Description
What It Is: This SPF 50 hydrates just as well as it protects. This gel-cream sunscreen has a dewy, glowy finish that perks up skin and keeps skin moisturized.
For: All skin types
What It Solves: This glowy sunscreen delivers a lightweight texture that never pills under makeup, and doesn’t leave a white cast. Using rich butters, amino acids, and a ceramide identical to those that exist naturally in our skin, this sunscreen delivers nourishing hydration while preventing water loss.
How to use: How: Gently smooth an even, generous layer all over skin 15 minutes before sun exposure or as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Use on face and neck.
Good to know: When applying SPF, we go by the two-finger rule: apply product on the length of two fingers for the perfect amount of protection. Yes, it may seem like a lot, but if you rub it in thoroughly and give it a few minutes to sit, your skin will soak it up.

Moisturizing and Non-Irritating

I switched to Versed recently after Olay suddenly started irritating my skin after years of use! The positives are: it works, it's moisturizing, it does not irritate my skin at all, even if I accidentally put it on my undereye area, it does not pill and has no white cast. The one con for me is I do find it to be greasy. Others have called it dewy, and maybe I'm just not used to that, but I feel it on my face somewhat and I see it somewhat in the mirror and am not used to that look. I feel like my hair sticks to it, etc. Olay had a matte formula that was completely dry, but then it started making my skin red and burn so there's that. I am absolutely sticking with this. I just have to either get used to the dewy look, or maybe powder my face after. I look similar in color to the blonde pale model they show, and you can see that her forehead, etc, looks a bit greasy. Or dewy!

I had been using a very thick Kiehls moisturizer for the past few years, but was growing dissatisfied because it took a while to truly soak into the skin and if I put it on before going out the door I would start perspiring immediately. This moisturizer is perfect, it gives me that dewy look that the Kiehls did, but soaks in much more quickly. The bottle (plastic tube with a pump) is well made and stands up on my counter.

This leaves the face looking very shiny, either like you are oily or super sweaty, which isn’t cute. It feels oily to the touch as well so if you scratch your cheek or something your fingers will have oil on them. I tried using a setting powder on after, which helped, but was inconvenient to me since I don’t typically wear makeup.

This is genuinely the best sunscreen I’ve ever used, and as someone with a darker complexion, I’ve used my fair share of sunscreens to see what works for me. This sunscreen is amazing. There’s no white cast, it’s moisturizing, lightweight, and best of all, doesn’t pill. Not to mention how affordable it is compared to some other brands and formulations. I will say this though: it does have a dewy finish so if you have oily skin or sweat a lot, you may look greasy but if you have dry skin, this is perfect to use on top of a moisturizer.

I don't like this sunscreen as much as the old versed sunscreen. It feels nice, but I don't like the glowy aspect. As someone with oily skin, I don't need the help looking shiny. This sunscreen ends up making me look extra oily and it highlights my texture, so then I have to use another product to mattify my skin. I would just prefer if a staple product like this didn't require an extra step for me to get the look I want.

I bought this thinking it was the same as their previous sunscreen but in a new packaging. Unfortunately I was wrong. Their previous face sunscreen was a mineral sunscreen but this one is a chemical. I have an allergy to chemical sunscreen so I can’t use this. I wish they provided a mineral option because the old face spf was my favorite!

I have to be honest, I went without sunscreen for years! They were always tacky when applied, made your skin gray or burned your eyes. This is none of those! I actually can't wait to put this on! It glides on so smooth and leaves you with the prettiest, glowing, healthy skin. The bonus is that it's good for your skin with skin loving ingredients. I am making this a part of my skin care regimen. So glad I tried it!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF!
