THE BEST tinted sunscreen! I have 50+ light with neutral undertones skin plus mild rosacea. I researched so many products before committing to this hoping the reviews and manufacturer description were accurate. I use Elta MD barrier repair moisturizer under this tinted sunscreen, and the coverage is so good I skip foundation (which is just too much gunk on my skin anyway 👎🏻).

Trust me if I tell you that I truly try every foundation, bb, cc cream and tinted moisturizer on the market and absolutely nothing compares to this gem! This glides like a butter, moisturizing, glowing, creamy butter!
