Let me preface by saying this review is unincentivized. I am on my eighth bottle, and do not ever intend on stopping. I found about the Serum Skin Tint a few years ago, and was absolutely blown away by the effects. At that time, I'd tried and failed to find a mineral sunscreen that was non-comedogenic, nourishing, fragrance-free, and didn't make me look as if I rolled about in dry clay—virtually a Rubi · iliabeauty.com

I just recently started using DE products and was a bit hesitant to try this out because tinted SPFs have made me break out in the past! But I am so glad I did! I LOVE this product! I use it every day, twice a day sometimes. I use this with the D-Bronzi anti-pollution drops for glowing skin.
