Works great on my sensitive combination skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have a sensitive combination skin. It doesn’t leave a white cast, my skin is glowing and feels very hydrated.  I’ve used it on very hot summer days and it was great. You really need just a tiny bit of it to cover all face. Wouldn’t recommend if you prefer matte effect

So-so

Leaves a cast but it doesn't burn my eyes so I'll tolerate it.

i do not like it

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

It won't be my favorite sunscreen. Even on my fair skin, it leaves a white cast. It dries too quickly and it is not possible to apply nicely. It has a greasy finish, which makes it more suitable for people with dry skin.

MEH...

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've had great hope for this one, but it doesn't work for my skin. It's heavy and I feel greasy after using it. After applying it I just want to wash my face. Maybe it would work better for someone with dry skin.

Super shinny

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

A no-no product for people with pores and oily skin! Probably works great for people with dry skin, it is super shinny!

So glowy!!

Makes my skin so glowy and healthy looking! Moisturizes very good, also wore it to the beach and did not get a sunburn. Definitely a good cream and with great protection

Not perfect, but still my all-time favorite SPF

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

For maybe two years now, this has been my go-to SPF; I adore it. The texture is wonderful, creamy and moisturizing but not heavy, leaves a lovely glow, and sits well under makeup; just make sure to let it sink in for about 15min. I think it's more suited for people with normal/dry skin, as it may feel/look a bit too much on oily skin. In addition, it definitely leaves a bit of a white cast, which fades a bit for me as the SPF sinks in; on my skin tone, it's not a deal breaker, but unfortunately, I'm not sure how well this would work for people with darker skin. Overall, I love the experience of wearing this SPF, and the ingredients make it a multitasker, helping to further prevent/reduce pigmentation. I may try others (because of boredom/in the attempt of finding a cheaper alternative), but at the moment, this is my tried and true.

My second favourite SPF

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this for quite some time and really loved it. It gives a glow that is between great and too much. The skin feels amazing and looks like you've applied a BB or CC cream. Switched this for Skingredients because it gives a less dewy complexion. All in all great SPF

Summer fave

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this product for what it is. Great SPF which makes my skin more glowy! Only "downside" is yes it does leave your skin shiny and wet-looking , however if you use a matting primer after it neutralises the shine perfectly

One of the best moisturizers

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm really in love with this moisturizer. It evens my skin tone and doesn't feel sticky. There's just a small amount needed to spread it over the entire face.
