perfect coverage for my needs
I started using this as it was recommended by the budget dermatologist on youtube. On a daily basis, the most I put on my skin is a BB cream and concealer, and what I love about this is it give me just enough coverage to cover my skin issues plus giving me the added bonus of a sunscreen. I also feel like it doesn't clog my pores, which is a must with my acne prone skin. Love it.
Great tinted sun protection
This product provides excellent mineral sun protection. It does NOT budge even after being out in the sun and getting a glow on. It also gives your skin a bit of colour, so you can wear it on no makeup days if it provides enough coverage for you. It's almost like a primer if I want to wear another product over top that has colour, like a tinted moisturizer.
It does require a balm or oil cleanser to remove at the end of the day.
Love this facial sunscreen
Absolutely love this brand! And the botanical line is incredible! The facial sunscreen is very creamy yet somehow finishes almost powdery! I love that it doesn't leave my face looking oily like so many other kinds!
A True Non-greasy Sunscreen
I am surprised by how matte this sunscreen makes my skin feels, this is by far the driest sunscreen I have ever used. I have dry skin to begin with so this sunscreen makes my skin feel extra dry. However, I also dislike the greasy residue other sunscreens leaves. My favorite part of this sunscreen is the tinted aspect, as mineral sunscreens are known to leave a white cast. The texture of this sunscreen is very mousse like but not too thick.
How i like to use this sunscreen is to apply a layer of a regular mineral sunscreen then apply another layer of this sunscreen which combats the greasy feeling and white cast of the regular mineral sunscreen and the dryness of this sunscreen. The combination of both sunscreens leaves the skin a matte finish without feeling too dry. This way, you will be sure to have applied an equal layer of sunscreen to protect the skin.
Finally found my holy grail!
I have oily skin and this wears amazingly under my foundation (I usually wear powder foundation). Other sunscreens cause my makeup to break up, but this does not, even when I use a generous amount.
I wish it were a bit less expensive, since you have to use so much sunscreen for it to be effective, but it is worth it and I continue to repurchase it over and over again. I purchase it on Amazon.ca for about $20-25.
The tint is slightly too dark for my very fair skin but I do not think anyone notices, especially if I apply it to my neck as well and/or wear makeup.
Before this, I was purchasing Asian sunscreens and having them shipped to Canada. This is my favourite so far.
I'm on my 2nd bottle!
They say to find and SPF that you love to wear everyday. How could I when all the drug store brands leave a white cast and your face greasier than a cheesy pizza? I finally found one of my favourite SPFs, I actually gave up wearing my foundation makeup as this tinted formula covers everything.It goes on matte which is great for my oily skin. I finished the bottle and the colour remained true until the end, it didn't turn orange or any funny colours. I wouldnt say it would be for all skin tones as it comes out a pink/brown colour. But if it does match your skin tone then I highly recommend!
