SPF 50+ essence with a lightweight, moisturizing finish; may pill under makeup.

This SPF 50+ essence feels incredibly light and hydrating, often praised for its subtle scent. It's ideal for those who dislike heavy sunscreens but may pill when layered with some moisturizers or foundation. Suitable mostly for skin that tolerates layering complexity.

HG sunscreen I’ve have tried Purito unscented & klairs soft UV essence and this one has a much nicer finish to the skin and with a PPD of 32 it’s more protective too!

I haven't heard people use this brand/line much here.

Mentioned

when I use it under my sunscreen in the morning (I use Klairs UV Essence), and then put my foundation on, it seems to pill.

Positive

I'm not sure if it's the moisturizer, sunscreen, or the foundation that's pilling

Positive

I'll probably stick with using the Glow Recipe Pink Juice moisturizer in the mornings and keep the Oat So Simple as my nighttime one
