"I absolutely love the original formula that they came with but they changed it up. I started seeing it at TJ Maxx for a long time and then they came out with this newer version which to me is very similar except the colors are all different. It's annoying. This shade I have is 21 cool and I think it's just a touch too dark or maybe it was a little too light. I don't know. A little bit of this goes a very long way."

"I love Bare Minerals Bare Pro because I have such sensitive skin and their stuff is just so clean and doesn't make me break out."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
