"With the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF 50, you get the sun protection, you get a subtle radiance boost, and niacinamide in one step. It works as a primer that genuinely preps skin for makeup rather than just sitting on top. This is something you can layer under a skin tint."
