Dr Sam's verdicts.

“They say it's your first line of attack against breakouts, blackheads and dark marks, it helps to reduce redness, spot size and minimizes future breakouts and it's actively hydrating so it's kind of for your skin barrier. It won't flake or peel so it works seamlessly under makeup. I agree with most of that. I wouldn't use it under makeup if you can help it, I'd more use it in your evening routine, that's because of some of the ingredients. [...] In terms of drying types of alcohol it does not contain any of those. In terms of fragrance there's no fragrance ingredients. It has almost like a little bit of a licorice scent when you apply it and then it dissipates.”

“I don't like their sunscreen. That's the one thing I don't like, their sunscreen.”

“If you want something that is moisturizing, pillowy, cushiony, but doesn't leave you greasy, this is a beautiful moisturizer that just so happens to be an SPF. What's great about this is that if you're someone who has never used a sunscreen before you can literally use this in place of a daytime moisturizer and it goes on so silky and so smooth. This is such an easy swap in a skincare routine that it doesn't feel like you're doing a total overhaul. This is expensive, but this is phenomenal if you want an amazing finish.”
