I used to wear Prescriptives because my dermatologist insisted that they were the only brand that was "truly" noncomedogenic. (But when Prescriptives left my town I switched to other brands.) I never tried their custom blend (amazingly their regular foundations actually matched my skin) .... I used to wear their Traceless foundation after they discontinued the first one I wore, but it was so sheer I might as well not have worn foundation at all. Not worth the $27
However maybe their other foundations with more coverage are still good!
