What the gurus are saying

One expert found it hydrates without feeling sticky or tacky, holds up well through the day with minimal wear, and blends naturally into skin. However, another reviewer expressed concern that its high skincare content and balm texture may not perform as well on oily skin, suggesting it may work better for those with drier or normal skin types rather than oily complexions.

"This one is actually fascinating. You would think it was the budget option because at checkout it's about half the price of the IT Cosmetics, but ounce for ounce it comes out almost exactly the same, about $53 per ounce compared to about $54 per ounce for the Do It All Balm. It does come with a little puff applicator, but I still prefer applying it with a brush. It actually has more skincare ingredients than the Do It All Balm. I expected it to be a little bit more hydrating, it is hydrating, but it doesn't have that dewy finish, it's a little bit more matte. It leaves a beautiful finish on the skin, it slightly covers up my imperfections and it feels a little lighter on the skin. The L'Oreal Balm is that perfect in between, a slight budget buy. If you've never tried a balm before, I think this is the one you should probably try, and if you have normal skin and want a little bit of coverage without a lot of glow, this is the one I'd recommend. For my personal favorite, it's the L'Oreal Balm. It gives me enough coverage, it's not too dewy, it doesn't give me that overglow feel that sometimes I can get in these warmer months."

"My skin feels hydrated, but it doesn't feel like sticky, greasy, hydrated. It just feels comfortable, which is really, really nice. Usually hydrating things don't dry and set and they leave my skin feeling a little tacky and coming off on my fingers and on everything else all day. I think I like it better than the original version. I definitely like it better than the It Do It All, which at 5 hours didn't look this good. It was definitely starting to wear off on my nose at 5 hours and on my chin at 5 hours. Really no settling into wrinkles to speak of at all on the forehead. Very not worn off anywhere. It looks really nice, really natural on the skin. Zero wearing off on my nose. At the 10-hour check-in, from a distance, I still think it looks beautiful. I don't really think it looks very worn off at all. I am seeing a tiny bit of wear around each nostril and not so much really anywhere else. It really hasn't been doing anything like sliding around, especially on my forehead."

"I'm curious about how a drugstore tinted balm does at number nine. I'm not 100% down for this. The 80% skincare kind of scares me because I'm like, please start with the whole skincare thing. It tells me it probably won't last as long on my oily skin. Maybe it's not made for oilier skin. I'm not gonna run out to buy this or feel the need to do so."
