No-white-cast SPF 45 serum - layers perfectly under makeup (no breakouts) + GLOW!
Bought for: a daily “serum SPF” I can wear as my last skincare step before makeup for real life (office with a window, driving, quick walks outside). Likes: Doesn’t feel like sunscreen: Lightweight, not greasy, and zero white cast. Makes skin look amazing: Gives a real radiant finish. I have to go easy on highlighter because this gives the same glow I get from my Dior highlighter. Plays perfectly with makeup: No pilling and no texture issues under my usual base (Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick). Very low SPF scent: Much less “sunscreen smell” than most products. Acne-prone friendly: I still struggle with breakouts at 52, and this does not give me acne or blackheads. Great packaging: Heavy, opaque glass (protects from light) and the pump dispenses the right amount cleanly. Results over time: With regular use, my complexion looks more even and radiant, and I’ve noticed discoloration from sun exposure has started to fade. My kids literally say, “Wow Mom, your skin looks really good!” which is basically my favorite kind of data. 😄 Would I buy again? Yes. I’m buying it for the whole family. Quick answers: Leaves a white cast? No Greasy/sticky? No Glowy finish? Yes Strong sunscreen scent? No, very faint Works under makeup? Yes (no pilling for me) Good for acne-prone skin? Yes (no acne/blackheads for me) Packaging/pump quality? Excellent When to apply in routine? Last step before makeup

I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens over the years, but this one has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. It applies smoothly, absorbs fast, and doesn’t leave that heavy, greasy feeling that many sunscreens tend to have. Best of all—it doesn’t leave a white cast, even on deeper skin tones, which is a huge plus! The texture is lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for everyday use under makeup or on its own. I’ve used it during workouts, beach days, and even under intense sun, and it holds up really well without clogging pores or causing breakouts. Another thing I love is that it doesn’t have a strong, overpowering scent—just a clean, subtle fragrance that fades quickly. And with broad-spectrum SPF protection, I feel confident my skin is getting the coverage it needs. If you’re looking for a reliable, non-irritating sunscreen that feels good on the skin and actually works, this one’s worth trying. Highly recommend!

Love it!
I have such a hard time finding products with a creamy consistency like traditional sunscreen, moisturizers, and even thick foundations. I'm not sure why but my skin quickly has little droplets of sweat after applying those, even if I'm not sweaty. This is a serum consistency and applies easily. I do NOT have that weird droplet problem with this sunscreen. It's the only product in over 10 years that I've found that offers skin protection that actually soaks into my skin. There is a slight oily film after applying that sticks around. Not too odd for sunscreens. I think blotting paper or applying a finishing powder before applying makeup would help most people take care of that. I'd say wait maybe 20 minutes before applying makeup to let it soak in. A bit inconvenient, but I just do other stuff to get ready in the meantime. Overall, the oily film that sticks around isn't too bad, but is noticeable. It's absolutely worth it for me who has had problems finding a sunscreen that actually works for me. I really don't think it's that much worse than a standard sunscreen. Note that I have fair skin. The product is white, and I don't think there would be a problem with people who have up to medium skin tones. I haven't tested on darker skin so I'm not sure if it would cause an ashy appearance. However, it is a serum consistency and only a little is needed to cover the whole face, so I think it's worth trying.

Light Texture, Easy Application — Still Evaluating Effectiveness
This sunscreen feels light on the skin and spreads easily, which makes application quick and pleasant. So far, I haven’t noticed any irritation or heaviness. I can’t speak to its long-term effectiveness yet, but I’ll update once I’ve used it more consistently.

Easy to use sunscreen
Amazing sun screen. Smooth and easy to apply. The bottle is easy to open and pump the sunscreen and lock it up also. The sunscreen is smooth and does not leave markings. Is light weight so does not feel like you have anything on you.

Great option for sunscreen
This is a pretty good sunscreen product. I have pretty sensitive skin and live in a very sunny area. I also have pretty acne prone skin. I feel like this gives me pretty good coverage. It’s thin and easy to reapply. I like to wear it under my make up it doesn’t cause any issues for me. I honestly was expecting the bottle to be a little bit bigger because it is on the smaller side, but it should last a good amount of time. If you’re only using it once a day it is a pretty standard moisturizing sunscreen. I can’t say it’s the most moisturizing. I would definitely use it with a moisturizer on top, but it does its job well.

No white cast!!
This product is very good when you put it on. It does look a little bit oily and greasy however the absorbency is really well depending on what other products you do have on your skin that day as this skin can only absorbed so much at a time it does last long and it has no scent and for anybody wondering this goes on well and leaves no white casts!!

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
This is a totally chemical sunscreen and it is in a spray bottle. It is very irritating to my eyelids. I tried to return it and was told the company did not want it back. I was told to throw it away. They issued me a credit on my credit card but decided to charge me again over a month later because I did not return the product, which I could not do because the vendor was not willing to pay the shipping back. Do not buy!!!!!
