No white cast or peeling

What they flagged

Contains fragrance, may irritate sensitive skin
Very dewy finish initially

What the gurus are saying

This chemical sunscreen earns praise for feeling lightweight and hydrating without white cast, reapplying seamlessly, and sitting beautifully under makeup. Both reviewers highlight the pleasant watermelon fragrance and effective UV filters, though one notes it carries noticeable fragrance, something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to scents. One reviewer appreciated that it calmed rosacea with no eye stinging, though the initial dewy finish mellows after about ten minutes.

"It does look extra dewy, [...] a little more than I like in a sunscreen, but under makeup it sits so good, and even without makeup it calms down after about 10 minutes. There is no white cast because it's a chemical sunscreen, it reapplies perfectly and there is no peeling whatsoever. Within the 24 hours I've used it, I cannot fault it yet, and I'm so happy to finally have a Glow Recipe sunscreen I can use daily."

"This is the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Shield Hydrating Fluid. I've loved pretty much every product from Glow Recipe, but they do have fragrance, so it may not be ideal if you're sensitive to fragrance. This is a chemical sunscreen with active ingredients including enzacamene, homosalate, and octisalate, which are very effective UV filters. This spreads very well, feels excellent on the skin, and has a really pleasant fragrance. Love the way that it looks and feels on the skin."
