Coming in 55 shades, reviewers love how the formula glides on “like butter.”
Made with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and Moringa oil (a government-studied anti-inflammatory ingredient), this fragrance-free foundation walks the line between makeup and skin care, giving you hydration and nourishment in addition to smooth color. It’s designed to be water-, sweat- and transfer-proof and humidity-resistant, with up to 24-hour stay power, while still feeling light on the skin and not drying you out.
Users say the impressive shade range feels “inclusive and thoughtfully formulated,” with one writing, “no weird gray or orange undertones in the deeper shades…It enhances my complexion without masking it.” Plus, the brand says it has added SPF (though it doesn’t list what number), giving you a little extra skin protection, too.
Whether you apply it with your fingers, a sponge or a brush, one shopper calls the formula the “perfect consistency,” noting it “applies smoothly on the skin, it’s not too runny, and not too thick.” Others love how it feels truly buildable, meaning you can apply “a thin layer for around-the-house days,” or add “a layer on layer for a night out.” Because it’s so smooth on, Jenny writes it’s an “excellent product for large pores,” adding, “I have tried many others to decrease the size of my pores. However, this is the only product I can find that helps.”
Reviewers, particularly those with mature skin, celebrate that it doesn’t “dry my face or hide in the wrinkles” — even after all-day wear.
A 57-year-old shopper writes, “I apply this foundation in the early AM (I work in an elementary school) and after all that movement and chaos, it still looks great on my way home.” Another reviewer with mature skin wrote that they were initially hesitant to try the foundation, fearing it would emphasize lines. Yet after trying it and seeing how “easily and smoothly” it went on, they took to the review section to proclaim their love. “I am 70 years old and this is one of the best foundations I have ever tried,” they wrote. “…I am very happy that I no longer have to keep searching for a good quality foundation that does what it says it will do.”
In fact, many with mature skin call it the best foundation they’ve tried, that “provides a veil of full coverage, with the weight of a tinted moisturizer (or even lighter).” “As a woman who is no longer young with flawless skin this will forever be the foundation I use,” Jessica said. “Never settles into any crease, decreases the look of my dark spots, super lightweight to the point I don’t feel like I’m wearing anything, and even though its a bit expensive it lasts months.”
More say that this foundation leaves their skin looking so good, other people start to notice. “I have dry and mature skin, and get compliments daily when I use this,” one writes. “…I hope they never stop making it.”
Reviewers love this buildable foundation for giving their skin a silky, smooth finish. Read more 5-star reviews and grab some for yourself on sale.
“Like butter. This applies smoothly on the skin, it’s not too runny, and not too thick. It’s a perfect consistency. I think this shade was a little to light for me, for reference I’m a caramel tan skin complexion” — Honey Bee
“Hands down the best foundation I have ever used, and I have bought them all. It’s moisture rich and gives a natural fresh finish. I have dry and mature skin, and get compliments daily when I use this. I love that a sunscreen is part of the formula and the color match is perfect. I hope they never stop making it. A bottle last a longtime and I find one or two pumps max is needed and application with my ring finger works best. I just slowly apply with a tapping and blend motion. It’s buildable coverage and I set mine with a setting spray before adding blush or anything else. I don’t find to be sticky, never irritates my sensitive skin, and the texture is smooth and doesn’t oxidize is a bad way that many do. I have only used the same color match as my skin tone and can’t speak to what a shade darker will look like. Highly recommend!” — K. SPRINTZ
“Love this foundation. It covers minor imperfections and has a flawless finish, very smooth. A small amount is all I needed. Definitely dries quickly but is not cakey or greasy.. I’m 58 and need a foundation that doesn’t dry my face or hide in the wrinkles. This one leaves a smooth finish. Sunscreen is a bonus!” — J Case
Read more Dog Owners Say This Anti-Bark Device Works Like A ‘Magic Switch’
“(57 year old female with a lighter complexion.) I say surprisingly great because it scares the heck out of me to order a foundation online without testing it to my face for an exact match prior to the big buy. My choice of 220C matched my skin perfectly. I was shocked, but the descriptions were pretty spot on. The foundation has a great, just right, consistency and is easily applied to the skin. I started with a clean face, then applied hyaluronic acid, and then a moisturizer. I let that absorb for a couple minutes then applied a primer. By the time I applied the foundation it was smooth sailing. Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation does what it says. It is buildable – I have applied a thin layer for around-the-house days, and a layer on layer for a night out. Both look great and appear invisible on the skin. Being 57, my skin is drier, but this foundation gave it a beautiful, matte finish without sitting in my wrinkles. I apply this foundation in the early AM (I work in an elementary school) and after all that movement and chaos, it still looks great on my way home. I like that it has an SPF so I don’t have to add a step to my makeup application. It comes in an attractive bottle that dispenses the product in the exact amount you want, which I love! This product is definitely pricey (to me!) but it sure does live up to its hype.” — JaneOPks

Gold Bond Age Renew Crepe Corrector body and face lotion
We’ve covered this affordable face and body cream from Gold Bond before, and it doesn’t seem like its popularity is going away any time soon. If you’re dealing with thin, fragile, “crepey” skin, this non-greasy, fast-absorbing product is specifically formulated to firm and hydrate the skin with seven moisturizers and three vitamins. You can use this on your face as well as your neck, arms, the backs of your hands or wherever else you notice your skin looking dry, thinner and more fragile.
Promising Amazon review: “If you are looking for a truly budget friendly, and exceptionally versatile line of facial & body care, this is it. I have used the Crepe erase on my arms and legs for 2 weeks and I see a real game changer. Are my arms and legs devoid of all crepiness? NO! Don’t let any brand tell you that they can make any natural aging bodily changes disappear. However, this cream, when used consistently will provide a temporary plumpness to those crinkled areas. Sufficient to give you confidence to wear short sleeves, or straps, along with shorts or swimsuit. I am 65, I am happy and grateful to have reached my mature age, nevertheless, I want and will give my skin all the effective products to keep them as supple as is possible.” — marihad t arrus
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA liquid exfoliant
Containing beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to help clear the buildup of dead skin, this Paula’s Choice exfoliant can reduce enlarged pores, as well as blackheads and whiteheads. It can also smooth your skin’s texture while improving the skin barrier. You can grab this in a travel size or a full 4-ounce bottle.
Promising Amazon review: “I’ve been using this stuff for about 6 weeks and my skin did a lot of purging for the first couple of weeks like a lot the the “bad” reviews on here said, but it was helping get all the gunk out from under my skin including some really tough white heads and hard little bumps in my skin so I was happy to ride it out. Now after six weeks of using at night, I can see a huge difference in my skin, especially in the pore size on my cheeks and nose. I’ve always had large pores and a few acne scars here and there since I was a teenager and it’s made me self conscious my whole adult life, but for the first time EVER, I look at my skin and all I see is smooth, healthy skin! I am early 40s and the fine lines in my forehead and around my eyes are virtually gone too. I’m amazed! Looks like I have a filter on! So happy I found this product!” — MF
SimplyVital collagen, retinol and hyaluronic acid cream
A bestseller in Amazon’s neck and décolleté moisturizers category, this SimplyVital cream packs a punch thanks to a blend of ingredients that includes collagen, retinol and hyaluronic acid. The cream can smooth the skin’s surface, improve elasticity and deliver deep hydration. Plus, the tub — which comes in two sizes — is mess-free with its inner cover; you just press out the needed amount while the rest stays protected underneath, rather than digging your fingers into the entire supply each time.
Promising review: “I am loving this product for much! As a 42 year old mom with dry skin, I can say that this product has improved my skin in just 2 weeks. I apply it nightly and I have been waking up with refreshed smoother skin. The pump is so fun to use and it works well with my tanning drops.” — Jamie
