Glowy spf

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Doesn’t pill on top of other skincare, doesn’t sting the eye area and leaves a soft glow

My fave go to

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this daily every morning it could be worn on its own for those no makeup days. it gives you such a glow it’s so pretty on the skin and provides spf too.  I receive alot of compliments about my skin down to this moisturiser. I find it absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves no residue, I have really oily skin and it works well for me. I buy the travel Size to take on trips etc and the travel size allows you to try it before splurging on the larger bottle. I love Paula’s choice alot of their items can be bought in mini before you commit to the price tag

Love this formulation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love Paula's choice sunscreens. All the formulations I've tried have felt so elegant on my skin. To make a physical sunscreen this elegant is so impressive. If you like a glow to your skin then this is definitely worth a try. The ingredients list is packed with antioxidants and soothing/redness reducing ingredients. The place I actually appreciated this the most was on my neck. Such a beautiful texture.

Liked it but didn’t love it

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

It leaves a nice glowy finish & especially on no make up days, since it has a slight tint (no coverage) it does make me look a bit more awake & put together. It is nice but nothing special for the price point

Fabulous

I used this in Mexico and was a godsend. A bit pricey maybes for the size. I will be buying again once I’ve ran out

My holy grail moisturiser

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve repurchased this.  Lovely thick texture makes it easy to apply enough for the spf to be meaningful. Takes a few seconds to sink in and leaves behind a lovely glow.  I’m Asian and feel once this has absorbed I don’t see a white cast (initially it does seems to have one bug you just wait a minute or two).

Lovely glow

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is such a lovely and moisturising product. It’s very glowy which I love. Probably will leave a white cast on darker skin tones though.
