Not for tanned/darker skin
This leaves a white chalky residue once applied. I have Indian ski so it looks ridiculous. Would not recommend.

Flakey
I bought this as part of the trio set, I absolutely love this product. It applies nicely and sinks into my skin quite effortlessly and looks stunning on my skin. However, I cannot give it 5 stars due to the fact that after a couple of hours of wear it starts to flake on my face and around my eyes which is really disappointing.

So glowy!
Great spf that works well with other skincare for a beautiful glowy finish and great underneath makeup as well. Using this before dr Jarts colour correcting treatment leaves you with flawless skin highly recommended

Chalky
it’s a real shame I can only give 2stars as this product is chalky and takes ages to sink in!

Not Nice
Honestly, the worst sunscreen I have ever used. Tacky, leave a weird hue and it never sinks in. Would not recommend.

Pricey but worth it
I’ve been searching for a combined SPF moisturiser for a while. I bought this on a bit of a whim and liked it but thought it was a bit pricey for something I need everyday. It was only when I stopped using it and tried a la Roche tinted mat cheaper alternative did I realise how much I loved the paulas choice. It has a light sun cream feel that is super moisturising and not oily. It has a “glow” affect which I was sceptical of when I squeezed the product out of the tube because it looks like it’s going to be a clay mask but it does well it brighten skin and avoid a cakey white sheen on the face. I use in the day after The Ordinary AHA and I find my face feels fresh plump abs moisturised all day. I will say, if you use and sweat straight away, you will see a bit of white cast. As I found out on a run. But no biggie, SPF is cool.

A good pregnancy-safe SPF but a bit pricey
It makes your skin look glowy and healthy and it's also very hydrating. I have a normal-dry skin type and I use it instead of a moisturizer in the morning. The only thing is that for such a high price, I would expect at least an SPF of 30. It leaves only a very subtle white cast on me (I am also quite fair though) that disappears after a couple of seconds.

Good, but not what I expected
I've been using this product for a month now, and it is not as invisible as I thought it would be. Still leaves a white cast and can feel quite sticky on your skin. It also tends to peel off and create some white bits around my eyes. It has a bit of a nice glow but doesn't last very long. Still, it is one step less to your routine, so I will keep using it as sunscreen, but probably wouldn't repurchase.

Paula’s Choice glow moisturiser
I was looking for a moisturiser with an SPF factor. This saved at least one step on what my skin needed. Very pleased with this. Non-greasy, very little smell and leaves a nice glow. Will buy it again.
