The Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 is amazing. It truly is extremely light and smooth on my skin. It doesn't clog my pores but keeps me very protected. It's easy to apply makeup over also. I highly recommend this product. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light green tint keeps the natural redness of my skin down. The touch on my skin is light after applying. I am very happy with this product. Hope to use it all summer here in Colorado.
Beautiful texture but may irritate, leave cast

This product will be a godsend for some people. The texture is beautiful: light and hydrating (with a matte dry-down after about 15 minutes). It is also truly unscented. My issue is the product contains Butyloctyl Salicylate, which my dermatologist told me is almost identical to octisalate (ethylhexyl salicylate), a chemical sunscreen filter. Now, I’m not one of those people who is scared of chemical sunscreens—I’d love to wear those beautful products—but, I am someone who does not tolerate octosalate (runny nose, red skin, itch). This 100% mineral sunscreen gave me the same reaction. Finally, I hesitate to agree this product does not leave a white cast. I wouldn’t call myself melanated, but I am of southern-Italian descent, so I have a bit of color. This definitely gave me that powdery look. I get it: it’s basically impossible to make a zinc sunscreen that’s effective, non-nano, non-tinted, and non-white-cast wearing. I just wish brands would stop claiming their product is “clear. ” TLDR: Contains an ingredient that may irritate if you are sensitive to chemical sunscreens. Visible on Fitzpatrick III skin tone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother died from Melanoma at age 62. I take sum protection very seriously. This product is an answered prayer. No longer do I loathe putting on sticky tacky sunscreen on my face that makes me look white as a ghost. This lightweight and effective cream goes on like magic and the green tint calms my rosecea. It's heavenly to wear and it works! I spent 4 hours doing yardwork and I didn't get even rosy. Thank you for making a superior product!

Hero never misses I swear!! This is just another hit for me. I really enjoy how this is made specifically for ance prone skin because most sunscreen break me out unfortunately. Also, the average sunscreen tends to be a way thicker consistency, which it takes awhile to absorb into the skin, this is an ariey-light weight formula crafted for comfortable everyday wear AND SPF 30. I couldn't ask for much more. :) I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

Matte & Meh: Good, But Not for Brown Skin
3 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
QueenBre - 24 days ago, Verified purchaser
Overall, this product works pretty well. That said, if you have brown skin, I'd skip it—it leaves a pretty noticeable white cast. It's also on the thicker side, which makes it a little hard to rub in, but nothing too terrible. It's supposed to double as a primer, and while I haven’t tried it that way yet, I can see how it might work really well for oily skin like mine—it definitely gives a matte finish. Because of the white cast, I’d probably only use it under makeup. As for the price, I agree with others—it’s not the best value. The travel size is $5 and doesn’t even give you a full ounce. If you’re someone who likes testing out new products, go for it. If not, you might want to spend your money on something else.

Nice texture but small

elemental691 - 26 days ago, Verified purchaser
The texture feels nice on my skin but this is container of sunscreen was even smaller than I imagined. It's also sometimes hard to squeeze so it squirted half the bottle out at once which was annoying given how little is in there.
Great as primer

Superlight sunscreen SPF 30

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 is an absolute standout. It applies beautifully—light as air—and sinks into the skin without any residue or white cast. The texture is smooth and weightless, making it perfect for everyday wear, even under makeup. It gives a soft, natural finish that feels clean and comfortable all day long. What I love most is how gentle it is on the skin. It doesn’t clog pores, cause breakouts, or leave any shine. Just fresh, protected skin that looks and feels great. The SPF 30 provides just the right amount of protection for daily use, and it’s become a staple in my morning routine. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sunscreen that’s light, effective, and a joy to wear. #SweepstakesEntry
