I've used IT cosmetics cc cream for years but im find it's too heavy for my skin and now it settling into lines.
I started using gernier bb cream and it's really nice but it doesnt last beyond a few hrs with it being so light.

After a bit of a google i think i need ti go down the serum foubdation route.

Can anybody reccomend anything?

I’m a bit older than you at 49 and I swear by Erborian CC cream. It’s one of those ones that goes on white then colour-matches your skin. Sorts out lines & redness & is a miracle in a tube.

I’ve tried lots of different foundations and always go back to IT cosmetics CC cream. In the summer I often mix it with some of my usual serum to make it lighter and sheerer. You could try this before other serum type foundations?

Serum-style foundations or lighter skin tints usually work better because they move with the skin more naturally. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or lightweight silicones.
