I thought this might be good for winter, so I'm using it. It gives a matte finish. It looks great even when layered with liquid foundation. In fact, perhaps because it contains less alcohol, it doesn't sting and pores are covered, making it look beautiful. It also has a white/blue tone-up effect. It has a thick texture. It doesn't feel rough. Applying it to your neck prevents your face from looking white. When you apply makeup, it gives you a fluffy, foggy finish, which might actually be beautiful. I've been using the 50 all year, but the alcohol sometimes stings my eyes, so I think this is better for winter. It's also safe for my first-grade child. It doesn't cause any irritation. It does slightly tone up my child's skin. It supposedly comes off with soap, but I use a cleanser every day. I wash my child gently with body soap, swirling a little. Honestly, I'm not sure if it removes makeup exactly, but judging by the color of his skin, it seems fine.
