What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this as a reliable, elegant tinted sunscreen that blends seamlessly and works especially well for those prone to hyperpigmentation. Many use it as a foundation replacement for a no-makeup makeup look. The consistent gripe is shade range: the universal tint skews warm and medium, making it unsuitable for very fair or deeper skin tones. One reviewer felt it lacks sufficient pigment to work standalone without self-tanning.

"Dermatology as a brand has a lot of great tinted moisturizers. This is where I found one of my favorite tinted moisturizers. The Universal Tinted Moisturizer has a combo of zinc oxide, which is a mineral filter, and octinoxate, which is a chemical filter. These have a pretty neutral tint to them which makes them pretty friendly for most skin types. I think that's where a lot of people struggle finding one that works well and still matches their skin type and still has the good ingredients in there. You can see how nice it would be and evening on your skin and just set it with a little bit of powder and you're good. But be sure to apply it liberally. That's going to be the most important thing."

"It's a really nice sunscreen. It's got zinc oxide as well as octanoate, so it's a hybrid mineral chemical sunscreen. It's got a pretty nice universal tint to it and once it smooths into skin it just gives skin kind of a nice glow and feels really nice on the skin. No fragrance or anything like that, so it's pretty friendly for most skin types. Really nice foundation-free sunscreen."

"Things we've talked about on the channel tinted sunscreen would be dermatology universal tinted moisturizer, Ulta MD tinted daily, their UV daily, and their UV clear come in tinted formulations. Those are all great to consider if you have melasma."

"I used it again recently and it really is a phenomenal sunscreen. It leaves you with such a nice dewy glow. Great if you have hyperpigmentation. So if you're somebody who's using remedy for dark spots, I highly recommend using a tinted sunscreen and I really think that you'll like this one. The hybrid one is really my favorite. Over the course of probably four or five years I've been strongly recommending this brand, and this one has stood the test of time, especially in the demographic of probably 20 to 50 year old women. This is so many people's no makeup makeup look. If you're looking for that, this is a perfect option for you."

"This is a top seller ultimately, but just blends super well with the skin. It's a tinted sunscreen, and I love a tinted sunscreen, especially for those who are prone to hyperpigmentation. It gives you some cosmetic benefit, but the truth is when it comes to sunscreen, the only thing that I care about is whether it's going to be cosmetically elegant and does it meet the SPF rating of its intended goal. For me, this blends super well, blends in super nice. My wife uses this as a foundation dupe. She has a fairly complicated skincare routine, and she layers her skincare with it. It works exceptionally well for her, and for easily 3 years this has been her everyday foundation dupe and replacement."

"So many of you use this in place of a foundation, however I personally find it a little bit too warm for my skin tone. I'm about a Fitzpatrick one to two depending on the time of year and this is better for those with a skin tone closer to three or four."

"It gives your skin that skin-like look with a little bit of that glow to it, and blushes and bronzers sit really nicely on top of it. Concealer as well, you could totally put foundation on top of this if you really wanted to, but this is actually lovely on its own. I'm going to give this a 6.5 out of 10 only because the tint just isn't there. I can only wear this if I'm self-tanning, so it would be nice if they came out with some other options for shades because even if you have a darker skin tone this possibly may not even work. We need like a light, a medium, and a deep shade here. I just don't feel like this color is going to work for everyone."
