I am a HUGE Urban Decay fan, so I was extra sad that I didn't like this foundation.
PROS: light-weight matte powder finish, silky smooth-feeling application, no-mess dropper top
CONS: looks cakey/uneven, accentuates creases/pores, not moisturizing (very dry feeling)
I have dry mature skin. Typically, I use a primer, but I tested without primer (product claims primer is not needed) - it definitely needs a primer. It built up around my wrinkles/pores, making them more pronounced and giving a very uneven finish.
Product claims "buildable coverage" but I found it just built up in a bad way, but the coverage remained light and uneven.
It's supposed to be moisturizing, but it just wasn't. In all fairness, my skin is VERY dry, so I tend to need creamier products.
The matte powder finish is lovely (if only it was more even). From a distance, it does look nice. But up close (like IRL normal distance), it is very uneven/cakey.
Definitely would not recommend for dry/mature skin.

I have 2 kiddos with eczema/sensitive skin. I tested the Rescue Carr on both of them (on a mild eczema patch). They both complained that it left a sticky residue and they didn't like the feeling, but that "yucky" feeling passed after a few minutes... +
I have 2 kiddos with eczema/sensitive skin. I tested the Rescue Carr on both of them (on a mild eczema patch). They both complained that it left a sticky residue and they didn't like the feeling, but that "yucky" feeling passed after a few minutes. I'm not sure it's actually helped the eczema patches, but it definitely didn't "instantly soothing and cool" for either of them. I think the "sticky" was too annoying for them to feel relief. But it didn't irritate/exacerbate, so it might work well for someone who is not so bothered by the "sticky" feeling. It's worth keeping it in the cupboard and we'll give it another go later (because kids have moods. Lol)
We have used (and loved) other Aveeno products, but this one falls a little short, to be honest.

It doesn't smell bad (or like anything at all), it applies smoothly, and doesn't leave a sticky feeling behind.
