But the thing is, this product is so, so much more than just a foundation. It&#8217;s a concealer, foundation, and skin-treatment hybrid, which means you&#8217;ll get three steps of your routine checked off in one fell swoop. And who doesn&#8217;t love a multi-purpose product?! With a little creative math (I refuse to call it &#8220;girl math&#8221;), you&#8217;re basically saving money.<\/p>\n<p>The formula is made with a botanical compound that corrects three of the main culprits behind visible signs of aging\u2014melanin (which contributes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dr-dennis-gross-ultimate-defense-sunscreen\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dr-dennis-gross-ultimate-defense-sunscreen\/\">dark spots<\/a>), hemoglobin (which makes skin red and splotchy), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-much-collagen-should-you-take\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-much-collagen-should-you-take\/\">collagen loss<\/a> (which causes fine lines and wrinkles). As someone in their mid-30s who deals with all of these issues, I&#8217;m endlessly grateful to have found a product that addresses them without requiring me to add any additional steps to my routine; I like the product because it immediately makes my skin look brighter and more even, and the fact that it&#8217;s working overtime to keep it that way after I take off my makeup is a much-appreciated added benefit. What&#8217;s more, it also offers antioxidant protection to prevent free radical damage, so it&#8217;s essentially combatting both current <em>and\u00a0<\/em>future signs of skin aging.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alleven-instant-perfector\/\" current-title=\"This \u2018Instant Perfector\u2019 Replaces My Foundation and Concealer And Fades My Dark Spots While I Wear It\" current-image=\"GettyImages-1389546004-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-03-18\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alleven-instant-perfector\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alleven-instant-perfector\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alleven-instant-perfector\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most of the skin-care-infused complexion products I&#8217;ve tried are more &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/skin-tints\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/skin-tints\/\">skin tints<\/a>&#8221; than traditional foundations, meaning that they offer minimal coverage and need to be paired with a heavy-duty concealer to hide my discoloration. This one, however, is a true medium-coverage, buildable product, and can be used entirely on its own. It comes with a doe-foot applicator that I like to dot directly on my skin, concealer-style, then blend out with my fingers (I typically use a Beautyblender, but have found that this formula goes on better with skin-to-skin contact). It offers an even finish that toes the line between dewy and matte and looks like <em>skin<\/em> when it dries. It feels so natural that, despite offering hefty coverage, it feels like I&#8217;m wearing nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been testing The Alleven Instant Perfector through the hottest days of summer and can confirm that it lives up to its promise of being sweat and transfer-proof. I love that even on 90+ degree afternoons (which have recently been happening <em>a lot<\/em> in NYC) I don&#8217;t have to worry about my makeup melting off\u2014this stuff stays on all damn day, and nourishes my skin in the process. In the two months since I&#8217;ve been wearing it, I&#8217;ve noticed a real difference in the appearance of my dark spots long after I&#8217;ve washed my face.<\/p>\n<p>Though I may only have five minutes to dedicate to my makeup on a given day, this stuff helps me make that limited mirror time really count.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
