Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA+++

This is actually my first facial sunscreen ever, I bought the 30ml size (I don't see a bigger size available for this).

Kiehl`s consultant told me that this sunscreen would not leave any white cast. BUT it actually does. My skin tone is Ivory Beige, and it looks like I put some makeup on (foundation or BB cream of 1 tone lighter which is Silk Porcelain). I am happy hahahaha …Read more

This is one of my favourite SPF's. It is extremely light weight with no residue.

It gives high protection, also it does not interfere with other products or makeup.

I highly recommend this SPF.

What I like about this sunscreen is that it's not sticky, I can't feel it once applied, foundation applies nicely on top and offers good UV protection.

I'm neutral about the packaging and faint smell but not complaining either.

On to the negative now, albeit not being oily per se - no residue on the face - the film it forms is very shiny, looks like having …Read more

I've been using this now in the summer for 3 months, I've been very impressed so far with the formula! It's a white gel base however it does not look white on the face and it's an amazing sunscreen to put on under makeup. I went to a music festival for 5 days and everyday I put this as a base before my foundation and it worked out really well! My makeup stayed put for 12 hours …Read more

I do not know where to start with this. My version has parabens in the composition, which is the first drawback. It is thick, sticky, and oily from the get-go. I have tried it on three or four different occasions and after the last time I woke up the next morning with 3-4 painful red pustules and one big disgusting white one (sorry for being so descriptive but I was really upset to see and feel …Read more

I apply 1/4 teaspoon everyday on my face alone just to get the adequate protection and its soooo greasy and oily. It wouldnt be the case if i used a japanese sunscreen and applied the same amount. This just stays on the face and leaves a white cast. I honestly cant wait to finish using my jumbo bottle(wrong decision to buy the jumbo size) and go back to japanese sunscreens. Verdict: overhyped!

I'm on my second tube and it's time for a review.

I really like how "dry" this feels on my face. All the other 50 spf sunscreens make me look pale and shiny like a disco ball. This behaves like a daily moisturizer, i forget i even have it on. It's light and comfortable.

I was very afraid that when they repackaged they might have also altered the …Read more

I love this product. Everything breaks me out and this one did not. Not super duper hydrating , but you might wear it over your usual day cream.

I wanted to give this a 3 star, but considering that I've been comparing it to Japanese sunscreen standards, it is a 4 among the offers in European / American markets.

First of all, it is not only SPF50, but also PA+++, which is far more important in my books than only protecting from sunburning UVBs. I'm less likely to trust a sunscreen that only says broad spectrum on the …Read more

I returned this. The Asian version is much better, but the one they sell in the states has a strange formula. It burns my dry skin, and I had to return it after using it once.
