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
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
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
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
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.

Great moisturiser.
This is moisturising and lightweight for a mineral SPF. It has a glowy finish, doesn't leave white cast and doesn't sting the eyes.Â

Okay, but not worth it
I have a Paula's Choice body moisturizer that I love, so I hoped this would be equally as great. Unfortunately I found that although the product is quite thick, it doesn't rub in well, and then it leaves a white cast. Not my favorite product for this price.

Expensive for what it is
This is okay. It’s very pricey for what it is, I don’t feel like it moisturises my skin and leaves residue as well. It’s an okay moisturiser but not amazingÂ

It's more of a sunscreen than face cream
You can definitely tell from the texture that it's first and foremost a sunscreen. It also has a super white cast so you don't want to use more than a pea size for your face. It also leaves a weird texture for make up on top. If I was just at the beach with mascara and nothing else I would use it but definitely not a face cream I want to use everyday.

Not too thick
I used to hate using spf on my face and it feeling like suncream with the sticky layer left on your skin all day. I love this spf, it absorbs into the skin just like a moisturiser and doesn’t feel sticky afterÂ
