What the community says

This lightweight, fast-absorbing chemical sunscreen contains centella, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to soothe and hydrate sensitive or redness-prone skin. It feels like a serum and layers well under makeup. However, those with niacinamide sensitivity or acne-prone skin might experience irritation or breakouts.
