I'm using this cream from last 6 months, and this cream is everything for my face when I go out. First I apply moisturizer and then ponds bb cream it protects my skin from sun cos it contains 15 spf and best substitute of foundation. After applying this you don't need to apply any makeup base just put your compact or whatever you apply for setting your face and yeah it's done! It helps my skin tone to look even and lasts for maximum four hours. It does not show any side effects yet, and I'm sure it has no side effects.
