"I'm going to be using UV Restore from EltaMD today because this is going to be a little bit more cosmetically elegant, but it's still a very moisturizing, very hydrating sunscreen. It's a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide, but it has natural squalane in it, so it is going to hydrate very well."

Mixed
"This product I love, however if it gets anywhere near the lid line, oh my gosh, it is like vinegar in your eyes. It burns like none other, I think it's something related to the antioxidants in this formula, so be careful, but I do really like the tint, it's just very moisturizing too."
