A staple in my skincare routine
Best mineral sunscreen that leaves skin hydrated and with a touch of glow.

Good hydration
It gives your skin a glowy, hydrated look, it has a good texture also.

Ok
Thin and easy to apply, has a weird greyish tint to it but seems to get absorbed and almost disappear. Makes skin glowy and slightly sticky what I don't mind as I apply make up on top. Burns my eye area though

Regular
I like it but it leaves a tone on the skin, it doesn't quite integrate well. I will not repeat despite its beautiful appearance, it is difficult for it to blend.

Decent
Made me a little too oily. Other than that the ingredients are good and the cream is very moisturising. A little too heavy for summer.

Not for oily skin
I have oily skin and when i use this product it leaves my skin very greasy. It must be good for people with dry skin, but unfortunately not for me although i love Paula's choice products.

Fave summer sunblock
I love this product. It gives great light coverage. Looks dewey and lovely. Is perfect for those who don't do a lot of makeup. Easy peasy.

Good
I wish it came as an spf 50, most glowy sunscreens I enjoy are for some reason 25-30. Other than that, great!

Good but not for me
It’s a good sunscreen, hydrating and glowy but I wouldn’t recommend for oily or combo skin. And it does leave a slight cast

Broke me out
I try a lot of sunscreen in order to find the best, and this isn't it. This broke me out almost instantly, it absorbes in really slow, it is sticky and way too shiny.
