The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This gel formula is built around an oil free, weightless base with an instant blurring, pore blurring effect, so it's meant to work double duty as sun protection and a makeup primer. The soft touch finish is the main character here, giving skin a smoothed over look before you add foundation or go bare faced.
At SPF 40, it sits a bit below some of the SPF50+ options in this category, which is worth factoring in if you're outdoors for long stretches. The 50 milliliter, 1.69 fluid ounce bottle is sized for regular daily use, and the formula is unscented and cruelty free.
With 230 ratings averaging 4.4 stars, this sunscreen has built a strong, consistent reputation, particularly among people using it as a primer step rather than a standalone sunscreen.
Pros
- Pore blurring, primer like gel finish that can double as a makeup base
- Oil free, weightless texture with a soft touch feel
- Unscented and cruelty free formula
- 4.4 star average across 230 ratings
Cons

- Higher priced than some comparable daily sunscreens
Performance notes
The gel base is formulated to be oil free and weightless with an instant blurring effect, which is why it's positioned as a primer as much as a sunscreen. SPF 40 broad spectrum coverage offers solid daily protection, though it's worth reapplying if you're spending extended time outdoors.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 230 ratings is a strong result, suggesting buyers are happy with both the blurring effect and the sun protection, even though the SPF is on the lower end of what's available in this category.

Frequently asked questions
Can this replace my makeup primer?
It's designed with a pore blurring, primer like effect, so many people do use it as a base under makeup while getting SPF 40 protection at the same time. If you want a heavier duty blurring effect for photos or events, you might still prefer a dedicated primer on top.
Is SPF 40 enough for daily protection?
SPF 40 broad spectrum protection can offer solid coverage for everyday situations like commuting or running errands. For long stretches outdoors, reapplying every couple of hours and pairing it with a hat or shade is still a smart approach.
Is this good for oily skin?
The gel texture is oil free and weightless with a soft touch, blurring finish, which tends to appeal to oily and combination skin types looking for a matte feeling base. Since it isn't water resistant, reapplying after heavy sweating is a good habit.
