Hi, I use the Boots 17 one and I find it's great. However, if you rub it one too hard it will go lumpy or patchy so start with nice clean hands, put your normal moisturiser on (I have used Astral for 30 years - i'm now 44) then put the tinted over the top. do it it nice sweeping movements from your forehead, going across-ways, and moving down the face. You can finsh off giving it a very light brush over with a nice fat artists brush (I bought one when I found I couldnt afford the Mac make up brush). the good thing about this tinted moisturiser is that it has SPF15 too.
