Must have
This is amazing. I have the most sensitive finicky skin ever and this calms it amd gives and nice glow. Use it for years will always repurchase.
Report this reviewAlways in the rotation!
I love this product from Paula's Choice, especially in the winter/drier season as a moisturizer + sunscreen (2 in 1), both on make-up days as well on no-make up days. This product especially shines on no-make up days I find, it gives a beautiful healthy glow and even outs your skin tone. For the summer season I prefer the blue tube (anti age) version of this from Paula's choice, it's a lighter texture and has spf 50 (this one is spf 30).
Report this reviewGood, but not great
It's not a bad oil, by any means. In fact, it's great for thin hair because it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy or weighed down. I'm just not absolutely wowed by its effects. I think I prefer my Moroccan Oil one, even though it is heavier. It smells better and gives my hair the extra glow it needs.
Report this reviewBeautiful under makeup
I bought this because I needed a high quality moisturizer with SPF that looks great under make up, and it delievered. The only downside is the amount of product vs the price, but I think I would order it again because it looks so good under foundation.
Report this reviewOutstanding sunscreen
It is honestly amazing, a little story: I am allergic to chemical sunscreens, but physical as you know make you pale white, so this one has no chemical sunscreens and it is tinted meaning you wont be completely white, slightly whiting (i have semi brown skin).The only issue for me with this sunscreen is that it is drying
Report this reviewI love it but..
I love this sunscreen, it is moisturizing and leaves my face very glowy! On me, I have fair skin, it doesn't leave a cast (only the first moments after application, but then it absorbs), however I recommend it only if you like the effect because it really leaves your face glowing. For the price i found better spfs for what i'm looking for, but I'd give it a try!
Report this reviewAmazing
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
