    The ONLY product from the whole PC line that was worth considering. Beautiful matter finish, not drying, not greasy, very good amount of sun-protective ingredients. How on Earth did she decide to...

    Loved this product, so of course Paula's Choice have decided to discontinue it, along with my beloved Moisture Boost SPF 30. They are beyond cruel!

    I gave this a go for quite awhile but just couldn't make it work. It didn't work well for me as a moisturizer, as it never settled into my skin - it just sat there all day and felt cakey. And it...

    I bought this tinted moisturiser on a whim (it was on sale for $10) and was surprised how much I liked it. It spreads on very evenly and is the most natural looking tinted moisturiser I have ever...

    I have had the opportunity to try the samples of this tinted moisturizer. Overall, I do think it is an average tinted moisturizer. Really not impressed. The coverage is very sheer, not really...

    I've been hunting for a tinted moisturizer for *months* and this is the best one I've found. NARS was weirdly yellow on me and Laura Mercier was way too much coverage. I ordered 2 sample...

    I have repurchased this several times over the years but my original review was 2004. Since then the SPF was increased from 20 to 30 and the colors have changed. In the original I wore a color...

    I like everything about this TM except that it is definitely not matte, which is why I bought it. I'll keep looking for a matte TM I guess.

    This a pretty great but it unfortunately oxidizes a bit on my skin and ends up having a little yellow cast, which is not really acceptable since my skin is very fair with a cool tone. Here are the...

    This is my holy grail foundation. It provides SPF 30, very light hydration and sheer, naturally glowy coverage. Most women will use concealer. It has a semi-matte finish, so you may need a...

    I've had this for forever and after first trying it I thought it was so sheer and didn't do much. I've been trying to go through my makeup collection and re visited this. It's boring but in the...

    I totally love this TM for my summer routine. It can act as a reliable SPF if applied liberally and overall one's face. It melts in so nicely so I can hardly see it on the skin. At the same time it...

    HG tinted moisturizer. I'm on my second tube, have another standing by, and have got my friends hooked on it, too. Perfect for combination skin. If you're pale and having trouble finding a TM that...

    Nice enough tinted moisturizer, but if you are perennially shiny like me, you will still be shiny and need powder after using this product.

    This product is a good TM or light foundation. Warning - like most TM and BB creams it is LIGHT coverage. Don't expect this to be like foundation. It is a matte but not flat look - satin. Ugh...

    This is a great option if you want light (more than sheer) coverage with SPF 30. I have usually have oily skin, but sometimes my Diferin makes it a little dry in places; this TM works very nicely....
