not bad

I was looking for a general tinted moisturizer, didn't really have any certain expectations, but I saw this one and grabbed it without really paying attention to even what brand it was. I got more than I had bargained for--goes on smooth, smells like honeysuckle (similar to Clinique's creams), and the tint is pretty nice. Doesn't give a ton of coverage, but my skin was noticably softer after about...read more 4 hours, noticably smoother after about 12. I can actually SEE a difference in the texture of my skin, and it hasn't caused any breakouts yet (even after forgetting to wash my face before bed a few nights ago). You do have to rub it in quickly because it will get a flaky texture if you keep rubbing it around to long, but a quick swipe or two does the trick and it does blend into my skintone nicely. I have noticed that my sweat beads up on it, so if you sweat a lot you may need to keep a tissue handy for blotting. I don't know about the SPF protection because I try to stay out of the sun to begin with. I usually use Pond's moisturizing dry skin cream at night, and it does a better job of moisurizing, but for a light daytime moisturizer this is great. NOT a concealer, I still use my BareMinerals powder for undereye circles and scars. This does help even out my skin and gives me a dewy "glow", so it's good for a rushed morning when you don't have time to do your full face. The worst part about this is the price--it's not a department store brand and I'd rather pay $10 than $20. But, a little tiny pea-sized drop does go a long way, maybe this will last me a while.

Ok, but not great

I had high hopes for this product hoping it would help even out skin tone while protecting. There is only one shade which should have been my clue that the tint was really sheer. In fact, it was so sheer it was non-existent. It was a soft mositurizing sunscreen but it pilled when applied too heavily. I wonder about the sun protection you get given howthinly you need to apply.
