I have very sensitive, reactive skin, and this is the only skincare product I have ever repurchased consistently over the years. I have tried countless mineral SPFs and tinted sunscreens, and nothing else comes remotely close.
The texture is unbelievably elegant — it’s essentially the viscosity of water, which makes it feel weightless on the skin. The tint is absolutely gorgeous as well. Most tinted sunscreens pull too orange on my fair skin, but this one somehow manages to look natural, balanced, and skin-like every single time.
What really sets this SPF apart is the finish. It layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare and makeup, never pills, and genuinely makes my skin look better when it’s on than when I take it off. Even when my skin barrier is irritated or reactive, this sunscreen never stings. I can comfortably apply it right up under my eyes with zero irritation, which is incredibly rare for me.
My only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a bigger bottle because I never want to be without it. I have four bottles on the go right now. One in my bathroom, one in my car, one in my hiking bag, and one in sheer un tinted for when I do not want any tint and I will use each and everyone of them. Highly highly recommend this SPF. Especially as someone who is very conscious of any product that might leave congestion or potential breakouts. I used to use elta MD clear which I do also love but with the sensitivity of my skin I find that this one having essentially nothing in it beyond the sun protection is what I can tolerate on an everyday basis.
This is best sunscreen that I've tried, even compared to Korean brand sunscreens! This formula is light weight, has a slight tint and melts into my skin. I wear it on its own on days where I work from home but it's also a great based under make up! It's a staple for me! :)
