“I have been searching for a good sunscreen protection for my face which would allow easy application of light foundation. This sunscreen does not pill and it goes on like a dream. I don’t feel like I am wearing sunscreen at all.”
“Fantastic sunscreen, melts in well to the skin, and very hydrating. Works really well with the rest of the range and leaves your skin feeling soft throughout the day. Unlike other sunscreens I have tried it is less heavy feeling on the skin. I have never had problems with it under foundation, tinted moisturiser, BB cream etc. It is easy to wash off at night as well.
Only slight frustration, is that if you use as directed (the 2.5ml for both neck and face a day (1.25ml or 3 pumps for each) then 50ml package doesn't last a month. It lasts 20 days, which isnt a renewal option for the product (which misleadingly starts at 4 weeks and notes that 6 weeks is most popular). For a full month's coverage you are often buying 2 a month or alternate months. Or you are using less which is against the advice provided on this website and Dr Sam's YouTube channel on amount needed and the importance of consistency.
It would be helpful if the sunscreen had a higher price point option which has 100ml in it so you were guaranteed it lasted the month. Meaning customers wouldn't have to pay for double packaging (which also feels environmentally wasteful) or double postage- it would also make the 4 -6 weeks renewal order option make more sense.
I think the same could be said for the moisturiser as well- and they have already offered this with the face mask which is great.”
“I do like this SPF very much but for me it loses as a star as it takes a while to sink in and I find that if I don't wait ages before using make up it can pill on my skin quite badly. It might be my particular product combo (I use no.7 hydraluminous foundation) and I find that works better with body shop Skin Defence factor 50++ SPF.
I really like this SPF on none makeup days tho. Leaves my skin moisturised and dewy.”
“The only sunscreen that I’ve returned to time and time again. It absorbs into the skin nicely and gives a healthy glow. Make up goes on nicely over and unlike other sunscreens I have used, this doesn’t ‘pill’ Overall a very good product! I have followed Dr Sam for a while and was thrilled when she bought out her own brand!”
