This is a love hate product...On one hand it does help smooth the skin ready from makeup and makes the makeup last longer but on the other hand it doesn't take the redness away. I mean its not a huge problem for me as I haven't got lots of redness, but for someone who wants this to take away redness, you would be disappointed. I bought this at a professional beauty show, so it was a lot cheaper for me, but I think its still a cheap product.
