Great for dryer days
This was moisturizing and brightening but a little heavy for my combo skin in humid summer weather. Absorbs fairly quickly and doesn’t irritate my sensitive, acne prone skin.

Hydrating + no cast
I'd probably repurchase this - it ticks all the boxes for me except for price: fairly hydrating, no cast (light skin), doesn't pill with my current routine. My husband has tan skin and he likes it as well and it doesn't seem to have a cast on him either.

gentle glow for fair skin
I have very fair skin and this gives me a nice glow under foundation. Not shimmery, just a fairly natural glow.

Great SPF moisturizer
Love the light tint it adds! It's a great addition to my lineup. Never feels greasy or heavyweight.

light glow for pale skin
I have very pale skin and this gives a soft glow. I usually mix it with elta md. Not sparkly or shimmery, just a nice glow.

My favourite SPF moisturizer
Mineral based ✓ Minimum SPF 30 ✓ Hydrating moisturizer ✓ Basically everything I want. Does not have any tint and would probably give anyone besides the lightest skin tones a slightly white cast. I go through this pretty quick so wish it contained more but I really like it.

Great for highlighting areas
I don't like using this on my entire skin because it feels slightly greasy compared to other Paula's Choice moisturizers. However, I love using it under my eyes to create glow and to help hide dark circles under my skin.

Moisturizing
I’ve been using this for about a week. I have normal skin. This is easy to blend in, it does feel thick so it may not be good for oily skin. No white cast is a plus.

Not bad
Like the way this goes on. No white residue. But it’s too “glowy” in my opinion. I know that’s the point of this, but found out it isn’t for me. I just look plain sweaty. Other than that it’s a perfect moisturizer/sunscreen. Does well under makeup as well

love
was on the hunt for the perfect AM moisturizer with SPF (because i’m too lazy to find two separate products lol) and after thorough research, decided on this one. been using it for a few weeks now and i love how dewy but not greasy it makes my skin, how high the SPF is, and how it’s made with zinc oxide
