Pros:

Gives you coverage, moisturizer, and sun
screen all in one
Good for combination skin
Hasn't clog pores or caused breakouts
Evens out skin tone
Doesn't look like a thick layer of makeup and matches perfectly - if you're like me and your skin tone changes drastically depending on sun exposure, it's great because it will adjust quite a bit!

Cons:

Expensive
Won't give you a lot of coverage
It can get in your eyebrows and look a bit funny if you let it

I love this product. Actually, I am a huge fan of everything Almay makes in the foundation/concealer/powder department. My biggest complaint with this product is that it is expensive - although it looks like I am paying way more than other people...maybe because I'm in Canada? Sounds like some people have a problem with the colour, but I always get a perfect match from Almay (maybe because I have olive skin, so it works well with golden undertones where perhaps it might not with pink?) However, if you don't spread it over your face while it's still white the match isn't as good. I go through several bottles a year and I wear it almost every day, and I see no reason why that will change!
