theBalm Anne T Dotes Tinted Moisturizer 10 For Very Fair Skin 1 fl oz 7168

Absolutely love this stuff! I’m 63 years old, with dry, very fair skin. Lines and wrinkles are obviously an issue, as well as sun darkened patches on both sides of my face, around the jawline. Plus, my nose is always kind of reddish. While I want to look my best, I also want a quick easy application for everyday wear. This does the trick! First of all, it’s VERY moisturizing, and you really need to shake it good to mix the oils into the product, before applying. A little goes a long way. I find it absorbs very nicely into my dry skin, and does not look or feel greasy. But if you don’t have dry skin, I could see how it might be too oily. The tint works very well on most of my face. Where I need a bit more actual coverage on my nose and the dark spots on my jawline, I blend in a little Jones Road cream foundation. The combination works beautifully together. I really hope they never stop making this product! Read more

I like moisturization without the shine. I’m very happy with this product. It gives me a finished complexion without being heavy or greasy. Read more

I’d say this product is fantastic if it was more hydrating. But, as it stands, it doesn’t “stick” to a (much needed) layered-skincare face. It leaves streaky, unfixable gaps during application, and as someone who’s post-menopausal with Sahara-dry skin, this formula isn’t designed for me, which is really unfortunate. As far as I can tell, you can get away with one, maybe two thin layers of other products beneath it—say, a lightweight moisturizer like Purito’s Oat-In cream beneath Purito’s Daily Go-To Sunscreen. Sadly, that doesn’t cut it for my skin. I feel like my face is cracking off by 10AM (I know because I’ve tried…). But if you have normal, combination, or just slightly dry skin, I believe this could work beautifully for you. My skin requires multiple layers, and as I also found with the Tarte Maracuja Tinted Moisturizer, these products just can’t handle a well-lubricated face. I think I’ve got to stick with my Salt New York Sneaky Balm cream makeup to get the results I’m looking for—it looks like skin, only more flawless, youthful, and hydrated. And it can handle my layers of multiple skincare products to keep my skin plump and healthy, and not send my sensory issues over dryness into overdrive. I was hoping to expedite some mornings’ complexion-evening process with a quick tint like this, but it’s feeling like a fool’s errand at this point. 🙁 Hopefully you’ll have better luck than I did!

Love this for my older skin Read more

I’ve gotten better tinted moisturizer from CVS. It’s just kind of caked on the top of my skin and did not blend in. I wish I could get my money back. Read more

This is a fantastic product. It has a nice matte finish, not shiny at all like many tinted moisturizers. My skin feels good all day. It is a great color for super pale skin which is really hard to find. Great Product! Read more

It's a good sheer lotion with a nice tint to it. goes on nicely. Stays on pretty good. Read more

This is NOT moisturizing whatsoever. There’s clay in the ingredients which doesn’t surprise me with how mattefying yet seemingly oily it gets after a good 4 hours. It clings to any dry skin you have and the streaks show where you rubbed it in. I have to even add my own SPF or face lotion to get this stuff to not look so cakey on my face. Wish it was nicer quality stuff! :/ Read more
