Paula's ChoiceDEFENSE Essential Glow Mineral Moisturizer with SPF 30

This, by far, is the best moisturizer/SPF combo that I have found for my dry to oily skin type. Like most mineral sunscreens, it goes on a bit thick and cake-y, but it absorbs well and doesn't leave a cast. It moisturizes my skin all day long without making it more oily or drier. It's like it targets and balances all those problem points that other brands made worse!And I've seen substantial blemish improvement since I've started using it. 3Better yet, if blemishes do form, this does not aggravate or make them worse. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Unlike most non-chemical sunscreens, this one does not leave thick white coloring. In fact, it has a little bit of a tan color but that doesn't show on the skin as well. This also leaves a nice smooth surface, almost like a foundation primer. No scent.

Love the subtle glow just wish spf was higher

I am very picky when it comes to sunscreen on my face. I have found very few that I like this one does not burn your eyes. That is an issue that I have found with a lot of facial sunscreens. They either burn your eyes or they’re very white the lotion is an earthy neutral color maybe a very light brown in color this is a especially helpful when you don’t have very light skin cause some sunscreen can make your skin look lighter and give it a white cast. I am older and have dry skin so I kinda wish that it was a little bit more hydrating, however I don’t think it was geared for older or dryer, skins, but for sunscreen it’s excellent. I am a glow girl, so I like the fact that it gives some glow to the skin is a winner for me. I would probably repurchase, but I wanted to buy a small one just to be sure I liked it. You really need a sunscreen if you use retinol and alpha hydroxy and BHA.

The product itself I'm happy with. It's lightweight, absorbs, protective, light pleasant scent, doesn't break me out, etc.But, I had a huge problem opening this package and finding out how small this bottle was. Granted, I did look at other .5fl oz. containers I had around the house to compare size for $12, but I will admit I was still pretty shocked how small it was and how much product is actually in the tube.Additionally, I wanted to try the smaller bottle to make sure it's a product that would work well for me. But, it's hard to get past paying this much money when there are certainly comparable brands/products. :(I'll enjoy the product while it last. But, I ultimately went with another option in the long term. :)

I gave this product a try and it made my skin dry. Good thing I got the smallest bottle. Zero Stars

This comes in a really small tube that at first seems like a poor purchase. I felt cheated at first and then I tried the product and realized that a little will go a long way. I like the lightweight coverage it provides and so far it has worked well as a sunscreen . If I am in full sun I usually add a SPF 50 or 70 . It gives the dewy look that is popular right now.
