FAQ
Yes, totally. Shade 04 Dark has been designed for dark to very dark skins, with warm, golden or neutral undertones.
It is ideal for brown, black or mixed-race skin tones, which brown easily in the sun. Its fluid texture and glowy finish enhance the complexion without brightening or graying.
No, not at all. Unlike some tinted products that "greying" the complexion, La Crique's formula has been developed with pigments adapted to darker skins.
The color blends perfectly into the skin, with no ashy or oxidized effect. Result: an even, warm, luminous complexion.
If you have combination to oily skin, you can lightly fix the T-zone with a mattifying powder clean.
You can also superimpose a drop of tinted serum only on the areas to be illuminated (cheekbones, forehead, nose). The idea? Maintain a natural glow without shine.
Yes, it's a great idea if you want an even lighter look. You can mix the tinted serum with your moisturizer, your facial SPF, or even a few drops of oil.
This allows you to create a clean, ultra-fluid homemade BB cream, perfect for sunny or makeup-free days.
No. Thanks to its formula rich in hyaluronic acid, it instantly moisturizes and softens.
If you have drier areas, remember to prepare your skin with a serum or cream before application. Tinted serum melts into the skin without flaking or clinging, even on the most dehydrated areas.
The shade 03 Medium is designed for medium to dark skins that tan easily, with olive or golden undertones.
Shade 04 Dark is ideal if your skin is brown to dark, with little sunburn, and you want to avoid grayish undertones. You can test the shade on your jawline in natural light to confirm the right match.
Don't hesitate to ask us for advice directly via our social networks(Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok) or via our contact form to find the shade that suits you best.
Yes, absolutely. The sponge allows application to blend even more smoothly into the skin, especially if you want a super-natural look.
Lightly dampen your sponge, take a small amount of product and pat it onto your face. This is also a good option if you want to modulate coverage without a heavy look.
Yes! You can apply a first coat to even out your complexion, then add a second coat to target certain areas (furrows, nose contour, spots).
The light, fluid texture allows for seamless layering.

The product has a great formula, but it's too rich for my combination skin. My skin gets way too shiny, and it feels like there's an oily film on my skin. Unfortunately, this product isn't for me.

I discovered this brand, and in particular the Tinted Serum through Crys4inc on Instagram last year, but I took many months before buying as I was afraid of the few shades on offer.... If only I'd known before!
I'm wearing shade n°3, which blends perfectly on my mixed-race skin. The texture is fluid enough to work easily with the finger.
The coverage is light but gives an immediate healthy-glow effect. I complete the look by "sculpting" the face with the illuminator and then that's it.
My complexion is so fresh and luminous, I can't believe it!

I love this serum—it’s the best. It doesn’t feel greasy once applied; it’s luminous and provides enough coverage (for me) without looking cakey. It smells great. The color is perfect—I bought two shades so I can match them in both winter and summer and mix them together.
I’m sold on the product, but unfortunately not on the bottle—the opening is too narrow, and the pipette scrapes against it when you put it back in.
The product leaks a lot; you end up wasting some, and you have to wipe it down regularly or it gets everywhere (see photo). I’m going to try transferring it to a container from another brand.
On the other hand, I also have the foundation primer, which comes in the same bottle, and I haven’t had any issues with it—it must have something to do with the product’s consistency.
If only this flaw could be fixed, because otherwise I’m not sure I’ll buy it again. It’s a shame because it’s really great.
So I’m only giving it 3 stars overall, but the serum deserves 5 stars—and even more!
Hello Hélène, thank you very much for your comment! We’re sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We’re currently working on improving the bottle to fix this issue. In the meantime, you can try removing the dispenser from the product. To do this: pull out the pipette and clean the neck of the bottle. The dispenser is a small part located at the neck of the bottle. Using your fingernails or a thin object, pry the dispenser loose from the neck and then remove it from the bottle. This should resolve the issue. Please let us know if this worked for you.

I've stopped using foundation and switched to a tinted serum. Mixed with my day cream, it gives me a healthy glow without looking heavy! It's perfect, especially as you get older.
C
I'm so happy with these discoveries from La Crique. I spotted the serum in the press! I ordered it and love it! Same goes for the blush, lip balm, and raspberry-tinted lip water!!! Thank you for these gorgeous, natural, and colorful products. The name and design are wonderful, too.
F
The finish is amazing, and it feels super light on the skin. I think it’s an incredible value—just a few drops are enough to cover your whole face, and the bottle is huge. Kudos on your pricing!
One star off because the foundation is a little too oily for me
A
This tinted serum is amazing—I have very dry skin, and it makes my skin feel so comfortable without leaving any residue. It blends perfectly with my skin, evens out my complexion, and minimizes my redness. Plus, the scent is truly addictive! I can’t live without it anymore!
K
It's too light a shade for my taste
N
I love the scent, and the texture is incredible—the serum gently minimizes blemishes and gives you a healthy glow! I highly recommend it!
m
Very comfortable to wear, lightweight, and moisturizing.
L
I’d been looking for a tinted serum with a natural, dewy finish for a long time, since I have dehydrated skin.
I’m a huge fan of this product!!! It gives me a healthy glow without looking overdone!
Be careful, though—the lightest shade is actually quite dark; it works for me in the summer, but it’s impossible to wear in the winter…
S
Great products
Fast and careful delivery
J
A great product that lives up to its promises. Just be careful—on the T-zone of my combination skin, it looks too shiny, so you'll need to set it with powder. Otherwise, the color is very pretty and natural, and it smells wonderful.
M
The serum is very pleasant to apply; the shade enhances my skin while still looking natural, giving it just the right amount of radiance. I have some blemishes, and the serum doesn't cover them up—but that wasn't the effect I was looking for, so I'm still satisfied.
M
This is a nice serum—it spreads easily and gives you a healthy glow. The shimmer isn't visible once it's blended in, which is nice. However, it doesn't cover up blemishes or even out skin texture; it just gives you a healthy glow.
S
Excellent—it's a great replacement for foundation. I'm so happy with it.
D
A great tinted serum. Gives you a healthy glow

I love it. I have oily skin and I was worried it would make my breakouts and blemishes worse. Not at all! My skin looks better, more even-toned, with far fewer blemishes and almost no breakouts. The color is beautiful.
I'm also thrilled with the very subtle glow 🤩
C
Awesome

very comfortable to wear, easy to apply

They are so natural... like a second skin.
C
Satisfied with my purchase.
Serum that provides radiance and a natural effect.
c
Very pleasant, it smells great! Top-notch ingredients. The effect is very natural, a beautiful glow! However, it's not suitable for my combination skin, but that was stated by the brand! I still wanted to form my own opinion; I should have taken La Crique's advice. No problem, I'll give this serum to a friend!
C
A very good serum that gives you a healthy glow.
I'm taking off one star because it's a little too dark for my skin tone and the dropper isn't very practical.
C
Easy to apply, spreads smoothly: leaves no residue! And provides great hydration!
A
Great product—it gives a healthy glow but looks very natural (I’ve gotten quite a few compliments!)
The different products from this brand that I’ve bought are great. I recommend them often
