A good pregnancy-safe SPF but a bit pricey

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

It’s okay

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product does leave a lovely glow, but I find that it’s got a heavy white cast that can clump around in some areas, not worth the money.

Holy grail product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using this for the last 3 years or so and I love it. It’s moisturising and gives a lovely glow. Once the product has been absorbed it doesn’t leave any ashy cast on my (Asian) skin. A winner all around.

It's good but not perfect

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've used this for a few months and on the whole it's good and feels nice on my skin. It has not caused any breakouts or negative effects. But it does feel a bit thick and sometimes leaves peely/excess bits of the cream - you have to rub it in a lot or brush away. I have to let it dry for a while before putting anything on top. And because it's got a bit of colour in it, I don't love topping up the SPF with it throughout the rest of the day because it feels like it's clogging my skin.

Perfect SPF

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using this every day for about a year now and won’t be without it. I mix in a small amount of Drunk Elephant D Bronzi serum for a really good no-makeup glow (note: I am pale!)

Perfect glow

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Purchased for the first time as I needed an SPF moisturizer and boy I so love it! A little goes a long way and what I love most about it is that it gives a faint, delicate glow, not making you look like you’re glowing brighter than the sun. I love not having to wear makeup, especially now when spending more time at home so this is just perfect for giving you a nice glow.

Love it!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

In love with this product, you get such a lovely glow and my makeup doesn’t pile on top of it. I don’t have an issue with it leaving a white cast because I’m very fair skinned. 10/10 would buy again!
