Product reviews from our experts…

This luxurious SPF serum gives excellent UVA and UVB protection at the same time as protecting skin against free radicals and pollution. It glides onto the skin like silk and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished, with no ghosting whatsoever. Best layered over skincare and before makeup.

I’m also impressed by this brand’s commitment to sourcing ethical and sustainable products as well as their circular model for packaging.

–Emma Freeman

I love that these drops aren’t greasy at all yet they don’t leave your skin feeling super matte. They also sit great under makeup which makes them perfect for everyday wear.

It’s also great to see the brand value transparency about ingredients and manufacturing processes as well as putting thought into the lifecycle of their products.

–Ash Quinn

This is such a wonderfully innovative product! These gorgeous SPF drops are so easy to apply and leave my skin feeling soft and nourished. I wear sunscreen every day and really appreciate a great face spf option which acts as a perfect primer under makeup and isn’t greasy! I’m impressed the brand is offering refills for their products and I look forward to when there is a refill for this one too!
