#1
Best Overall Alternative
- Size: 29.6 ml
The why
A watery SPF 50+ hybrid gel with hyaluronic acid that doubles as a silicone-blurring makeup primer. It fits oily, combination, and reactive skin when you want a dewy finish, but breakouts, greasiness, and pilling are real YMMV complaints.
One minus
Dewy finish can turn greasy on oily skin
Good forSensitive Skin, Dry Skin
