“The sunscreen feels nice and hydrating when first applied, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. However, it takes a long time to sink into the skin (4 hours) to a point where it doesn't feel sticky if I touch my face. I also can't apply makeup over it, as it doesn't settle nicely and my makeup looks horrendous. I also found that the spf would gather up in any creases (like on my eyelid) and leave a white line in any facial creases I have. It does however feel very protective, and I will gladly use this spf whenever I'm going hiking in the Norwegian mountains and I feel like I need extra protection from the sun and the elements/harsh wind etc. I don't think I would buy this sunscreen again unless I suddenly take up hiking on a more regular basis. One thing I very much appreciate is how clear the instructions are when it comes to how much spf is needed, that is something we need more of on spf labels!”
“I’m so pleased with this Sunscreen, I’m on my second tube of it. Goes on easily over my moisturiser and doesn’t pil which sometimes happens when layering products. It does look quite white when first applying it, but after a few mins it totally sinks in. Make up also goes over the top excellently. Love that it’s got the niacinamide in it.
Oh! And importantly, I wear contact lenses. I always sweep the last amount of residue of the product over my eyelids, in the past, the previous sunscreens I used would sort of adhere to my lenses, not this stuff. Customer for life.”
“I never really used a daily sunscreen until I tried this. Gives skin a dewy healthy look and feels comfortable all day long as well as protecting it which I have only started doing when found this. Another awesome product from Dr Sam.”
“This is by far the best sunscreen I've ever tried, and the only one I use now. It genuinely does make my makeup look better when underneath for everyday use, and yet is protective enough for more intensive sun exposure. I've worn it multiple times on the beach without even a hint of sun getting through (and I burn extremely easily). So thankful for this product, it has made sticking to a daily sunscreen habit possible for me.”
“Really wanted to like this, but I have found all of the claims to be false. I apply generously as instructed and over three hours later I am still waiting for the product to sink in - yes I do spend plenty of time working it gently into my skin. I can't put it anywhere near my eyes, as it runs off my brows and BURNS my eyes. Make-up underneath is a big no-no too, as my foundation just gets stuck in my pores.
Also noticed a white caste to my skin, where the product slides about on my face as it wears during the day. I honestly don't know how or why it treats me this way, but this sunscreen definitely isn't it for me. The only time I've enjoyed wearing it is on exceptionally hot summer's days - and that's mostly because I'm too busy fighting off bugs to worry about how sticky and greasy my face and neck feel.”
