"Tower 28 is a really great brand. At least in the US, they put hypochlorous acid on the map for acne-prone skin and rosacea-prone skin. [...] Their little red SOS spray was a game changer for a lot of people, especially those with acne-prone skin and rosacea. And this foundation looks great. It's got some nice soothing ingredients and antioxidants."

"Tower 28, this is more of a foundation, but it has an SPF 30 in there, and they have a nice variety of different shades, color options, which is nice. It's not too too tinted, doesn't have a ton of pigment like some others. It's pretty much going to work for everybody."

"A lot of people really like this. I liked it at first, but I found it to be kind of drying on my skin and the more I used it, the more I noticed dry patches and flakiness, so I kind of stopped using it."

"It's got non-nano zinc oxide. It's got the National Eczema Association seal. No fragrance, no alcohol, no comedogens. And it also contains anti-inflammatory botanical. For me, the final verdict is this the gold standard for acne foundations for skin of color right now."

"At the 8-hour check-in, I thought it was very worn off on my nose, my chin, my cheeks, above my eyebrows, was shiny in my T-zone. It was giving me speckly polka dot pores on my cheeks and on my chin. So, this definitely shortens the wear of foundation, but it didn't feel drying to wear throughout the day. So, as a standalone sunscreen, I would give this one a four out of five. As a sunscreen to wear under makeup, I'm going to give it a three out of five."

"This I absolutely love. If you want a mineral sunscreen, this is the one that I would go for. [...] They've got a great shade range. [...] This is really really nice. [...] You get 30 mil, so it's not the biggest bottle but that's pretty standard for tinted sunscreens. I just love how this pairs on the skin. It's got a really nice applicator. [...] It's not ashy."

"I've been enjoying the Tower 28 tinted sunscreen as almost like a light foundation over matte skin sunscreen. It peeled at first but I realized it was a moisturizer underneath. [...] So you use the matte skin sunscreen first then the Tower 28 tinted sunscreen like double layer protection, a little light coverage."

"This is a mineral sunscreen with that tint. Tower 28 are a fantastic Canadian brand. They actually make it quite easy to color match to your own shade on their website. They are relatively sheer so it's not like wearing a foundation with heavy coverage. It is relatively sheer, and so there is a little bit of forgiveness when it comes to choosing a shade. It does take down any redness that you have. It'll help color correct. It gives a nice, it's like a BB cream rather than a foundation."

"It just didn't work for me. It's too thick and heavy to actually wear as a sunscreen. It has kind of a silicone base that just makes it super heavy. It's whipped and it feels nice going on, but I just can't wear enough of it to get the correct coverage to wear as a sunscreen. The tint is a pretty good match for my skin tone. It would probably work best for me just as a skin tint. So, unfortunately, it was a fail for me."

"So if you want a light sheer coverage and a nice quality finish, this is probably not going to be the product for you. It's just your basic everyday tinted moisturizer with a little bonus of sunscreen. As far as wear, I gave it a four out of five. It's so hydrating, it basically just stuck to my skin all day. There wasn't a ton of breakup by the end of the day. So if you want a skin tint with longevity that doesn't really have a refined finish, Tower 28's SunnyDays could be the one for you."

"There was no denying that the cast. If you don't put on enough of a mineral sunscreen then yes maybe you won't have a noticeable cast, but do you know how dangerous that can be when people aren't wearing enough sunscreen? If you're not wearing enough sunscreen but you think you are and you think you're being protected, you got to put on enough to get the SPF."

"Like it's a mineral sunscreen, not invisible as promoted. And when creators were showing you exactly how sunscreen looks when you apply the recommended amount, the appropriate amount of sunscreen, the amount you should use in order for your sunscreen to be effective, not a dab, not a tiny dot like the Tower 28 promo shows, a full actual application, it just did not blend in. It wasn't invisible at all. Which makes you wonder, did they even test it on deeper skin tones and black skin?"

"This is the Tower 28 SPF 30 Save Our Skin. It's a 12.5% zinc oxide sunscreen. Tower 28 makes a lot of great products, and their sunscreens are also very nice. This one is a tinted sunscreen that's going to mask any appearance of a white cast. If you like a little bit of tint to your sunscreen, it will blend well under makeup. Looks great on the skin. It's a mineral only sunscreen."

"It's Tower 28 sunscreen. I wanted to love it. They have like a bunch of different colors and [...] I just don't like it. It's really disappointing. Not to call them out directly, I love a lot of their products, but I just really wanted to love this and didn't."
