    My skin is pretty dry, so I wasn't worried about looking oily with this product. It covered well and settled in nicely, but it broke me out - milia and a few cystic breakouts.

    I have pretty dry skin and this stuff is so horrible. It turns into an oily mess and makes me look sweaty.

    My favorite CC cream. It matches my skin perfectly and I can wear alone or under another foundation. Reduces redness and evens out my skin tone. Stays in place most of the day when wearing alone.

    I was not prepared for how creamy this CC cream was going to be. It goes on like a combination between face cream and foundation. It does its job of correcting color, and it is very emollient if...

    This CC cream offers light to light-medium coverage.. definitely a bit more than some of the more natural BB creams I've used. It evens out my skin tone a bit but some redness still shows through...

    No. The worst of the CC or BBs. Oily and thick. Colours not great. Heavy feeling. Transfers. Overpriced. Irritated my skin.

    The quality of the product does not justify the price. At $13, I would expect a higher quality. The product is incredibly greasy (even for a CC/BB cream) and does not mattify with the use of a...

    This foundation is terrible. It's oily, watery and course in texture. The coverage is aweful and you can't build it up. It has this oily/watery stuff that pours out of it and smells 'old' and tgen...

    I use the shade 100/light. It's a touch too dark (My best shade match is Lancome's Ivoire). Make sure to SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE it up. I don't know if it's just my bottle, but it separates so easily....

    I have very fair skin, and have been interested in a CC cream for awhile now. I had acne in high school, but it has since cleared up, so I no longer need heavy coverage, just light and SPF. This...

    Searching for the best BB/CC cream for skin I stumbled across this product. I've tried several other BB creams but no CC's. This cream is too heavy/oily for my skin. The coverage is decent, but...

    This cc cream stays on all day, and covers up my acne scars and other blemishes such as under eye circles and discoloration. I will definetly buy this again.
