This was an interesting product. A friend gave this to me because it broke her skinout. Luckily for me, this did not. This is basically a moisturizer that acts as a tone up cream. It does contain zinc oxide but this one acts as an astringent and used to sooth the skin form irritation which is what is the whole line is about. It’s acts a base for your makeup or it soothes your skin before applying anything else.
