Dior Snow UV Illuminating Protective Base

I can't use this.. i tried it at the counter and ant home with a lot of whiteheads

The one I'm reviewing is DiorSnow Pure UV Perfect Brightening Protective UV Base, SPF 50 PA +++. This is HG sunscreen/primer for me. It's very expensive, yes, but a little goes a long way (spreads well; I use about a pea-sized amount for my whole face and that's enough to give a good layer). I've had my tube for over a year. This is amazing: it doesn't cause breakouts for …Read more

UPDATE: Unfortunately had to return this. I really did love it, but eventually started breaking out from it. Boo.

I think I have a new version of this. Mine is called Perfect Brightening Protective UV Base SPF 50 and it is awesome. I am a sunscreen junkie and have tried just about everything out there from high end to low. This is by far the best I've found. It reminds me of …Read more

Eeeek! This stuff was horrible, and what a price aswell! I don't mind shelling out the extra cash if its a good product, but this stuff is horrible! DEFINATLEY not for oily skin, or sensitive skin. It leaves a horrible sticky, shiney film on the face and it has a purpleish hue to it that looks odd. The only way I can see this "brightening" the skin is because it actually has …Read more

I absolutely love this product and can't live without it. With SPF35, it evens out the skin tone naturally and beautifully, also gives this lovely glow. The base itself is white but goes on sheer and blurs the impurity, gives wonderfully radiant skin. Even though it's too runny for the tube package, I still like how it's runny because it spreads and blends in better, and …Read more

It is also SPF 35 so I figured I'd get a base and a sunscreen all in one! But this made my skin break out horribly - turns out the type of sunscreen that is used can cause an allergic reaction. EEK!!

When applied, this looks purplish on my face, a very light lavender colour. The texture is sticky and oily though it is oil-free. It left my face with a flim of shine.
Don't see any added benefit as a primer.The whitening properties don't seem to work. My pigmentation didn't improve.
The SPF35 is nothing to shout about; I prefer Shisedo's Anassea SPF50.

The product does give you a nice glow if wearing loose powder on top of it; you would get a weird pinkish white look if wearing it alone. Never do this. It is also easy to apply and last you a long time. Will buy it again if nothing else catches my eyes this summer.

Bright, glazy, oil-free, sun-screen. If you have an oily skin, it might make your entire face shine, even though it did not cause any breakouts for my combination skin. But for normal to dry skin, this would be excellent under makeup since it really evens out the skin tone. I like it overall.

It's slightly pink but a lot more runny. So runny, in fact, that it shouldn't be in the kind of tube it's in -- the liquid tends to pour out too much. Because of the texture …Read more
