What the gurus are saying
This finishing powder's luminous effect splits reviewers: most say it looks like skin with a delicate glow and lasts years as an investment piece, while some find it ashy and powdery, especially on deeper skin tones. The shade range is limited, as the palette was designed with lighter skin tones in mind. Apply a light dusting, since this finishing powder is powerful enough on its own.

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