MAC describe this product as a quick fix that "boosts dull, flat or tired-looking skin." I totally agree with this description and love to use the cream underneath makeup as a moisturising primer or mixed in with my foundation to give a lit from within glow. As my skin is quite oily over the centre of my face, on days that I use this, I can use it in place of a separate moisturiser and my skin still feels soft and plump. If your skin is very dry I'd imagine it wouldn't quite provide enough hydration by itself. Wayne Goss did a video way back in 2011 about this MAC cream, about how it isn't just an illuminating product but one that also contains antioxidants that benefit the skin. He also talks about the different ways this can be used as touched on above and basically sums up why I love it. It's a cult status product by MAC and deservedly so. The only negative for me is the price, currently £25 for 50ml although you can also get a MAC Mini (30ml) for £12 and MAC often offer samples with orders from their websites. Show less
