Not effective enough for me to buy again

Before going cruelty-free, the cosmetician at my drug store recommended this product to me to keep my foundation from looking flaky throughout the day. Unfortunately, I found it did just the opposite, and also whitened my face to a greater degree (and I don't need to be any whiter, thanks!). I didn't use up much of the product before I gave up on it and realized I have better/cheaper options.
