Let me start by saying I’ve tried countless moisturizers with SPF, and most either pill under makeup or leave me looking like a greasy mess. This one? Game-changer. The texture is lightweight yet deeply hydrating—it sinks in like a dream without that heavy, suffocating feel.

As someone with sensitive skin and contact lenses, I appreciate how this doesn’t migrate into my eyes and turn them into watery disaster zones. The subtle citrusy scent is refreshing but never overpowering—a rare find in sunscreens!

Here’s the kicker: it plays *nicely* with makeup. No pilling, no ghostly white cast (even on my medium skin tone), just a smooth canvas. I use it as my last skincare step before primer, and my foundation glides on flawlessly. On lazy days, I’ll even skip makeup entirely—just this moisturizer and a dab of powder for a healthy, natural glow.

Yes, the price made me wince initially (who casually drops $80 on lotion?!), but a pea-sized amount covers my entire face and neck. Bonus: I’ve used it on my Sahara-dry elbows during winter, and within two nights they were baby-soft again. For dry/sensitive skin folks who hate compromising between hydration and sun protection? Worth every penny.
