Greasy
I received this as one of my perks for the special month of scoring extra points. The concept is great...foundation and serum combined. I was excited to use it, but it sat on my face and left a terrible feeling of greasiness, and my face felt like I had too much make up on even though I used a small bit of product. It does not look good...does not create a flawless look. I simply could not sta...read morend the way it felt on my face. I tried it for several days, and ended up using blotting papers to absorb the grease it created. This is an inferior product, and I do not recommend it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

My first and LAST drugstore foundation!
Update: I woke up this morning and now have the same tiny pimples all over my chin and the left side of my face. Absolutely horrid. Come to find out this foundation is not nonacnegenic or noncomegenic. Revised review to a 1. Wish I could go lower! .................... 6/16 Wow - that is all I can say. Ok, review done. ;) I was ready to give this foundation about a 7 until I went into the bathroom ...read morethis evening to cleanse my face and found something quite shocking. First, I have to say that this is my first drugstore foundation, at least since I "graduated" from Cover Girl Clean Make-Up about 15 years ago. Since then, I have been using various Clinique foundations, most recently Perfectly Real, and have been very pleased. However, I have been finding some stellar drugstore deals as of late and thought why not try to swap out my foundation? Initially, I was moderately pleased with this product. I read many mixed reviews online; some reviewers said it was far too greasy, others say it was too drying and still others commented on breakouts and that the foundation "slides" right off. It is weird how the comments are all over the place. Personally, I thought the texture was a little dry, yet it left my skin a little shinier than norm, and my face felt sticky. I also looked like I was wearing a "mask" which I am not used to at all. The foundation was around $12, exactly half the price of my Clinique foundation. To be honest, I would much rather spend $24 on a good quality foundation that can always be returned to the department store, regardless of how much is used, and the color can be matched EXACTLY by a professional. That seems like a bargain to me! When I went to wash my face tonight, after my first use of this foundation, I was horrified when I looked in the mirror. My skin is not acne prone; just oily and I am prone to blackheads. I had almost a dozen pimples on the right side of my face. Not just red spots, but pimples that actually already had a head on them! Ughhhh..... Seriously??? Never again. I am heading to the store tomorrow to return, and right over to my Clinique counter! Would not recommend.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 8 people said helpful

Not Real Impressed and NO SPF
I am not very impressed with this product. It sounds good, in theory- a foundation with serum in it- but in reality, not so much. I had issues with it in the summer making my skin super greasy and because it doesn't have an SPF, I had to layer a moisturizer underneath which made it worse. It also comes off really easily. Also, after wearing it for several hours, it looked like it was separatin...read moreg on the surface of my skin...not pretty. So I shelved it unti the weather turned cooler, thinking it would be better, and now it makes my skin look dry even though it isn't. Also, when you set it with powder, even the Olay/CG powder, it looks chalky. The price is also really high for such a sub-par product. Won't repurchase.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
