The Edyt Score
4.6 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For a daily face SPF if Medium is the match. Too ashy if the tint is light on you, too sheer if you need full cover.
Formula standards
4.6/5
A premium fluid. Blend it. Zinc can still show if you do not work it in.
The verdict
Buy it if Medium is right and you want mineral SPF. Reapply.
