A Nice, Effective Powder
The powders I use are chosen carefully, as too many can be aging and drying. I was fascinated when Physician's Formula came out with "CoverToxTen50" powder specifically to disguise wrinkles, firm skin, and help disguise age spots. The chemistry made sense: Physician's Formula uses GABA, a muscle relaxant naturally occurring in the body, to calm facial muscles (much like the way BOTOX works). ...read more BV-OSC™, an active form of Vitamin C, helps to encourage the synthesis of collagen, which keeps skin firm. The brush which comes with the compact isn't highly useful, so I substituted a kabuki brush instead and worked this over my complexion in circles. I liked the coverage (gentle radiance), and there was a softening of some of the furrows just beginning to appear. Physician's Formula claims that there is a 50% improvement in five minutes (and I saw it). After ten days of continuous use, skin is 90% visibly smoother. I love this and keep it in my vanity and in my purse.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Average
This is pretty much like any other face powder, blurs shine, covers under eye circles and facial spots.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Didn't work well for me ;(
I just read GigiSD's review on this and almost feel guilty that I wasn't fond of this powder, but I still have to remain honest and say that this didn't really work for me... I usually like most "Physicians Formula" products I try, and I love their "Mineral Wear" powder in "translucent" (the mosaic kind, not the "spotty" one), and I got this hoping that it will work just as well, but take care of ...read moresome of my fine lines as well. I was very wrong... I'm in my mid thirties, but my skin is in pretty good condition... I can't say that I have a lot of wrinkles but I do have them, even though most of them are fine lines. So I don't know what type of skin I would need to have in order to like this, so I'm describing my skin type just to let your know that for my particular skin it didn't work, and in case yours is the same, hopefully this review will help you... My combination skin tone is somewhere between NC20-25 and NW 20-25, and I got this in "Translucent Light"... So here's the weird thing. When I swatched it with my fingure, the texture felt very light and it really did feel like it would look translucent on my skin, but when I apply it on my face, for some reason it looks very powdery. That's a very odd thing for me, because I always thought that powdery looking powders have to feel pretty thick and not finely milled. This one feels very thin and light, but just doesn't look like it on my face... So I can't say if the science behind this powder, in terms of wrinkle relaxation and things like that, makes sense because I just can't wear this long enough to find out. And because it looked so powdery on my face, I'm unfortunately not able to recommend this as a good product... I'm still giving this six stars because in general, I support a lot of "Physicians Formula" products. This is just one that I happen not to like but no brand is 100% perfect...This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

less redness
the powder doesnt seem as fine as some, but it makes it cover the redness around my nose and on my cheeks a bit better, and it seems soothing too, so much that when i take it off my face stays less ruddy for a while. not oily either.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Okay but will not purchase again
I can't get over the fact that there is almost a stinging sensation about a minute after applying this. I expected there would be slight tingling due to the wrinkle therapy but it's not something I will use ongoing. Not worth the slight improvement I noticed in wrinkles.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

not perfect but decent
I've been using Bare Escentuals for about two years now and for awhile now have noticed the mica in it drawing attention to my pore size and other imperfections and have been looking for a mica free 100% mineral powder with good reviews to replace it with. However, the search has been hard and I decided I couldn't continue using my BE (at least solely) so I picked this up at the drug store on a w...read morehim while waiting for a script for my son. While it doesn't seem to work as well at acting as a concealer type foundation powder like BE does, it DEFINITELY seems to not only not draw attention to my pore size and other imperfections, it actually does a wonderful job at helping them to nearly disappear to the eye. I now have been using a combination of my BE (as a concealer primarily) and this until I can find something to replace them that is natural. This duo combined with my new primer and I feel like I've dropped 10 years!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

A plus in my book
Anything by Physicians Formula is great for your skin. It works well to cover up blemishes. I'm not sure about curing wrinkles, but this left my face feeling smoother.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Love this as a finishing powder
I read about this powder on another beauty forum as being similar to Smashbox's Halo so I had to try ti. I like it better than Halo. It gives me a great finish without the sparkle. I am medium complexion so I purchased the medium version of this powder.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Best makeup product I have ever used.
I don't remember where I bought it. I have looked everywhere and I can't find it. This is the first time I have looked on the internet to find anything. This is how much I feel this makeup has improved the apperance of wrinkles. I don't have the money to medically make the wrinkles go away. But this product makes them visually go away and that is good enough for me. Thank you for creating a product for the everyday woman.
