I received a sample of this product so was only able to try it once. The scent was refreshing but surprisingly strong (citrus, mint, chamomile & green tea apparently). It is supposed to reduce redness and pores but I didn't really notice it doing either. It did however reduce some of the shine on my skin without over drying it which was good as I applied it over my moisturizer and under my foundation as I would a makeup primer. In another review elsewhere it was mentioned that the product had a slight greenish colouring which was meant to combat the redness but to me the product just looked white so I would imagine you'd have to have next to no redness for this product to work for your redness and then why bother. I feel like once your skin has enough redness that you are needing to seek out a product for it, it has already become too red for this product. It did however allow for a smoother finish helping with my foundation application.
