What the gurus are saying
The mica creates the 'illuminating' effect, and gurus split sharply on whether it justifies the $135 price tag. Some praise the luminous finish for melasma, finding real value in fermented ingredients and safflower oleosomes, while others dismiss it as luxury marketing disguising costly plant oils and shimmer as genuine skincare. Anyone sensitive to plant extracts should avoid it.
