I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...



Thoughts:


Strong fragrance

I think when sweating, it turned patchy

Layering or mixing with other creams didn't work well, started to turn patchy at some point ( I tried to fix the color little because I tanned for summer)

- I think the reason I didn't finish the last drops of the Max Factor CC cream tube was the color that was not quite right as I got tanned and undertone wasn't yellow enough for me, also I favored the consistency of Lumene CC Cream that was more liquid



I quite liked this CC cream! It's been a while I used it of course, but I remember, it was an easy choice in the morning

Quite natural, powdery finish, very good for oily skin

Good staying power, especially with powder (that I used to use everyday)

I think I layered the cream successfully on my problem areas and it covered redness and pimples well

I don't think the cream ever caused me any problems skin wise but I have always had acne so it would've been impossible to tell anyway, but I would remember if it would've made me even more oily or dry

Good that it has even a little SPF because I didn't use any sunscreen before, so a little is more than none!



* So, this CC cream is not apparently available anymore, I just found the quite empty tube in my stash and want to add it to my notebook if it's going to be useful for buying new cc creams in the future

I remember I bought it when all the bb and cc creams were a new thing and every brand seemed to put out one

I could repurchase Max Factor's CC cream if it still existed. I'll have to take a look if they have a new line or something, I'm so out of the loop!

The ingredients I found on cosdna with the name "Max factor cc cream" from 2016 so I hope they are the correct ones. Why is it so impossible to find ingredients for products, I just ask? No reviews ever mention them, not brand's own site, not the resellers!



Price: 

Probably 10-15 € / 30 ml?

Bought from: 

Supermarket?

Buy again? 

Impossible! Discontinued.

Worth the money? 

Yes, I think so even though I didn't quite finish it. But it was my own fault for getting the wrong shade.
