Hi there, I'm looking to refill my Complexion Rescue Defense- Radiant protective veil- on the back the shade is "Soft Radiance". I can't find this shade anymore, suggestions?
Hi AAppelb, This comes in 1 universal shade for all skin tones!Date published: 2021-03-06Hi! Can this Protective Veil be used overtop of the Blemish Rescue Anti-Redness Primer? Or is the Primer simply, not needed? THANKS!!
Hi rdelp, We think makeup should be fun and you can layer these if you want but please know that both of these offer similar results and neither serve as a foundation. One offers SPF coverage and the other helps reduce redness- depending on what your needs are.Date published: 2020-03-16It says to be fragrance free but when I click on the ingredient list fragrance is mentioned in the list just wondering because I have sensitive skin and have to wear fragrance free
Hi Chass, This is synthetic fragrance free so shouldn't irritate your skin but we suggest consulting with your dermatologist to be sure!Date published: 2020-08-17Is this more of a face cream or more of a foundation? I’m wondering if I put this on my face do I have to wash my face as you would with make up or a face cream where I just put it on whenever.
