I use this to cover my red face and it works well. I don't want to look like I am wearing make up and this stuff allows me to pull that off. The fact that it IS a sunscreen allows me validate wearing it. Sure I wear for vanity (To conceal my redness) but its nice to know it has a utilitarian purpose in blocking sun damage. I am no make up expert, I use a little of this every morning then add a little of their powder to remove shine and I'm good all day. It's still on when I wash my face after work. I like this product.
