    I absolutely love this product. I’ve tried other SPFs, but they were too oily. This one is so nice and light with a tint that gives my skin a nice glow and keeps it protected. For the first time ever, I stopped wearing makeup.

      I love that it is tinted because it is look like I have color instead of looking pale. It feels so good on the skin and very minimal.

      I always end up coming back to this product. I’ve tried other tinted moisturizers and this is the holy grail. It’s light and leaves me with glowy skin.
