Lightweight, Non-Greasy Sunscreen Perfect for Pool Days

I really enjoy using this sunscreen! It has a smooth, lightweight feel and isn’t greasy like many other sunscreens I’ve tried. It rubs in easily without leaving a heavy or sticky residue, which makes it comfortable to wear while spending time outdoors.
The SPF 30 protection is perfect for days outside, and I especially like using it while relaxing at our pool. It has a pleasant floral scent that makes it feel more like a skincare product than a typical sunscreen. Overall, this is a sunscreen I look forward to using and would definitely recommend. Product provided at no cost.

Feels nice under makeup. However it did not hold up in the sun. My face got burned!

Hi Michelle, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you like how it feels under makeup. For sun protection, please remember to reapply regularly and consider using a broad-spectrum sunscreen for added protection. Stay safe!

Amazing Sunscreen! I love that I can still wear sunscreen without the harmful chemicals or the white cast! I put this on after my morning skin care routine and moisturizer, and before make up! It looks great!

I also tried the sunscreen in place of my moisturizer. However, since I have dry skin, I found that this works better in combination with my face moisturizer. The sun screen itself is not drying, but I also wouldn’t say it’s moisturizing. It’s also not heavy but not light weight. It’s somewhere in the middle.

I’m allergic to many natural ingredients and have sensitive skin, but found no reactions to this product.

I will be incorporating into my regular routine especially in the summer when I’m outside more and need to protect my skin.

I received this product for free to try for 30 days and to provide an honest review.

After 30 days, I did not notice any change in my skin complexion - it wasn’t better or worse - but I did notice it is better protected from the sun, and the product does work well as a sun screen. I usually don’t wear any sun screen because I haven’t found a good natural one that stays and doesn’t have a white cast. This one stays and no white cast. I have some sun spots, so I’d say using this is better than not to prevent more damage.

I have and would recommend this product to friends and family who care about their health!

one of the best mineral sunscreens I’ve tried

the sunscreen blends in really well (especially for a mineral sunscreen) and wears nicely under my makeup. It does feel a tiny bit oily on my skin but overall isn’t bad & doesn’t dry my skin out. overall I think it gives my skin a nice little glow & does the job well

Likes: Safe for all skin types and great coverage from the sun
Improvements: The feeling on your hands after applying
Lots of protection, no heavy feeling!

This sunscreen felt very light on my face and even though it went on white it quickly rubbed in and felt like there was nothing there. I was out in the sun quite a bit and didn’t get even a hint of a sunburn or even rosy cheeks! The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the feeling the residue left on my hands after applying but I suspect that’s the minerals. All in all a very solid sunscreen and it’s great that it’s safe for my daughter who has very sensitive skin and eczema.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Invisible Matte Barrier Defense Ceramide Sunscreen Serum Face Serum! We're so happy to hear that it provided effective protection without feeling heavy on your face. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to meet your needs. <3

I really really like this

I really like this. The smell is so faint - love that. The bottle squirts out the right amount for my face - great. Not oily or greasy -great. No breakouts - great for sensitive skin. I can’t taste its effectiveness so I take your word that it provides sunscreen coverage.

OMG, thank you for your positive review of our Invisible Matte Barrier Defense Ceramide Sunscreen Serum. We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the faint scent, easy application, and non-greasy formula. We understand the importance of sensitive skin, so we're happy to hear that it hasn't caused any breakouts for you. <3
