As somebody who’s on prescription retinol and has acquired laser remedies, my pores and skin is extremely delicate to solar publicity, making sunscreen a nonnegotiable in my on a regular basis routine. 

However discovering the right face sunscreen has at all times been a problem. At instances I’ve felt like Goldilocks, making an attempt completely different formulation that have been by no means simply proper.

So once I realized the model behind glass pores and skin was launching its first-ever sunscreen, I knew I needed to attempt it. Might this be the one? In any case, the Ok-beauty model has change into a cult favourite for Instagram-worthy merchandise that really work (Watermelon Glow Sleeping Masks, anybody?).

(An FDA screening is a should for brand new over-the-counter SPF merchandise being delivered to market.) The components additionally comprises niacinamide, which helps scale back irritation and decrease pores. Lastly, and most vital for me, it guarantees zero white solid. So is the hype actual? 

In brief: sure. The sunscreen is available in a cute pink tube—par for the course for Glow Recipe merchandise—and smells like a scrumptious watermelon Jolly Rancher. I actually wish to pile on my sunscreen, so I squeezed out a very good serving to and utilized it on my face.
