Reviews
Illuminating.
"I kind of hate the SPF step of my regimen. I don't know why. I hate the stuff on my palms, the mineral options dry out my skin, it's incompatible with my other skincare products, et al. Just a step I endured until now. This is incredible. It is light, smooth, and creates a lovely luminous finish; it's even a beautiful primer. It even SMELLS amazing. And? It is FSA-eligible. Best SPF I've ever used, and all I want for good, if I can manage it somehow!"
Protects skin and gives a glow
"I like this sunscreen much better than others on the market. It’s not a thick cream that makes your pores clogged and don’t need much to cover your face. I like the tint as well as it give just a hint of I have been at the beach. I could just wear this and a bit of cream blush and a lipgloss and mascara and feel light but still put together."
Perfect for my skin
"I have combination skin that tends to get oily quick with sunscreen or foundation with SPF. I find this to be the perfect balance for my skin right now, that goes on with a slight dewiness but does not get overly oily throughout the day. It has a slight glow to it too, which allows me to just leave the house with just this and a bit of concealer, and I feel my skin looks great."
Good product but customer service is terrible
"I bought 2 tubes of this sunscreen directly from the Kate Somerville website and they sent product that expires in 7 months! They refused to send me fresh product. They don't care about the freshness of product or satisfying new customers. Customer service is all AI and if you eventually get a person, they promise someone will call you and they never do. I recommend buying from a retailer where you can check the expire date. Otherwise good product but the lid does not stay on in a beach bag."
Fabulous
"Great protective sunscreen! I’m brown. I have been on the lookout for a mineral sunscreen without white cast and have been disappointed. I was worried when I first put it on, but within two minutes it was completely invisible. I put on A LOT too. And it blended right in! I wear it along or under makeup. I’d recommend waiting a few minutes after putting on to apply makeup over."
Old Product
"Today I received my eagerly-anticipated order of the Hydrate Illuminating SPF 50 Drops, but I noticed that the product expires in 7 months. I am SO upset at that. Sunscreen should be good for at least 2-3 years before expiring. If I had known I would be getting an "old" product that had such a short shelf life, I would have saved my money. KS, you can, and should, do better."
Allergic
"I usually love your products so I was very excited about an SPF product. So bummed that I bought 2 and I am allergic to it. I broke out in a rash within a few minutes of putting it on. Also, it smells a bit like bug spray."
Texture
"I previously used the Kate Somerville product in the white packaging, and truly loved the formula. It did not leave my skin feeling greasy at all. However, this new formulation, which is marketed for hydration and radiance, feels excessively heavy on my skin. It leaves my face looking oily and overly shiny, which does not suit my skin type. But I think it does the work by protecting my skin. Already found the original formula on ebay and will be buying it. . Thank you!"
My fav daily SPF
"My favorite daily SPF. I love the tint, it’s perfect for my light skin. It moisturizes and goes on smooth, without being heavy. This product makes protecting my skin easy! Definitely recommend!"
