I’ve been using this daily and it has really made a difference in my skin. My dark spots are slowly improving, and it provides great protection from sun damage. As a plus, it has no smell and doesn’t give a white cast and is mattifying (I have veryyyy oily skin)
Fantastic mineral SPF.
Daily Physical Defense Sunscreen
I’m very impressed with this sunscreen as it is very light but not drying or greasy feel for my sensitive skin. I used a lot of physical sunscreen but this one is so far the best. No mess on hands or odd color on face.
I love it, it’s a great product. We all need to protect our faces.
