"The L'Oreal Infallible 32 Hours Fresh Wear foundation in Rose Ivory [...] wasn't the best for me. It started to break down around hour four and settle into my lines and show some redness, and I need my foundation to look good for most of my workday. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it, which is why it took me two and a half years to finish. The Rose Ivory shade is a good color match, but [...] I have others I prefer and won't repurchase."

"This is such a beautiful foundation. It has really really nice coverage and a beautiful finish, but it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It's the best when you find a full coverage foundation that doesn't feel like it's suffocating your skin. I tend to prefer a more full coverage foundation, especially when I'm breaking out around my temples and my forehead. [...] If I can get a good amount of coverage with the foundation, it makes spot concealing a lot easier. Gorgeous formula."

"This is a beautiful formula, just if anybody was wondering. Very lightweight and comfy. I do need a lighter shade though. Quite nice."

"It went viral when it launched. I don't wear foundation every day anymore but when I do need to wear it I always use this foundation. It's been my go-to for years, probably since they first launched it, and I still love it. I've tried other foundations but I always come back to this one because it's so good. I'm 40 years old and my skin is dry and dehydrated and this foundation does not show any dry patches, does not exaggerate my fine lines and wrinkles, and it doesn't separate or pill."

"I think drugstores are doing some really, really good foundations recently. It's very rarely I use one that I absolutely despise. [...] I think L'Oreal have done a really good job recently with their products. [...] It's meant to be up to 32 hours long wear with Vitamin C. No fading, no shifting, and it's a full coverage. First impressions are good. It's sitting quite well on my skin. Usually in this area here I get a lot of texture, but this is sitting really nicely in my problem areas."

"This foundation is waterproof, heat proof, and sweat proof, and so if you're suffering from hot flashes or you're just a very hot person then this is going to be the foundation for you. It's also very mattifying and very smoothing and blurring on the pores, so if you have texture on your skin and large pores then this is going to be your best friend. I really loved how this looked on my skin, I felt like it was very smoothing on my pores."

BEST Makeup of 2021 Drugstore to High End!

"This foundation went viral this year. I reviewed this in a trying all-new makeup video and I really really liked it a lot. I felt like it made my pores look reduced. It goes on fairly matte and it did feel a little bit drying to me when I first put it on, so it might not be perfect for people with drier skin. But if you have like normal to oily skin, I felt like it was really good looking. It lasted all day and it kind of made my pores look a little bit smaller because it was matte."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
