7 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This sunscreen leaves a noticeably dewy, moisturizing finish that works particularly well for dry or sensitive skin, but the white cast is pronounced, especially on darker skin tones. Gurus praise the hydrating formula and lack of irritation around the eyes; however, those with oily skin or deeper complexions may find it cakey and hard to blend. It's not water-resistant, so it suits daily indoor and light outdoor use best. Apply generously to get the SPF protection on the label.
