Advantages: Feels really light on your skin
Disadvantages: Too much product comes out with each twist of the tube
I am a self confessed Benefit addict! I have tried pretty much all of their products and this is no exception. I have been plagued with trouble skin for many years, being on medication for acne for quiet a while so anything that promises to make my skin look better has got to be worth a go.
The first thing you will notice about this product is its fantastic smell. It fruity but a little sweet smelling with a very very light consistency. The first time you use this product you will have to twist the bottom of the tube quiet a lot. I was a little concerned that I seemed to be twisting and twisting and not getting anything out but stay with it! A little criticism would be the amount that comes out with each twist, it isn't enough for an all over face application but two twists is a little too much, however there is a little plastic cap that goes straight on top and I found that this will keep that little extra bit fresh enough to use the next day and thus making the tube last longer.
I tried using the product both under foundation and on its own. When I tried it under my foundation I just applied a thin layer first, it soaks in very quickly, and let it dry before applying my foundation. I don't feel that it gave my skin a brighter look but it really did make my skin smooth and provide a great base for my foundation and it even made my foundation last a little longer.
Now when wearing this on its own - WOW! I found that I needed to use a little more than when using it under my foundation but it really did even out my skin tone, smooth my skin and definitely provided an extra glow, perfect for those days when you don't need to wear a full face of make up.
Overall the product was great and definitely one I would buy again, I have been using it almost daily for 6weeks now and there is still plenty left in the tube.
Summary: Really great product under foundation or on its own
