Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This foundation earns top marks for coverage among glow cushions, with a semi-matte finish that suits combo and oily skin more than the older, glowier version. The buildable finish and patented puff technology earn praise for applying evenly across ages and skin types, though the shade range is limited to just three to five shades, making it inaccessible for many.

"I use the Clio Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion pretty much all seasons, for people in their 30s and 40s, and even moms in their 60s with mature skin love it too. It's great for the price, but Clio only has three shades, which is a shame because the colors are so limited."

Testing Viral Korean Skincare and Makeup Products - Worth The Hype?

"This Clio Kill Cover Glow Cushion has been reformulated with 21 colors. What I love about it is the spongy, pretty thin, flexible puff, very cooling. Even though it's called glow cushion the coverage is amazing, especially under the eye area. The older version was a lot more glowy, and I like the older version better. The new version is more semi matte, better for combo or oily skin, but if your skin still feels dry underneath, this one will still work better for you."

"This one has the highest coverage among the glow cushions, I use color number three, and this is the product I use most these days. It doesn't shine as much as glass skin, but it covers pretty decently."

"On me, it has buildable coverage and a nice glowy finish. But the downside, it has a ridiculously limited shade range. I think they launched with like three shades and recently they expanded to five. And I am the darkest shade which is Ginger. This is pretty standard for brands that are made for the East Asian market, but it is still ridiculous and it would be great if they could change this because otherwise this is just so great."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

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.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
