Perhaps the samples tried by the previous reviewer were off in some way as I can honestly say that when I bought this foundation there was absolutely no strange smell and certainly none that lingered on the skin.

I have never suffered with spots until recently due to a side effect of the pill I was taking. Acne on a forty year old woman is definately not a good look so I have tried all manner of lotions, potions and facials to improve the situation!

When I read about this foundation that is said to cover and heal spots I was sceptical to say the least, but I was desparate by this time so thought what the heck!

The foundation was runnier than I expected but seems to provide good coverage nonetheless. I agree that you can still see the spots a bit when applied, but after about 15 mins I found that the foundation seemed to settle and I could barely see them at all.

The claims of healing spots amazingly also seems to be true as there was a marked improvement in my skin within a week! My only slight complaint is that it did seem to dry my skin quite a bit and left it a bit flakey looking for a day or two, but after this it looked great.

I work as a massage therapist and can sometimes get a bit hot and sweaty, but this foundation left my already combination skin looking fairly matte all day. In fact several clients have commented on how great my skin is looking. This has not happened for several months.

I am really pleased with this product, will definitely be buying it again and have no hesitation to reccommend it.

I had very high hopes for this product as I have fairly oily skin that is prone to spots and red marks. This foundation was supposed to cover them up as well as "treating the problem".
I went and got a sample of the foundation and as soon as I opened it there was this really peculiar smell about it. When I put it on my face I was tempted to wash it off again because it smelt so bad. This didn't go away for a couple of hours. I went back to the shop to see if other tester were the same and yes, unfortunately they were.
As for the coverage I have so say I was pretty disappointed, the blemishes it is supposed to hide are almost as visivle as without the foundation. After two hours my skin was already shiny again.
I am now sure that I will not buy this product and keep on looking...
