lightens your face but kind of overpriced for what you get [SEP] this is a small bottle of powder that comes with a tiny spoon you dab a bit of the white powder into your hand and mix it with your regular moisturizer which you then apply to your face i used a little water and my usual aveeno moisturizer with spf sunblock my face does look a little brighter after using it for a week but the effect is somewhat similar to using a light colored makeup foundation unfortunately it has little effect on my crows feet or my small laugh lines it is ok but since i can get the same effect applying certain types of makeup or concealers it is chief benefit is that it is good to use when you do not want to wear makeup and want something that has a lighter feel on your face otherwise the price is kind of high for what you get
