FAQ
Q. Can the Abib Glutathione CC Sunscreen be used foundation-free?
Reviews in the foundation-free or bare-skin context are common at 149, and some say they use it without cushion. However, there are also reviews on lack of coverage (23) and low-rated reviews saying pores were emphasized, so it may fall short if you expect coverage. Many use stories mention fixing blemishes with concealer.
Q. It doesn't tone up well for me — how should I apply it?
Since it's a formula whose color adjusts as the capsules burst, the advice that you need to roll it in thoroughly by hand recurs (79 mentions of color change and rolling). Some reviews also say that if you pat it straight away with a puff, the puff absorbs it.
Q. What shades does it suit?
28 reviews mention a shade, with shades 22–23 standing out. There are comments that it's bright right after application and then becomes natural, alongside comments that it looks yellowish or turns white. It differs by skin tone, so we recommend testing in store.
Q. Does it suit oily or dry skin?
There are reviews from oily skin saying oil comes up (42) and from dry skin saying it's dry and stiff (58). Olive Young's official 'good for combination skin' is 57%. See the reviews on using powder for oily skin and thorough moisturizing for dry skin.
Q. What about eye sting or irritation?
Olive Young's official 'gentle and low-irritation' is 66%, but 32 reviews mention breakouts or stinging and 21 mention eye sting. We recommend sensitive skin test a small amount. We don't guarantee safety.
