Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact Lightweight Cream Foundation Makeup with Vitamin E Antioxidants, Non-Greasy Foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF 55, Classic Ivory 10,.35 oz

Ordered Nude 40 for my medium asian skin and it looks amazing. I actually just apply w my fingers as to not waste any product, but I can see how ppl are annoyed that there is no sponge included.I wanted a high spf chemical sunscreen foundation that will block uv and blue light. This is great for touchups and full face use. I usually apply a chemical spf moisturizer and use this bc they are compatible as the minerals used (titanium oxide and iron oxides) are coated and formulated together w the spf. so I'm not mixing different types of sunscreens and degrading the chemical spf moisturizer in the process.Still looking for a mineral sunscreen that doesn't feel like I painted oil on my face.

I have fair, easily sunburned skin and this product is great for the SPF 50; and the coverage is better than a liquid foundation. I still wear a hat and try to be careful when out in the sun, but I haven't gotten sunburned once when I've used this product even when I've been on the go all day outdoors sightseeing and enjoying the seaside views from hiking trails. It comes with a sponge the same round size as the product and is separated from the product by a mirror compartment. The compact can be easily carried with you. I apply a moisturizer to my face and neck first and let that absorb in for a few minutes, then I put the product on with the included sponge, dabbing it around my face and neck lightly then I use a foundation brush to blend it evenly to my hairline and down my neck. It doesn't show my fine lines and looks very natural on me this way and also helps to conceal my rosacea. This is not a treatment for rosacea, you have to see a dermatologist for treatment, but as a cosmetic this is good and doesn't irritate my rosacea prone skin. I have been wearing this foundation for over a year now and I'm almost to the end of my second compact, I haven't had any problems with the product at all and I'd recommend it to anyone with fair, sensitive, skin. I think the hardest thing is to choose the right shade for your skin. I've used the lighter shade, natural ivory, and the buff, they are very slightly different in color. With both shades I've noticed that if I apply it too heavily it doesn't look right to me.

I've used this product for years. I love how creamy it is, it feels like it is moisturizing my skin as well as protecting it from sun. However, the last two times I've ordered there has been no makeup sponge in the compact. Very disappointing. Just opened the last one ordered, and I have no sponge to use :-(

I want this product back. It’s so sad that they have manufacturing this.

This compact cream foundation isn’t as creamy as expected.It feels a bit dry during application and doesn’t blend well on dry skin. I wouldn’t recommend it for those with dry or dehydrated skin types.

I love this product. It is a cream foundation in a compact that provides good coverage. I find I can put a second layer over the first for the dark circles under my eyes or discolorations that I want to hide. It is creamy not powdery which some people may not like, but since I tend toward dry skin, the extra moisture is great for my skin type. I used to wear Mary Kay Day Radiance Cream but it was discontinued several years ago and I have been searching for a similar product. I don't care that it doesn't come with an applicator sponge because I find using my fingers to apply it works best for me anyway.

I use this product because I have terrible melasma (dark spots) after 5 pregnancies. Neutrogena covers it up better than 99% of the other products I've found and the SPF 55 is a necessity for me to keep my melasma from darkening in the sun. I use this daily. A little advice to make it last longer: apply it using a flat silicone makeup applicator rather than the sponge applicator included in the package. I've found this to be helpful for ALL of my foundations and creams! Not only do the sponge applicators absorb the oils from your skin (which you would ideally wash often), but I can't believe how much of the makeup ends up living inside the sponge (or being washed down the drain if you wash the sponge.) The silicone applicator is SO much easier to clean, doesn't absorb any of the oils/dirt from your skin, and, most importantly for me, it requires you to use a LOT less of the makeup because a silicone sponge doesn't absorb any of the product that's meant to be put on your skin. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact Makeup will be in my makeup bag as long as they keep making it, especially since I can buy it online for less than the local stores charge AND I've found a more efficient way to apply it that makes each compact last an extra few days.

If they are no longer going to provide the applicator sponge, they need to redo the packaging so it doesn't appear as though it should contain one behind the mirror AND retake the product photos that show one in the container right where it is supposed to be, in the applicator sponge compartment behind the mirror. This is misleading and borders upon false advertising not to mention I have never in 40 years of using makeup received compact foundation or any makeup product for that matter without a way to apply it included! At least if I had known I could have ordered something to be here when it arrived, now I can't use it until I get sponges! Looking back at the post it does say applicator brush not included, but I didn't expect a brush with compact foundation so had I seen that I would have thought it showed a separate type of application brush in the photos...it should say no application "tool" included or application sponge shown in photos no longer included, customer must purchase separately!
