  • Nice Product for my light skin
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
A little goes a long way with this product so the larger tube should last quite a while. Has a tannish-grey tint that helps tone my red undertones. Lightweight, subtle scent, absorbs easily, feels non sticky once applied. Leaves a very slight sheen (from the minerals in the sunscreen I assume.) I don't find it overly moisturizing, but then I have very dry skin. I mainly use this on my hands as it protects them while giving me a little age spot coverage. I have a light complexion so not sure if this tint would be more pronounced/harder to blend on darker skin tones. ... show more

  • One of the best mineral SPFs I've used.
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I appreciate that it has almost no white cast...but then again it's only SPF30. It actually reminds me of a tinted moisturizer. I like the texture of it. It's also great for the tops of hands throughout the day because it melts right into skin without the heavy stickiness of most mineral sunscreens. I've used this quite a bit. My only criticism is the price. It's way expensive for such a tiny bottle. ... show more

  • Great for sensitive skin
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have sensitive skin and this moisturizer with spf works great for me. I've tried so many and if they're mineral based they leave a white cast no matter what the label says. This one leaves the least white cast without looking like makeup (on caucasian med-light skin). It feels really good on and doesn't irritate at all. I just make sure my skin isn't bone dry when applying it because mineral makeup never looks good when applied that way. ... show more

  • Nice product
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This gives you some sun protection as well as giving a subtle glow . I use it most days . Wish the tube was a little larger ( more product) for the money .

  • More like sunscreen than lotion
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s very thick and slightly light colored, much like sunscreen. It doesn’t soak in well either, unlike moisturizer.

  • My Go-To
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m a skin care obsessed girl and this is my go-to sunscreen that I have purchased a million times. Comes out beige-grey but totally melts into your skin with no cast at all. Very moisturizing as well and could definitely be used as your moisturizer as well. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

  • Jaw-droppingly small for the price...
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The product itself I'm happy with. It's lightweight, absorbs, protective, light pleasant scent, doesn't break me out, etc. But, I had a huge problem opening this package and finding out how small this bottle was. Granted, I did look at other .5fl oz. containers I had around the house to compare size for $12, but I will admit I was still pretty shocked how small it was and how much product is actually in the tube. Additionally, I wanted to try the smaller bottle to make sure it's a product that would work well for me. But, it's hard to get past paying this much money when there are certainly comparable brands/products. :( I'll enjoy the product while it last. But, I ultimately went with another option in the long term. :) ... show more

  • So good to my sensitive skin
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product! It has the spf to help prevent wrinkles and it keeps my combo skin hydrated without being oily or having those random dry patches.
