~~About the Product~~
Bare Escentuals promote all natural minerals and vitamins in their products and this is what attract most people to the products because it is claimed it is the 1st make-up that you would acutally be able to sleep in without making your skin dry/greasy, spotty and unpleasant.

The BareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper it is claimed is a special blend of glycolic and salicylic acids and botanical extracts, however, these are not "natural" minerals but in fact chemicals that when I brought the product the shop assistant stated would act as a peel on my skin. Slightly concerning to be perfectly honest when I suffer from sensitive skin but she assured me that it wouldn't be bad on my skin and so I gave it a try.

~~How to use it~~
The product is suppose to be used after toning but before moisturizing to make the skin smooth and rid it of dead skin (is this not what a moisturizer and exfoliator does anyway?)

It is a thin cream based substance and a maximum of two squirts is all that's required to get full facial coverage. It dries really quickly so that you don't get a pasting affect mixing it with your moisturizer.
It can be warn without using moisturizer and is recommended to be used morning and night.

Because it is a cream based product it does not need to be removed because it has absorbed into the skin hence the reason it is difficult to remove, however, if trying to remove it before it has dried it comes right away with a tissue.

It is not suppose to be visible and blends into the skin really easily meaning you don't even have to worry if you leave a blob on your face because it absorbs soon enough. Again with regards to length of coverage because it absorbs into the skin it stays on for a very long time.

The specific criteria questions are quite difficult to answer because they have little relevance to this actual product but have been answered as best as they can be.

~~The Price~~
If I'm honest I would not have brought this product had it not been for the fact that it was part of a starter kit for Bare Escentuals products. I think at nearly £24 a bottle it is over-priced for what it does and while a little goes a long way and it lasts ages if you are trying to save money then just don't buy it.

~~Conclusion~~
It's great to try if you get it as part of a Bare Escenutals starter kit but otherwise I wouldn't bother. While it does have chemicals in it thus far I have not experienced any problems with it but I don't use it every day. It's quite pricey and I don't notice any difference when I don't use it to when I do.
