Great sun protection with added coverage.
Color:
When looking at the top image in my photo you can see that the tint is not actually my own skin color; however, once fully rubbed in/applied the color does a great job at matching my own skin tone. I can see that this might not be the case with very very light or dark skin, but have not tested this on anyone else to be sure.
Texture when applied:
After applying, this sunscreen is not oily like normal sunblocks. Once dried, it has a nice dry matte finish. The matte finish is great to use as a base for applying foundation, since it allows it to stick well without being shiny.
Sun protection:
I have noticed that my face doesn't get color like the rest of my skin when I forget to apply sunscreen to the rest of my body. It is a pain that, like any other sunblock, it has to be reapplied often since I persona use it under makeup - which would require another coat of foundation and powder as well.
Bottle:
The pump is easy to use and one long pump expels the perfect amount of sunscreen for one face application. The pump is very soft so doesn't require much effort to press. The sunscreen comes with a clear cap that stays on while traveling, but requires little effort to remove. The bottle itself is seemingly well made and easy to use.
Sensitive Skin:
I have not noticed any issues with this causing irritation on my skin. Most facial oroducts tend to cause me to breakout, but not this - I have noticed no change in my skin since using it.
Overall:
Expensive, but highly recommended by determatologist. They even suggested purchasing through Amazon (vs in office), since Amazon tends to be the cheapest. Great daily product to protect against the sun. I love that I've recently used this on vacation around the pool, and it provides both sun protection and a makeup benefit (coverage isn't the best as makeup alternative, but much better than normal sunblock). I will be buying again.

I am placing my second order now for this product. I used it 1-2x daily for around 5 months and it just ran out. I am pleased with how long this lasted.

Yet again this bottle has lasted me around 5 months (slightly less right now as I’ve been using more like 2-4 times daily). Great product!!! Buy now, you won’t regret.
