Did not break me out, which is rare for me.
I usually do not write reviews, but this deserves one. My skin is softer, smoother, and brighter.
Five stars from someone very picky.
The scent is barely there, which I love. It feels like a treat to use without being overpowering.
I switched my whole routine over to products from Glow Theory and UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is easily my favorite.
