Received this in the Sun Safety Kit 2026 and I really liked it. I think there’s been some negative chatter about Tower 28 sunscreens in the past. My skin tone is light so the tint is manageable for me without a glaring white cast. I wore this on a summer trip through Paris and the UK with no burning or burning of the eyes. It performed well under makeup. I am picky about my facial sunscreens and I would buy this again.

ALMOST perfect
I’m so mad - it’s ALMOST perfect, but I just can’t get past how oily it looks.
No white cast. No breakouts. No pilling (even with makeup on). No burning eyes. Great for dry skin. Feels nice on.
But even as someone who likes a slightly dewy, glowy look, this is just a bit too much. If I want to use enough to get actual sun protection, it makes me look like I’ve been having fever sweats all day long.
It helps using a setting powder or other matte products over top of it, but it’s really hard for me to wear on no/low makeup days.

Great for dry and/or sensitive skin. Not for oily.
The texture and tint are great. Doesn’t break out my (very) sensitive skin. However, if you have oily skin, you should try something else before this. I look WET after putting this on and after going out in the heat, it looks like I dunked my face in water. I hope SO bad they make a matte version of this sunscreen! Will still be using this sunscreen because (like I said) it’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out.

Love this formula so much!
My favorite mineral sunscreen ever. The texture is cushiony, it spreads easily, and the finish is so hydrating and dewy that I can just wear a serum and skip moisturizer when I use this. This comes out as a light flesh-tone color, so this does not give a white cast. I used this in the days following microneedling sessions for sun protection, and this did not irritate my skin at all during that time.

Magic in a bottle
I’ve tried virtually every cruelty free dry-skin-friendly mineral sunscreen and this is the only one that looks and feels like SKINNN. Like a slightly more beautiful version of your own skin with a gentle, healthy glow. It’s also the only one where I can lather on the recommended amount + reapply throughout the day without any issue - no unsightly buildup, no clinging to pores or dry patches, no greasy mess. Idk how they did it but I’m just grateful they did - please never change the formula!!

One of the best sunscreens
I’ve definitely noticed that this has helped my acne clear and I haven’t got any sunburns- only issue is that it pills but if your not wearing makeup it shouldn’t be a problem!

Best sunscreen on the market
This sunscreen is so good. The texture is so creamy and melts right in the skin. It has no white cast, doesn’t break me out, it doesn’t pill, and isn’t greasy at all. It leaves the most beautiful natural glow under my makeup. Also, this is at such a great price for a high quality product! Highly recommend!

It’s a no from me
I was excited to try this sunscreen with my points. I have dry skin and it’s very glowy, which isn’t a problem if you can set it, but it’s impossible. Any powder you put on top immediately cakes up and this sunscreen pills like crazy. it you’ll look like a grease ball. Not good.

New favorite !
I got this mini size from my Sephora rewards and it was an instant purchase for me. I love the finish on my skin and I don’t feel like I’m wearing sunscreen. No smell, no burning my eyes. It’s been so hard to find a face sunscreen I like and this is it!
