What they liked

Lightweight and undetectable on skin
Sets makeup without looking powdery
Works well on dry and combination skin

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

This powder is lightweight yet sets beautifully, especially under the eyes without weighing down that delicate area, a rare balance that earns consistent praise. The blurring finish is noticeably smooth. Because it has hydrating ingredients, people with dry skin report it works well when used sparingly, and those with combination skin can apply it selectively rather than all over.

"This is from Pixi, and this is actually fabulous for dry skin, I feel like. Especially in the right amount. It has hyaluronic acid or something in it. It's really thin, really, really lightweight. [...] It's super lightweight, but very, very blurring as well. [...] It's so blurring. [...] That's a great option for dry skin. [...] So you don't have to use two different loose powders. You can choose one."

Easy Everyday Fall Makeup (Mostly Drugstore)

"I love this powder especially under the eyes. [...] It's a very lightweight powder. [...] I especially adore this powder underneath the eyes because it's one of the best because it doesn't weigh your under eyes down, you know how some powders can do that. This one is just light but it still sets really really nicely and mattifies really beautifully. It's very skin-like."

"This is such an amazing drugstore lightweight powder. This is one that is virtually undetectable on the skin. Now it is going to leave you a little bit more glowy than say the Huda Beauty powder that I love so much, but again for this kind of a look I think it's going to be perfect. This is going to set the face but also still keep it hydrated, which again I think is key to looking healthy in a pinch to making it not look powdery or like you're wearing too much makeup. This powder is so good."

"I wanted to take one of my favorite powders for underneath the eye specifically. This is great for if you want to set the face but maybe it's winter time and you don't want too heavy of a powder or super drying feeling. The Pixi H2O Skin Veil powder is such a lightweight, like HD powder, it's really nice. This stuff is seriously so smoothing. I love it under the eyes especially. It seriously makes the face look so smooth. It's a really beautiful lightweight powder."

"This one by Pixi is my current obsession, which I love. This will just help mattify it down. [...] A nice powder like this is great if you've got combination skin, particularly around areas where you are a little bit more dry. You just need a couple of extra tools in your kit."

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.
