Reader interest in this anti-ageing foundation, designed to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles while working to prevent the visible signs of ageing, led us to test it out. And we like it. The silky smooth liquid glides on easily and yes, it did in fact create an airbrushed appearance with a certain ‘dewy’ quality. It’s packed full of powerful ingredients that help plump skin and fill-in lines, while Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection and SPF 15 protects against sun damage. All round, a very good foundation buy for ageing skin.
