Texture and Application

Pros:

  • "It is easy to apply and you do not have to use much at all to be effective."
  • "It's very easy to apply and has a smooth texture."
  • "This sunscreen goes on velvety smooth and isn't greasy at all."
  • "Very smooth texture."
  • "It spreads and blends easily and leaves a silky finish."
  • "It goes on very smoothly and is a lot like typical foundation makeup."
  • "It goes on so easily and smoothly and had a silky feel that feels nice on my skin."

Cons:

  • "This product doesn't spread as easily and it leaves a white shine, unlike the old formula."
  • "The white cast on this version is horrendous."
  • "The most recent order I received seems different. The color is much darker and leaves an orange tint on my face where before you couldn’t really tell it was there at all."
  • "This new stuff is heavy and sticky and super difficult to remove."
  • "It was too dark and thick making it difficult to blend around my eyes."
  • "The consistency of the sunscreen was very thick, which made it hard to spread around."
  • "The texture is a like a thick whipped cream. It goes on okay on the first application but it pills badly when adding a second layer later in the day."

Tint and Color Match

Pros:

  • "Shear but what is wonderful it smooths imperfections and just gives you a hint of color."
  • "It's translucent when you apply so anyone can wear it!"
  • "But after applying it blended perfectly with my fair-medium complexion."
  • "I'm very fair and this isn't too dark. It blends great."
  • "The tint is unnoticeable and at the same time it cancels out the white cast that is usually present in physical sunscreens."
  • "It did have a tint, but as I blended it in, it evened out my skin tone and gave me a beautiful matte finish."
  • "You do not see the color on your skin, but it makes skin look more perfected."

Cons:

  • "It claims to be a 'natural skin tone', but I'm not sure what that really means considering the hundreds of different skin tones that are present in the world."
  • "I know mineral sunscreens leave a white cast but I thought with the tint that wouldn't happen. It is very visible and stays white cast all day."
  • "The tint might be too dark if you are very pale (ivory) or light."
  • "It might stain if it gets on clothing or towels."
  • "The color might not be for everyone."
  • "The most recent order I received seems different. The color is much darker and leaves an orange tint on my face where before you couldn’t really tell it was there at all."
  • "The tint is too dark on my fair skin."

Effectiveness and Protection

Pros:

  • "It blocks the sun very well."
  • "I can apply this to my face just once and spend an entire day at the pool with no burning."
  • "It also protects against sun burn."
  • "It provided excellent protection from the sun for me."
  • "It has always protected me from sun burn."
  • "I'm out in the sun many hours a day... and have found this sunscreen works with one application."
  • "I have very fair skin and burn extremely easily. This sunscreen...hasn't caused me any sun issues."
