Amazing
One of the best - moisturises and protects, lasts a good while and great packging
Report this reviewConcerning ingredients
This product suits my skin, makes it glowy and is a mineral sunscreen which is great. However, it has a VERY concerning ingredient, Acrylamide, which is categorized as a Group 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (!!!). Never purchasing again.
Report this reviewWorks great on my sensitive combination skin
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
Report this reviewi do not like it
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.
Report this reviewMEH...
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.
Report this reviewSuper shinny
A no-no product for people with pores and oily skin! Probably works great for people with dry skin, it is super shinny!
Report this reviewSo 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
Report this reviewNot perfect, but still my all-time favorite SPF
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.
Report this reviewMy second favourite SPF
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
