This cream shines as a makeup primer and base, delivering visible smoothness and a polished finish that makeup artists favor backstage. However, experts split sharply on whether it earns its reputation beyond that one job. Those with dry skin report it moisturizes generously and layers beautifully under makeup, but the thick texture means it is not for everyone, people with oily or combination skin may find it too heavy and occlusive, and some experts note it lacks the newer hydration technologies now available and does not offer long-term skin barrier support to justify the price and hype.
