The Guru Index verdict
Mixed
~Mixed · 65%What the gurus are saying
The gurus split on how this one actually wears. One expert found it genuinely lightweight and fragrance-free, ideal for people who dislike heavy sunscreen, while another felt it left skin looking shiny and glazed despite its thin liquid texture, similar to applying a light film of oil. A third noted it has a dewy finish and uses older US-approved filters, which may matter depending on geography and personal preference for finish.
