   Seriously, for anyone who knows their stuff in regards to physical sunscreens, you Do Not want a predominance of titaniium dioxide. You want zinc oxide.
   Zinc oxide protects against All the UVA rays, while titanium oxide Only protects
   against the short range UVA rays. It is advised by skin experts to stay away form
   this ingredient as the principle protector in a physical sunscreen as it will not
   do an adequate job.

   I’m on the fence with this one. I don’t like that alcohol is the 3rd ingredient as it dries skin out and is not good, especially in a CC cream. However, shade 2 is a perfect color match and looks great since being on vacation and getting a little color. Makes me look “healthier”. I have only worn this for a week so I am going to give it more time to see if the alcohol is drying out my skin too much to be able to use this. The one up side is that it does not contain chemical sunscreen which my skin normally reacts to. I will update!

   Update: tried NO 2 and it is a much better color for me. Still is very shiny but I got light coverage with this. Does have a fragrance. Increasing my lippies for rating.

   I was anxiously waiting for the release of this product since I love Lancome’s BB cream. I could have saved my money.

   I chose the lightest color because the other colors looked so dark online. And for good reason. This has titanium dioxide as the only sunscreen ingredient so it goes on really light and whitish. I am MAC NC20, Chanel 20, L’oreal W2 or N2. The 1 color is too light for me. It seems to be warm toned but also looks a little pink. Would love to know what undertone they were going for.

   The cast does not diminish, instead the CC cream just sits in caked on places on my face by hour 5, does not diffuse my rosacea, and texturally this feels tacky most of the day. It looks greasy on my dry rosacea skin. It starts out ok and diffuses my redness and dark spots on my face but then it becomes really shiny, caky and sheer–a weird combo. Target group then must be mature women or to those dry skinned folk who just want a brightening layer of sunscreen.

   It didn’t highlight my wrinkles or cause a reaction in my skin which is appreciated since my rosacea is flaring. And it is unscented to my nose.

   It comes in a little tube for the price, and the CC is hard to squeeze out of the tube.
