Details & care

What it is: A complexion-boosting formula in drops form for breathable coverage and radiance while improving bare-skin quality.

What it does: Complexion-boosting drops made with potent skin care instantly hydrate and even tone while improving texture, firmness and radiance over time. Glides on like a lightweight oil and transforms into a cushiony serum for dewy, facial-fresh skin long after it's washed off.

Research results:
In a consumer study on 32 participants:
- 100% agreed skin felt hydrated - even after product is removed after one use.
- 97% agreed bare skin felt smoother and soothed after one use.
- 97% agreed bare skin looked healthier after one use.
- 97% saw a visible reduction of pores on bare skin after two weeks of use.
- 97% agreed bare skin felt firmer after two weeks of use.
- 100% agreed bare skin looked brighter and more luminous after two weeks of use.

How to use: For a more refined finish, use a liquid brush. For added coverage, layer on with foundation to conceal and spot check. To set and reduce excess shine, use with a pressed powder. The foundation is formulated without fragrance; any scent is due to a blend of natural ingredients and disappears upon application.

Love This Product Love This Line

The only negative - no sunscreen. Please make a version with spf. Very important to follow directions and shake well before using product. I use about three drops. The color is spot on and the coverage is flawless. I have very reactive skin and also suffer from rosacea and I can use this product without any issues. I also don’t find the smell unpleasant. I use this foundation alone at night in the summer and with the foundation stick in the winter.

Smells like rancid cooking oil

I so wanted to love this because I really like a very light thin consistency to just enhance my skin. But after an hour I smelled this awful smell and realized it was the drops. It smells like rancid oil. Really disgusting and can't get past it. So disappointing!

Great product - Bottle clogs?

Love the product, but this is my second one (fool me twice) that the bottle just stops dispensing as if it’s clogged a couple weeks into using it. Is anyone else experiencing this? On my first bottle I thought it was a fluke. Second bottle…this is a packaging flaw.

Unbearable smell and not good for oily skin

I pretty much only exclusively wear westman products on my face and love all of them, so it was extremely exciting when I found out she was coming out with this product. Unfortunately, the smell is truly unbearable. It really is so strong and it lingers for hours unlike most other products where the smell dissipates after a little while. On top of that, this product makes your skin EXTREMELY shiny / oily after about 1.5 hours. Sadly, the only product of hers I will not be repurchasing.

So light and feels elegant

I was introduced to this brand on February of this year. Had a make up session with Imelda (February) and with Maria recently. I loved the feeling of I have a make up on, easy to apply and most of all is that it is not feeling so heavy on my face. I’m not a make up person, but after I tried Westman Atelier brand I switch to it now. Worth every penny.

great product faulty dispenser

This was my first time buying the vital drops and I’m not disappointed! The coverage feels light but conceals well. It even covered redness around my cheeks and nose from rosacea. However, I could not dispense the drops even with great force. I ended up using a mini screwdriver to widen the hole. It now comes out perfectly - not too fast so as to waste product. Even though I found a solution and will continue using it, I expect better dispensers at this price point.

innaccurate ingredients!

You left off some of the actual ingredients on the site!!! I purposely looked for a product without TITANIUM DIOXIDE and that’s why I ordered. When I opened the box and saw the teeny tiny box that listed TITANIUM DIOXIDE as the last ingredient!

I Like This Product

I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. I was surprised about the many other reviews referring to a smell. I didn’t smell anything. You do need to vigorously shake the bottle before use. I have dry to medium skin, I do see how folks with oily skin may not appreciate it. It makes my old skin feel good!

CON

I can’t get past the smell - it’s horrendous. My my make up brush smell and I smelled it on me all day.

Vital Skin care foundation is ok

I was excited to try this from all the reviews I read and when they applied it on me at the store I fell in love with how it made my skin look- beautiful! I instantly bought it but 2 hours later it seemed like it just disappeared. I tried it the next couple of days and again looks beautiful on skin the first hour or so and then it just fades away. I wish its staying power lasted a few hours because it really looked pretty. Had to return this one sadly

Clogged dispenser and bad smell

I really wanted to love this product. There is a SERIOUS flaw with the packaging design. This should not happen for a product on this quality tier. I can barely get any oil out of the hard plastic small squeeze bottle. There is also a foul smell to the oil as others have mentioned. Not sure if that is intended or a product flaw but it's not good. I would not recommend this product as it was shipped to me.

Packaging breaks

The product itself is good, but the packaging breaks. This is apparently a known issue by the company and Westman Atelier refuses to do anything about it. They won't replace the product. They offered me a 15% discount to go buy another one. No thank you. It is too bad because it is good stuff, but I will never buy it again. Why would I?
