My Skin but Better
I'm absolutely in love with the Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence! It's the perfect balance between lightweight coverage and deep hydration. The texture feels like a refreshing gel, and it blends effortlessly into my skin, leaving it smooth, radiant, and healthy-looking. I use it as the first st...

VERY DISSAPOINTING!!!
It was great when I first started using it 3 years ago. The quality of the product has dramatically decreased and the product has doubled in price! Very disappointed that I had to quit using it. It had perfect weight coverage but does not VERany longer. Too sheer for aging skin, their target m...

Effortless daily wear
I bought this because i didnt want to pay for the product it was supposedly duping. Lo and behold, it had become ine of my holy grail products for every day use. Its so light weight and easy to work with. It also has a surprising amount of coverage for the medium but always looks like your skin but better. Than being said, if youre oily, prime your face properly.

This foundation is really cool and interesting looking. It's very lightweight and easy to remove. For the heavier blemished areas, I do have to use a foundation that is a little thicker with better coverage. But it blends well and you can't even tell. It's nice for me because a lot of times I don't want to wear the heavier foundation, so the two together work for different needs nicely.
Great formula!

Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation is a great foundation for those who don't like the feel of a traditional foundation! It contains Bakuchiol which works great for me to plump skin and leave it looking and feeling refreshed. In my opinion the shades are a bit light compared to other covergirl products, I am usually a light neutral but that was too light for me by at least 1 shade, the tone was correct though. It feels great on your skin, lightweight like a tinted moisturizer. It may not seem like it but it does have fairly good coverage and doesn't seem to settle in lines or make my texture horribly noticeable. Almost smells like an after sun gel, aloe like. Pump seems to work great so far!

Unlike other watery skin tints that don't cover anything, I noticed right away that this foundation actually adheres to my skin and offers a surprising amount of coverage. It definitely feels more present on my face, leaving a very rich, hydrated, and juicy sensation instead of a weightless or matte finish. It does an amazing job at evening out my skin tone, and the packaging and cost are great. However, because it has so much presence and pigment, picking the wrong shade made the color mismatch stand out completely on me. I definitely need to get my correct tone to fully enjoy it!
