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.

Overview
d'alba Piedmont built this cushion around broad spectrum SPF50+ protection in a vegan formula meant for all skin types. It's designed to apply in a thin, hydrating layer rather than a thick cream, which fits the brand's positioning as a lightweight, skincare forward sunscreen.
The cushion compact format makes it simple to carry and reapply during the day, similar to a makeup cushion, without needing a separate bottle or your hands to apply it. At 0.88 ounces, it's a compact size built for portability rather than as a single bottle for months of daily use.
With 141 ratings averaging 4.4 stars, this cushion has a solid, above average reputation, even though its review count is on the smaller side compared to some of the more established sellers in this category.

Frequently asked questions
Is this sunscreen good for sensitive or reactive skin?
It's marketed for all skin types and formulated to be vegan, though specific ingredient details aren't listed in the product data we reviewed. If you have known sensitivities, patch testing before regular use is a sensible step, as with any new sunscreen.
Can I wear this under or over makeup?
The cushion format and thin layer application make it a reasonable option for reapplying over makeup during the day, since cushion compacts are generally designed for on the go touch ups rather than a single heavy application.
How big is the cushion?
It comes in a 0.88 ounce size, which is fairly compact. If you go through sunscreen quickly, it's worth planning for repurchasing sooner than you might with a larger bottle.
