jane iredale HydroPure Tinted Serum: weightless, but my skin doesn't tolerate it
Very sheer, weightless coverage, but I feel it gives me papules and pustules, and that's the worst part. I prefer Chanel Water-Fresh Tint. Rating 2.5/5.

jane iredale for sensitive skin and rosacea
jane iredale is an American mineral makeup brand founded by Jane Iredale and based in Massachusetts. It calls itself "the skincare makeup": formulas with mineral pigments and skincare ingredients, cruelty-free (recognised by PETA and Leaping Bunny). For sensitive skin and redness the most interesting line is HydroPure, a tinted serum and a green colour-correcting serum with hyaluronic acid and CoQ10.
My experience is solid: the HydroPure green serum neutralises redness nicely without leaving my skin redder afterwards, and the tinted serum is light and weightless. Both have to go on completely dry skin, and as a tint I still prefer Chanel Water-Fresh Tint. A good choice if you want mineral makeup for reactive skin.
Patents and testing (according to the brand): jane iredale doesn't cite patents or clinical tests with subject numbers for the HydroPure serums. The brand says it is the makeup line most recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the US, and that the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends seven of its SPF products.
jane iredale HydroPure Color Correcting Serum: a green serum that calms redness
It nicely neutralises redness, not quite like Erborian CC Red Correct, but it helps. Hyaluronic acid and CoQ10 are a plus, the downside is that it pills on damp skin. Rating 3.5/5.
