Since I found this product, I don't want to use anything else. I call it magic in a bottle. I don't use it as 'make-up' as much as I use it for healing the skin AND having good coverage at the same time. I am very careful not to use make-up that has pore clogging ingredients. My teenage son is acne prone and I even spot treat bumps with this because it provides oxygen to the skin while giving it great coverage at the same time, and it looks like we are not wearing anything. It just looks like we have great skin. It goes on like silk, it has SPF 25 broad spectrum, has no pore clogging ingredients, a moisturizer, and is transfer resistant and stays on all day. What more can one ask for? It's worth every penny, although I need to be careful with it's use. If I use it only for light coverage it can last a couple months, heavy coverage, much less.

I am really loving this stuff! It is very easy to apply, i was using a foundation brush, but I have found that when I spread with my fingers like a tinted moisturizer it looks just as good. I do a thin application all over, let it dry a bit and add a bit more for under eyes, blotches and pimples, and this seems to work for me. It has a nice gel like texture, and it feels good on my skin all day. I think (?) i have been getting fewer blackheads on my nose lately using this... and i have been getting lots of compliments on my skin- love that! It looks so much prettier than my mineral powder foundation, it really mimics bare skin very well..
I have been using this as my SPF as well, and putting sunscreen powder over it to boost SPF- hasnt been really sunny yet but so far so good. It is UVA/UVB SPF 25.
The color I use is Pearl, and it is a tad more golden than my skin, but this works well to hide redness. I never tried Lycogel, but i dont think I will bother, I'm pretty happy with this
The pump gives me a good amount of product, starts to look a bit gunky after a while and needs a wipe w/ alcohol. The only cons are its hard to find and expensive.Over all this is my new HG, I'll def cough up the money for this and scrimp elsewhere...

I am a former Dermacia user. I began using Oxygenetix a little over a year ago and in my opinion its superior to Dermacia. Though I used it, I found Dermacia to be on the dry, thick and heavy side. I had to mix it with Dermacia face moisturizer to get it to glide on properly. Oxygenetix goes on like silk and gives a flawless finish. It is a bit thinner than Dermacia but it IS buildable. I have very sensitive skin and Oxygenetix is the only foundation that I can use. It even gets rid of the redness in my skin. It covers pores beautifully and it looks natural. I apply a little on the back of my hand and then apply it to my face with a bush using my fingers to blend. Its soothly and healing and as far as I'm concerned there is nothing that can compare to it out there.
Oxygenetix Moisturizer is also a wonderful product. A little goes a long way and I use it at night before I go to bed and under my Oxygenetix foundation periodically.
I love these products.

I decided to try this foundation because the inventor/developer also invented Dermacia/Lycogel liquid foundaitons (and I love-love-love them, except for the clog-prone pump bottles).

Pros:
Non-clogging air pump
good color match (I chose "creme" for my NC15-20 skin and it was a good match)
Long wearing (as long wearing as Lycogel)
Breathable
Cons:
Coverage was not up to par with Lyclgel. It didn't give me the same kind of coverage - enough to even out the mild rosaecea on my cheeks. I'd say that it's light coverage and not very buildable, at all. I added the foundation 3x to my cheeks and could still see pink. Good drugstore foundations look better on me than this $65 spa foundation. I tried a sponge, foundation brush, and fingers. Nothing worked.

Odor - this foundation has the faint, but distinct odor of acetone. It disappears after a minute, but still... acetone? Think of a cotton ball soaked with nail polish remover and left to dry. That's the smell.

For the same price nothing beats Lycogel SPF 30. You get flawless, dewy, breathable coverage that lasts all day. I'm sorry I strayed.
