From the product’s texture to the precision nozzle for easy application, our testers loved just about everything this SPF had to offer. “Not only is this mineral sunscreen lightweight, and applies like a serum, its infused with hydrating ingredients to improve the quality of your skin, such as squalane and vitamin E for antioxidant protection. The texture is velvety for wearing under makeup—and for those who don’t wear any, the tinted formula doesn’t leave a white cast,” says Rachel Nazarian, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology.
As far as texture goes, our editors describe it as a milky lotion that gives you a dewy finish—perfect for bare-faced summer days. “My skin leans dry, so I’m always looking for SPF that will add a touch of hydration,” says Glamour contributor Mary Honkus. “Squalane and vitamin E work in tandem to soften skin without feeling heavy.” The liquid melts right in without any hint of white cast and no need for lots of rubbing.
Glamour commerce writer Alanna Martine Kilkeary, who has combination skin, also loves this formula. “This one is a total treat to apply. It’s creamy and absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any greasy residue behind. I’ve been reaching for this under makeup and my skin has never looked smoother,” she says.
