Ivory or Warm Ivory ( to cover redness) and I bought the extra light tint. I have combo skin but I am a retinol user and I’m 40 so I wanted this for the winter.
Pros: Skin like dewy finish Feels good to wear Moisturizing - protective barrier in the cold
Cons: Does not layer well over other skincare ( can look greasy) Used sparingly, it defeats the purpose of the SPF in it Jar packaging is not ideal
Here’s how I use it: In the morning I put on my vitamin C Serum, then I slather a nickel sized amount of this balm all over my face. Then I put on lip balm and I’m out the door. It evens out my skin and has a light dewy finish. You can feel it on your skin, like a protective barrier. It’s a lovely product that serves its purpose well. Not recommended for oily skin.
I have struggled with really dry skin for years and have used so many different brands of skin care and foundation, etc. This is fantastic.
I still put serum, oil and lotion on my face before applying this, but this is the first product that doesn't make my skin feel dried out and tight.
It wears well and can be worn under foundation for more coverage.
I usually wear medium beige foundations and got the medium on this. I had to return it because it oxidized and became orange in color. The light to medium worked much better.
