This did absolutely nothing for me, it is too light and didn't hydrate my dry skin at all. Will not be repurchasing.

I feel like this is very elegant, high-quality sunscreen. It's fairly moisturizing without being greasy and leaves a matte finish. It's loaded with antioxidants. It does leave a faint white cast (one ...Read more
