I purchased this mineral illuminator many months ago and have been using it as my only "makeup" throughout the autumn and winter. I use it over the creosote mineral sunscreen, which is the only sunscreen my skin will tolerate. I am so grateful not to have to search anymore for sun products. I did not expect this powder to be anything special. In fact, I expected the cornstarch in it to make it "gritty" in some way, but to my surprise, this is my Holy Grail. It does not settle in my pores, lines, scars, etc.; it does not look powdery, and it wears well, absorbs oil, but does not dehydrate, and it really does illuminate. Also, a little goes a long way, as I still have some left in the jar and will reorder with my next bottle of sunscreen. I just received a new order of sunscreen, and with it, I decided to try the "Light Buff" Mineral Powder, which bestows the benefit of more oxides as the summer approaches. I look forward to using this and the "Light Buff" throughout the summer.
