I tried all 3 lines of its loose powder at the counter. The lowest grade has shiny shiny base and I did not like it. The highest grade is very moist and I am not sure it would melt so I bought the middle grade (this one). It goes well with the cle de peau fluid foundation and it does not come off. I am not sure it has any skin care effect. The down sides are it makes the skin 1 tone lighter and it is not cheap for loose powder (but you can probably use it for 1 year if you use it everyday).
