What the gurus are saying

One expert praised it as addictive and reliable for properly moisturized skin, noting it works well as a second layer over a solid skincare base. However, the SPF in it isn't reliable enough on its own to protect from sun damage, since applying a quarter-size amount (what dermatologists recommend for sunscreen) would look heavy and caked. That means anyone wanting real sun protection should apply a dedicated sunscreen first, then layer this on top.

"I always feel guilty talking about this because I know people feel like they're really getting their sunscreen protection whenever they use like a tinted moisturizer or a foundation that has SPF in it. But the reality is that in order to properly protect your face from sun damage, you need to use about a quarter size amount of sunscreen. Now imagine you using that much tinted moisturizer or foundation on your face. You're going to look caked up. It's not going to look good. Which is why I always recommend going in with a sunscreen before you go in with a tinted moisturizer or foundation with sunscreen formula. It's just not enough protection."

"I've been addicted to the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. As long as your skin's properly moisturized so if you've got that as a base and then I go on with the Tinted Moisturizer."
