5.0 out of 5 stars Luxurious

J.D. · October 12, 2023

I have rosacea, very sensitive skin, and a tanned skin tone. The product is light and goes on easily. It left no whitecast on me and rubbed in quickly. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and great. This is definitely the best mineral spf moisturizer I’ve found and will continue using it for ever!! It does have a mineral scent that dissipates in about an hour after applying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sunscreen

This moisturizer is more of a fabulous mineral sunscreen than a true moisturizer. Very creamy and moisturizing, and isn't too heavy or greasy. I wear everyday with or without foundation, it does not pill or disrupt makeup. It does have a very light white/lavender cast that easily blends into light skin tones with enough rubbing and a little time. If you have a tan skin tone or deeper try a tinted mineral sunscreen or a chemical sunscreen without zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Those are the ingredients that leave a white cast in sunscreens. I love mineral sunscreens because they don't sting the eyes or irritate skin. This one goes on my eyelids everyday and has never stung. Mega holy grail product, I wish it was more affordable.

4.0 out of 5 stars I think it is working

H.i.N.T. · May 28, 2023

I have tried a lot of sunscreens and being that I burn in under 30 minutes (level 3 fairness), I take sunscreen seriously. Now I have pretty sensitive skin and there were some ingredients that I was not really happy about and today on the first wear, I have not had a reaction so I will keep trying this out and hopefully it will work. I live up north so I pretty much stick to sunscreens that are thick like this one especially in winter but it does not feel really heavy so far. Bolo's price was kind of steep with the shipping so I am going to look around for some other options. Since there was no scent and it feels fine on the skin, I would recommend to another sunscreen enthusiast though.

I have used this sunscreen as my daily go-to since I bought it and love it. I haven't put it to the test as far as blister prevention as I tend to avoid the sun and have no plans to change that.I use tretinoin which leaves my skin a bit more sensitive to sun and to products and I love that it did not irritate my skin.I love that it doesn't take forever to dry.I love that it doesn't leave a white cast on my face.I wish it cost less but unless I find something better and cheaper I will buy it again until I do.Recommended!

A.G. · February 13, 2021

I’ve never included spf in my skincare routine other than bb cream that i use that has spf 30 and bare minerals that has spf. I’m learning about the importance of using actual spf. The problem is that they can be heavy and leave my face cloudy. That doesn’t work with my makeup routine. I heard about this brand from Hot and Flashy YouTuber. I decided to go for it since my FSA covers this. I’m so glad I did. This is light weight and sheer. It sinks into my skin. It doesn’t leave my skin cloudy. I can apply my moisturizer after. I’m able to apply my makeup without any issues. I’ll definitely continue to use and will repurchase.

I bought this from Bolo twice. The first time, it was great. No cast, moisturizing, perfect for tretinoin skin.Second time, the product is separating and a weird texture.I know Bolo is an authorized retailer for Paula's Choice, but I'm just going to buy it from PC and wait for the shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for this lifelong rosacea sufferer

M. · June 26, 2015

Having had rosacea all my life (and now ACNE rosacea at 40+, lucky me), I bought this as part of a much-needed skin care overhaul. I was concerned this might be too heavy or add oil, and also that there would be a visible white cast from the zinc oxide in this formula. I needn't have worried. This product is extraordinary, and does what it claims. It provides deep moisturization with zero greasiness or heaviness. My skin is exceedingly sensitive, and this lotion calms it, makes it soft, and feels weightless all day long. I use this under light makeup and it causes NO extra shine and becomes invisible as soon as it's applied. An extremely effective product which I highly recommend. Alleluia!

3.0 out of 5 stars If your eyes burn with some sunscreens then is this for you?

T. · March 13, 2024

I cannot use this product. I use other Paula’s Choice products and have no problems with the tinted sunscreen, however the moisturizer bothered my sensitive eyes. It is not the only one that does, but the moisturizers with sunscreen protection do bother my eyes, and so badly that I have to wash my face, if I can, to get it off my face. If you have the same problems with sunscreen moisturizers, then do not buy this one. I have a bunch that I label with magic markers “not for face” and then just use them on my arms, neck or chest. They happily do not go to waste. Why? Why can’t the companies get people with sensitive eyes to try out their products? Either they don’t care about the people, or they don’t want to know. I know that there are probably a lot of people who would volunteer to test the products, before they hit the market. Other than that, the product was a nice one, except for the eye problems.

Lovely light SPF

H.L. · October 28, 2018

Absolutely love this. I’ve been looking for a good SPF for a while that I can wear under my make up. This is PERFECT. Nice and light, good coverage, great under make up and leaves my skin hydrated all day. It also is gentle enough to use on my rosacea cheeks. It’s my staple daytime moisturiser.
