This is my favorite foundation I've ever used. *The only other foundation I've used is Shu Uemura Unlimited something (around 2022), so it's not really comparable... I tend to get acne when I wear makeup for long periods of time, but this doesn't happen when I wear it! It's also less drying, and even when it does get shiny, it has a beautiful shine. I used up one bottle in a year and am now on my second. I'd like to try other foundations, but for now I'm repeating this one because it doesn't have any added benefits. I layer it over my Dalba primer.
