Andalou Naturals Sheer Tint Spf 30 Vitamin C Beauty Balm 2 Fz

Caveat: Different skin, different results. This review is based on my experience. I have dry, fair/medium skin with cool-neutral undertones. I was hoping this BB cream could cover up my hyperpigmentation. Pros: This BB cream has everything I need! The zinc oxide is a physical sunblock that does not have health concerns like some chemical filters in other products. The hyaluronic acid quenches my thirsty skin and the variety of vitamins and antioxidants helps promote healthy skin. It has none of the ingredients that I am trying to avoid (e.g. parabens) and gets a low hazard score (1) from the EWG's Cosmetics Database (http://www.ewg.org/skindeep). The rich cream goes on very smoothly and evenly, giving me a healthy glow. Coverage is sheer (similar to a tinted moisturizer) after proper blending. Please note that blending is essential! Neutral: It has a natural citrus scent which I really like; however, it might bother folks that are very sensitive to scents. Cons: It is a little pricey but, given the ingredients, I think it is reasonably priced. It doesn't completely cover my hyperpigmentation (I didn't expect that it would) but it makes the blotches less noticeable. Overall: I really like this BB cream! I has everything I want (and none of what I don't) and leaves my skin looking and feeling great! Read more

This sunblock is mineral based and therefore probably a lot better sunblock than many chemicalyl oriented sunscreens. It goes on smoothly and has a nice feel to it, but I question the label of "sheer tint." It looks dayglo orange. Perhaps it is a "sheet tint" for an Oompa Loompa but definitely not for me. This particular product turned out to be a complete waste of money, but I would not rule out using other products from this company in the future. Read more

Has a delicately sweet, fruity scent. So far it is has been great - no skin irritation, good coverage and blend with my skin. Read more

Good color for my face (I am average white), but too greasy. I have a normal to dry skin, but this product seems a little dry when you apply it, then my entire face is greasy and it never absorbs. I like the color (all physical sunscreen I tried did make me look white, even the "transparent" ones). I am a little disappointed. Also, I do not use foundation usually, and this feels like foundation-- for me this is a negative. Maybe it will be a great sunscreen for the winter months? I might wait and see. I do feel it protects me well from the sun and I really like the ingredients. Read more

It is a sunscreen, not a BB cream. Read more
