This is definitely the best facial SPF I have tried and it also works wonderfully as a primer! I first tried this when I got it in one of the asos beauty boxes and I was so impressed!
It applies really nicely, doesn’t leave a greasy finish and doesn’t take long to settle into the skin. My foundation applies flawlessly over it, it doesn’t affect the wear of my foundation at all apart from making a lovely base and giving it a really nice finish.
It’s also great wearing it alone without putting makeup over it and I found this gives my skin a nice healthy glow. Really enjoyed using this and I would purchase it again 👍🏻

I am in my mid 20's with combination, tanned tone skin and brown eyes. My hair is dark brown, combination with normal texture.
I’m really enjoying this primer. With having oily skin I really struggle to fit SPF in my routine and not end up a greasy mess by lunch time but this really fits the bill. It definitely helps the staying power of my foundation, protects my skin from sun damage and has a lovely dewy finish. My only problem is that i have to keep it away from my eyes as it irritates them, which I don’t find with other primers I use and don’t usually give a second thought to applying them over the eye area. It doesn’t upset my blemish prone skin though.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with normal, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with coarse texture.
Although this is billed as a primer, moisturiser and SPF I think the primer aspect lets it down a bit. I can notice a slight blurring effect but it doesn’t really stop my foundation from sinking into my pores (which is the main thing I look for in a primer). However, it’s nice enough as a moisturiser and with the added bonus of having 30 SPF so I would repurchase it for that reason.

This is a good product. It works as a moisturiser, spf and a primer. It’s pretty hydrating but sinks in quickly. There’s no ashy or white tone to it but it does leave a lovely radiant sheen. I think it has a bit of a pore blurring effect but it doesn’t do much for lines. I do notice that makeup lasts longer over the top of this. I have repurchased this as I think it does a good job and lasts a while. I’ve taken a star off cause I don’t love the smell which is quite strong - but in fairness it doesn’t linger once applied.
