Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

By Mira 1 year ago.

This is my OG tinted moisturizer. I have backups for this product since it is not easily accessible for me. I still wear sunscreen underneath but sometimes when I'm feeling lazy I am not scared to just slap this on for my base since this already has SPF. It is easy to apply with either fingers, beauty sponge, or brush. It hold powder products on top quite well, and is not comedogenic on me. The only downside is it slightly oxidizes on me by the end of the day.

I\'m considering it a tinted moisturizer/SPF, and in that context it\'s an A+ for me. I don\'t like tinted moisturizer usually, as there is not enough tint to make it useful and they are always too neutral or pink. Here, this is well pigmented and yellow, just what I always wished for in tinted moisturizer. It covers my redness /melasma/ scars/ unevenness just enough to blur and even out. With SPF... this is my \"foundation\" for all outdoor/casual events... sports events (watching I mean), time at the park, hike with a friend, exploring... (I wear SPF product daily, but this on top gives extra thickness of coverage and insurance!). I wear it for weekend hanging. As a secondary use of the product, I have worn it to work, when my skin is really misbehaving and bad flaky patches or something else where foundation just failing. It\'s actually ok even for that, esp with dusting of powder, but I normally prefer a sheer to medium but real foundation \"look\" at work (personal preference/type of job) Oh, I want to add, I bought and returned 3 times before finding shade!!! Worker matched me to natural 05. Which I used for a while, and thus had to keep. Then I bought 3 of the darker yellow shades before realizing buttercream 03, which I guessed would be too light, was the right one for NC25. This was not obvious to me. Also, I apply with fingers not the brush (which also works fine).
