I have dark, combination-skinned skin, and I have large age spots and melasma around my eyes. I bought this product on a whim, thinking that if I chose the darkest shade other than brown, it would work. It turned out to be a perfect match for the color of my age spots, and it covered them beautifully. Because of my job, I wear a mask all year round, so the strings rub off and fall off, but it's less drying than the SEM mask and more comfortable to use. It comes with a small brush, which is convenient.
