Is this the platonic ideal of a facial sunscreen? We’d make the argument that yes, this is the sunscreen that all others aspire to be and not just because we’ve been wearing it ourselves for years, but also because we have never met a single person who didn’t like it enough to wear it every day. Basically, it all comes down to the formula. Where other sunscreens are goopy and oily, this is a clear gel formula. Where other sunscreens take forever to rub into your face and may still leave a white cast behind, this distributes over your skin with ease and sinks in quickly without leaving anything behind whatsoever. Where other sunscreens can leave your face looking oily or shiny, the matte finish of this sunscreen helps to smooth and blur imperfections, leaving you looking slightly airbrushed.
This sunscreen is such a genuine pleasure to use, we actually look forward to applying it every day. But there are two downsides. First, the bottle is small, so if you get down to price per use, it can be on the expensive side. Second, because it’s not water resistant, it can slide down into your eyes as the day progresses, particularly if you have oily skin or are on the sweatier side. Frankly, we find that as a daily sunscreen, that slide is tolerable and minimal. However, it also means that we wouldn’t recommend using this one for an outdoor workout or something equally sweaty (and that goes double if you have sensitive eyes). For us, neither of those two things take away from how great this sunscreen is overall and how much we love to use it.
