If you compare the amount with the price, it is a little expensive for a powder, but I believe it is worth the money. I haven't tried many loose powders, but so far this one has helped me with hold and longevity. It doesn't cause flashback in photos and generally makes the skin matte. Personally, I have oily and acne-prone skin, but I feel it is very light on the skin and it has never caused me breakouts by clogging my pores. I think it's worth trying since it doesn't come in a large package either.
