So-So
When summer time rolls around, I'm one of those people who turn into a walking grease ball. Therefore, I try to use as few products as possible in order to keep my pores from clogging up. I like my skin to breathe! I gave this a shot because I was looking for a high spf, but with some kind of hydration in it (because most sunscreen fluids don't hydrate enough). This is a little creamier than other...read more sunscreen fluids, and it does hydrate a little better than the thinner fluids, but not as thick as the typical sunscreens. It does absorb quickly and feels light on the skin which is a must, but it doesn't leave me looking greasy which is what I hate with sunscreens. Best of all, this doesn't smell bad. I absolutely HATE Hope In A Jar because I cannot stand the smell of Lavender oil (it makes me ill to smell it), so I like that this doesn't have that strong scent. I love that this is a high spf, but Philosophy is likely going to have to repackage the product to a spf 50+ due to new packaging regulations. However, this really only will protect you for about two hours like any other sunscreen, so you'll have to find some kind of other method to touch up, or just reapply this every two hours. At first, I was a bit iffy because this has Oxybenzone in it which can cause a bit of free-radicals in your skin. However, this does have antioxidants in it which help to neutralize it which is a little better. As far as anti-aging goes, I'm not entirely convinced. I'm still quite young, so I wouldn't notice anything. For someone who does have the appearance of fine lines, then this might nice to pair up with the Miracle Worker moisturizer. As far as hydration goes, this is okay, but I still feel like I need a little more hydration in it. I don't want to have to keep layering creams, so this didn't exactly have me sold. Once again, I can't say that I'm the biggest fan of Philosophy moisturizers.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
