What they liked

Glowy, hydrating finish
Works without extra moisturizer underneath

What they flagged

Shades lean orange, hard to match
Strong floral fragrance
Sheer coverage, minimal spot coverage

What the gurus are saying

This tinted moisturizer delivers a dewy, hydrating finish that some find flattering, but the shade range is a real stumbling block, shades lean distinctly orange and naming is confusing, making it hard to find a match even across multiple purchases. Coverage is sheer and minimal, so anyone expecting to cover spots or imperfections may want to look elsewhere, and the heavy fragrance load is intense enough that those sensitive to scent should patch-test first.

"This one I didn't like at all. It didn't give any coverage. It was so shiny it made my face look wet. It didn't last at all and it just didn't look great. The other problem that I had with it is that I had to buy so many of them and I still didn't get a shade match. They just all lean so orangey and so dark that it just didn't work for me."

BEST & WORST Tinted Moisturizers for Mature Skin!

"The shades of this are so wonky, it was so hard for me to get a shade match. [...] They lean way orange and the shade naming is really weird. [...] The huge amount of fragrance in here is overwhelming - the second I opened these up I was bowled over by the fragrance, very floral and perfumey, which I don't really love because I'm not a big fan of fragrance. [...] The coverage is pretty sheer, it evened out my skin tone minimally but doesn't cover spots."

"Look at how pretty that looks i'm really glad i did not go in with too much moisturizer with a with another moisturizer because this is also very glowy and very hydrating"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
