What the gurus are saying

The reformulated version has lost pigment, and gurus found it disappointingly weak even before the change. Both reviewers report needing heavy application to see any colour on skin, and at $34 for a small pan, the payoff feels thin. One notes Dior's powders and highlighters are strong, but this blush misses the mark.

"I was so confused by the blush I had from Dior because I saw people using it and getting a ton of pigment, and I wasn't getting that. I finally found out it was reformulated so it's no longer as good. [...] I'm using the new version and it's less good, they've dialed down the pigment, and I don't understand why they would do that when it was such a hit and such a viral product."

"It was one of the worst blushes I've ever tried in my life. Pigmentless, terrible texture. And I've also used it after the reformulation of the product, and it still wasn't great. I have to be honest, I do like Dior products, don't get me wrong, I love their face and body powder and their highlighters, but this blush is or was just shit. And it's $34 for a blush that's pretty small and actually pretty shallow as well. [...] It's so fine and lightweight that you hardly see it on the skin."

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.
