I'm pale and I have cuperose on my cheeks (it looks awful, I know)) and I like the SAEM products so I decided to buy this green makeup base to neutralize my problem. It works! sure, it will not do miracles and will not make your redness disappear. But! it will make it less visible and will even out the skin tone. Also, it's long- lasting enough for my combination skin (5 hours is a good result, isn't it?) And it seems like it cools down my skin a bit. Nice product :)
