Since entering my 30s, I’ve become well-acquainted with fine lines—which, as makeup wearers over a certain age will know, can inhibit foundation application. In an effort to reclaim the smooth complexion I enjoyed in my 20s, I’ve been seeking hydrating formulas—the likes of which soften the appearance of fine lines, plump skin, and combat age-related dryness. My current holy grail hails from a brand Oprah, Fran Drescher, and Vanna White have used: Laura Geller. Designed to address common concerns among people with mature skin types, its Better Than ‘Block Skincare-Infused Serum Foundation resists creasing, defies caking, and delivers a bevy of anti-aging skin care ingredients.

You can snag the formula—plus other fan-favorite products from the brand—at 20 percent off when with the code INSTYLE20 at checkout. The code applies to everything on the site, (including already-discounted items!). Hurry, because the reader-exclusive sale ends May 3. 

Laura Geller Better Than ‘Block Skincare-Infused Serum Foundation

True to its name, Laura Geller’s Better Than ‘Block Skincare-Infused Serum Foundation contains skin-treating ingredients with complexion-enhancing properties. The tinted, skin-enhancing serum foundation imparts an instant, even-toned finish with buildable, natural-looking coverage. Fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types, the formula conceals sunspots and ruddiness without looking mask-like or cakey. Expect radiant, second skin-like wear that feels breathable.

The formula has vitamin E-rich sunflower seed oil, which smooths skin with its emollient texture. Niacinamide—a B vitamin known for its tone-evening and many other skin-boosting properties—is also present. Finally, the formula contains rosehip oil, an ingredient known to stimulate collagen production.

The formula also contains SPF 50, making it a win for anyone seeking a more streamlined morning routine (because sunscreen is always a must). Given that sun damage is responsible for approximately 80 percent of visible skin aging, the product’s protection factor makes it a win, too. 

One shopper said the foundation is “exactly what [they] need” to speed up their morning routine, adding that the formula has a “great finish and staying power.”  Another reviewer, who is over 65, noted that it applies “evenly,” stays intact “all day,” and “doesn’t cake” or accentuate their wrinkles. I concur, and plan to stock up on the formula while it’s on sale.

For smoothing coverage and a side of line-smoothing, skin-plumping skin care, shop the Laura Geller Better Than ‘Block Skincare-Infused Serum Foundation. Then, snag more shopper-favorites below before they return to full price—just use code INSTYLE20 at checkout.
