Favorite Sunscreen
I prefer physical sunscreen over chemical but finding one that doesn't leave a chalky white residue is so hard! This sunscreen leaves no white residue, blends in perfectly and leaves a bit of a glowy look. Putting a bit of powder of it tones that down a bit for places you dont want any shine. This doesn't break out my sensitive eczema prone skin. I've bought this 3 times now and I will continue to repurchase!

works great
I use this as my sunscreen and primer for foundation. It works well on my combo skin but need to blend it in.

Great Glow
This moisturizer gives a really beautiful glow to the skin. It almost looks like a pearly grey color. It does not add color to skin. I wear it under makeup. It dries down and does not feel greasy or sticky at all. Sometimes I do need to apply a heavier moisturizer over top for a little extra hydration during colder weather.

Sunscreen nothing else
This did not do a good job at moisturizing my skin. It left a white cast which I am sure is because of the sunscreen. This also had a weird smell to it. I would no use this for anything but a sunscreen and probably not even then.

Love the glow and moisture
I am very pleased with this moisturizing SPF. I prefer mineral sunscreens to chemical ones due to my sensitive eye area. This SPF does not irritate my eyes. I have normal to dry skin and this serves as my morning moisturizer, providing enough hydration to keep my skin comfortable all day without being greasy. The glow is a subtle luminosity not a shimmer. It has less of a glow than MAC Strobe Cream but a very similar texture, if you're familiar with that product. I use an amount about the size of a red kidney bean and don't notice any white cast on my NC 20 skin tone. I can't speak for deeper skin tones. There is no discernible scent, a fact which I appreciate in my facial care. I'm on my second tube and see this being a staple product for a long time to come.

Sticky, white cast
I really did want to love this but I hate how it makes my normal, brown skin look. I am around Kerry Washington's color, non-problematic skin. I prefer mineral and am just coming off of Supergoop's matte physical number which makes me purple for a while. This has great ingredients and never really seems to sink in (besides the glow of course).
