AMAZING
This product is awesome! I've been a lover/hater of the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream for years, but I always abandon it because it takes a lot to make it look skin like on me (even though it looks great after some work)..so I was afraid that this would have the same issue..but it doesn't! This is full coverage, but it's the kind of full coverage that just evens out your skin tone and doesn't obliterate any and all pigmentation at the expense of a skin like finish, it lasts about 9 hours on my combo oily skin before showing serious signs of wear, it blurs my pores a bit, it doesn't oxidize, it doesn't pick up on dry patches too badly, and it doesn't get patchy throughout the day..but the best part is that it has a shade that is albino friendly! I am on the albino ... MoreThis product is awesome!

I am on the albino spectrum..so finding shades that match me is VERY difficult, but 10N works PERFECTLY for me (and to find an albino friendly shade in a CC cream range is even more impressive because they're very limited.) You also only need a pea sized amount to cover your entire face, neck and ears..so it will definitely last a long time..making it very reasonably priced in my opinion. (The SPF in it also doesn't cause any breakouts for me, which is a plus.)Now for the "negatives"...it does take a bit of work for me to be satisfied with it. I use a damp sponge to apply it, then I use a powder foundation on a fluffy eyeshadow brush to set my oily areas (around the nose, the crease of my chin, under my eyes, center of the forehead,) and then I use setting spray to let it melt into the skin, and it looks best about 3-4 hours after application..but before and after that mark it isn't at it's peak. These are normal steps in a base routine for most people, but I prefer to be able to just slap my foundation on and go and have it look great from the time that I apply it until I remove it (which is why I prefer powder foundation, powder also takes less work to look natural.) It is also NOT transfer proof in any way, shape or form..so beware when wearing a mask or touching your face. It is also not suitable for the under eye area. I am not an under eye concealer girl..I just use my foundation, but this creases so badly that that is impossible..so I have to throw another extra product in there (concealer) for this to work for me, unfortunately. My final complaint is that blending powder products over this is a problem because they disturb the base even if you've set it..so you have to be VERY gentle when blending blush, bronzer, contour etc.All that being said...this product DOES impress me, I do enjoy wearing it multiple times a week, and I get compliments whenever I wear it! Everyone's skin and preferences are different, so you may not have to play with it as much as I do (or you may not mind having to put in that effort,) but despite it's flaws it's still a beautiful product that I enjoy using! Definitely give it a try!... Show more

As a fair olive undertone girlie w sensitive skin
As a fair olive undertone girlie whth sensitive skin, this product is perfect. It doesnt really have an undertone, with all shades beung neutral, it lets my natural undertone shine through. And having olive undertone but being fair af thats a blessing. It doesnt try to cater to yellow or pink or meet them in the middle, it really kets whatever tone u have be the base n still provide cocerage and even tone. Its buikdable so it can be light coverage during the day or full at night. I dont even use concealer i just add a bit more product where i need more coverage. I also have had senstive skin since i was a teen n this has been my holy grail. When i had acne it didnt bother it ir make it worse but still covered it whether it was pink n buldging or duscolored n ...

Color off. Texture off. Pump off.
Purchased after ablative laser treatment. My skin will be red for months. This was recommended for coverage and healing. My skin is light to medium. I wish there were neutral shades. I ordered taupe. It’s dark with a grayish muddy undertone. The texture doesn’t spread well even when using the Oxygenetics moisturizer. If I use other skincare it separates and pills. The pump quit working day 1 as described by others. Coverage let the red show through after three hours.... Show more

Finally!
This has been the only makeup brand that hasn't caused me to breakout. I have spent literally thousands of dollars trying to find the one foundation that works with my incredibly sensitive, acne prone skin. In addition to the CC cream, I use the matte primer and setting powder. All 3 products has not given me any issues. I get that it's pricey, that part stinks, but it works and to me it is worth the cost, 100% I do recommend a good makeup remover with this product. I use the Garnier micellar water. I know it says you don't need to rinse, but do and follow up with a gentle hydrating cleanser and moisturizer.... Show more

Good foundation but needs more shades
I love that it has SPF, I like the consistency and the coverage is very good for my acne and redness. I have oily combination skin so I use it with setting powder and setting spray and it lasts throughout the day. If it's humid it does start to separate and need to be touched up tho. I just wish there were more shade options. I have light asian skin with more neutral-cool rather than yellow undertones. I've tried 30N, 25N, 20N, and 15N and none were THE perfect match. On me, all those shades lean towards yellow and either a little too light or too dark so to compensate I mix shades (which is a hassle and still doesn't come out the perfect match) or add powder foundation over. Wish there was more shades because I love everything else about this foundation.... Show more

Great to Clear Skin, Not Long-Wear
I decided to try this because I'm acne-prone and my favorite foundation was discontinued so I needed something new and I've tried tons of products but this is the winner at least for now. This had zero acne-causing ingredients on cosdna which is why I went for it.I understand the price-point but it's a little bit steep for how quickly I go through it. It's medium-coverage so I have to build in certain areas because the Oxygenetix concealer is not pale enough to match the Linen foundation very well. It also doesn't wear very long, even with primer (which has to be compatible with the aloe-base), so I have to apply once in the morning and touch-up multiple areas again in the afternoon — I've used about half the bottle in just a couple weeks, and I can see lots of ...

Incredible
This foundation not only makes my skin look perfect, it makes it feel like silk! The finish and texture of this product are simply incredible. I would never have thought an spf 30 mineral product could function like this one, and I certainly never thought a foundation could have spf and this incredible performance. This is sweat/water resistant, and it does not need powder or anything to set it! Such a little goes a long way, that this will likely last longer than regular foundations even though the bottle only contains .5 oz liquid. If you are able to splurge on a foundation, forget the luxury brand-names and give this one a try. You won't get medical-grade foundation at Sephora! I wear shade Almond in this foundation.

New HG product?
I'm on day 2 of wearing this and have already received multiple compliments on how flawless my makeup and skin looks! I'm always on the lookout for something that provides good coverage but is also light and has skin benefits. This fits the bill completely. It blends effortlessly with a damp beauty blender. The color match is also phenomenal and is near perfect to my skin tone (30N). For reference, I have unproblematic, non-acne prone combination skin. I have dry skin for the most part but tend to get oily in my T-zone at work because I have to wear an N-95 for my full 12-hour shifts. This makeup lasts the full 12 hours and still looks flawless! I also have been using the cool beige loose setting powder over this for the past couple days and it has kept all of the ...

Not great at all for the price
I expected this to be a great product since it’s dermablend. I was looking for something between light foundation and heavier longwear foundation with spf and this fit that. However, the Cc cream looks cakey, creases, and pills super easily. It smears and transfers way too easily even with primer, setting spray, and nothing but a fully absorbed moisturizer underneath it. I tried all combinations. It doesn’t seem like you should need to do any of that since it’s more casual makeup. It does color correct and look nice at first for maybe an hour or two. Even with just a small amount on it would spread away from any natural creases on my face like to corners of my nose and around my mouth. It was weird and I’ve never used a product that does that.

Additionally, even my most effective setting spray didn’t hold it in place. For $40 I would have expected better. I returned it. I could get drugstore Cc cream that works better than this and just wear good sunscreen underneath it.... Show more

Not What I Expected
I had extensively researched the Oxygenetix Foundation prior to purchasing as I was recovering from a deep CO2 laser resurfacing. I have used their moisturizer, the Hydro-Matrix, and been very pleased and was excited by what I had read about this foundations ability to cover up, moisturize, smooth and conceal, which are just some of why it has been touted as being popular among the hollywood film scene. In actuality, I found that this foundation greatly accentuated the dry and irregular spots on my skin and made me look substantially worse. It wore quite dry and chalky, rather than smooth and moisturizing. I was so displeased in how my skin looked with it on, that I even wondered if I had gotten a bad batch or old supply as its quality when on my skin was so much ...

I will not be returning to the Oxygenetix Foundation.... Show more
