What the gurus are saying

This foundation holds up beautifully for most of the day, with reviewers noting it stays put through eight-plus hours before any shine appears in the T-zone toward the end of wear. Dermatologists reach for it especially when skin is acting up, breaking out, or showing rosacea, and recommend it often to those with mature or combination skin wanting to cover imperfections without the makeup breaking apart as the day goes on. At 86% skincare ingredients, it may suit anyone looking for fuller coverage that does not feel heavy on drier or combination skin.

"Dior's Skin Glow foundation, at first pump I was so surprised because it looked more glowy, and since I'm team glow I said if I had to pick one I'd pick this baby. But overall beauty reviews are a lot more positive on the matte version, and honestly they named this one glow but it's actually not that glowy. In the oxidation test it barely darkened, but the wear test told the real story, eight hours later after a full day it completely melted off on the glow side, it creased around my eyes almost as much as the matte one, and that pretty glow from the start was just gone. It isn't even glowy, it's lying to your face. If it looks like that on normal skin before summer even starts, oily and combo skin should just run from this one, it was one of my worst picks along with Nars."

"I really, really enjoy wearing this. [...] This wears really well. It looks beautiful all day. [...] I tested it for a 10-hour day and it looked great for eight of the 10 hours and then just the last two hours, it just got a little shiny right through my T-zone and that was pretty much it. So that's if you're looking for like a medium to full coverage bulletproof foundation for those special occasions. That is a great one and I can highly recommend that."

DIOR Foundation Reformulation Reviews | NEW Dior Glow Vs. NEW Dior Matte On Mature Skin
"On first use, my first impression was that it had a soft, glowy finish that does blur the pores and texture a little bit. I felt like it offered solid medium coverage and there was very little settling into wrinkles. But at the 10-hour mark it had gotten really shiny and I wasn't loving it. By the 8 to 10-hour mark it just went full-on shine. The glowy side definitely gets very shiny by the afternoon, and it's accentuating pores and texture. Definitely drier skin people, go for the glow. But on my skin, it doesn't perform as well as the matte version."

"I reach for my Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation when my skin is acting up, maybe I'm breaking out, my rosacea is going nuts, or if I want fuller coverage makeup. I recommend this one all the time to my patients who have more mature skin who have maybe more imperfections that they're trying to cover up. It has medium coverage and it's 86% skincare ingredients. I just love how it wears on the skin, that it's super long lasting so it's not like breaking up on the skin over the course of the day, especially if you have like dry maybe even combo skin. This is just phenomenal."

Dermatologist's Favorite Foundations & Skincare Prep for Makeup | Dr. Sam Ellis
"I think this is a fantastic medium to even full coverage foundation depending on how you apply it that gives just a beautiful radiance to the skin. They describe the finish as radiant and I tend to agree. I don't have any highlighter on, just the foundation with a little bit of Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder and then my bronzer, and the skin looks healthy and luminous. When I touch the foundation it's not wet or tacky to the touch. I want full dry down. I've applied it today with a damp beauty blender and I've applied it in the past with my fingertips and I think that worked pretty well but the application is more flawless when I go in with the sponge. One thing to note is that it has fragrance, kind of floral and a little bit sweet. I tend to notice it only when I smell it out of the bottle; when I actually apply it to my face I find that the fragrance dissipates quite quickly. But if you are sensitive to fragrance, this might be one to skip. The other thing is this foundation has an SPF of 15, and I'm really just going to use this as a reminder to not rely on the sunscreen that's in your makeup for true sun protection because you need to apply the proper amount to get the SPF that's stated on the bottle."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
