Video reviews
Best for
  • • Dry or normal skin on medium to deep skin tones
  • • An affordable face-and-body daily sunscreen
  • • People who dislike the white cast of mineral sunscreens
  • • Wearing under makeup as a primer step
  • • Deeper skin tones that need zero white cast
  • • People who want an unscented, invisible daily SPF
Strengths
  • Dries clear with no white cast on deep skin tones
  • Moisturizing enough to double as a lotion
  • Water resistant for 80 minutes and usable on face and body
  • Clear gel leaves no white cast on any skin tone
  • Doubles as a makeup-gripping primer with a pore-blurring finish
  • Scentless and free of added fragrance
Watch-outs
  • Glowy finish can feel heavy or look shiny on oily skin
  • Plant oils and cocoa butter make it a less obvious pick for very acne-prone skin
  • Expensive per ounce for an everyday face sunscreen
  • Goes on completely clear, so it is easy to miss spots unless applied generously
