I feel like it blends really nicely into the skin and is not irritating, says Dr. Amin.
This one justgoes well under makeup, and blends really nicely with minimal white cast.
Plus, it doesnt have fragrance or anything that would irritate the skin.
For me, the watery formula leaves my skin more even and glowing, never greasy.
