It claims to be anti-ageing and that it gives immediate flawless skin tone and 24 hour hydration. It also claims that over time it improves skin quality and is anti-wrinkle and anti-age spots. So far, so good. It also has SPF 20, which I always look for in a day cream. The box states that it has an "auto-adjusting formula with micro pigments" and is for all skin types.
The first thing I noticed when I squirted it from the tube was that it was a white cream, which looked like a traditional moisturiser.
When I started to rub it in, it began to change from white into a skin tone colour that looked more like a BB cream, or a tinted moisturiser.
Unfortunately, it was not my skin colour! I applied a lot in the photo to show how dark it became. Once it was rubbed in it looked lighter and was hardly noticeable on my arm. It looked like I had a bit of a light tan.
On my face, however, it was a different story. After applying it I looked like I had used a fake-tan that had left me looking tanned but also a little yellow. By the end of the day my skin looked pretty orange and, even worse, I found it quite drying. This product has denatured alcohol as the sixth ingredient, which may be why I thought it was drying. It reminded me a lot of the Garnier BB cream for oily skin and even had a similar smell to that. I would say, if you have an oily skin with a medium or dark skin tone you might love this. But I am pale, so it didn't work for me at all. It may be a product that I could use on a sunshine holiday, as it gave a tanned look, but I definitely wouldn't repurchase it. Overall, I think this is quite an innovative product but the one-size-fits-all approach doesn't really work, and it was disappointing that, in my opinion, it isn't suitable for pale people.
