Defense Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30

- glowy - hydrating - doesn’t pill on it’s own (with serum it does a bit) - works under makeup - for all skin types (dry skin might need to add a moisturizer) - minimal white cast (I believe all mineral sunscreens leave a white cast, but if u know o...

- pricey (38€for 60ml) - feels tacky - runs down when sweating

I was really excited to try this. The glowy finish is really pretty and this sunscreen almost feels like makeup.

Took a long time to absorb. I also noticed some pilling.

Defense Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30

A lovely glowy mineral spf moisturizer. After watching a Dr. Dray video, she recommended using baby mineral spf around eyes to brighten dark circles. So i didnt like the baby spf, but i found this PC glow spf and it was beautiful! I use this around...

Nothing really standing out as bad about this spf. Maybe having a slight tint to cacel dark areas a bit more. A bit pricey, but tube is a decent size, especially i just use around my eyes- will last a while

Defense Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30

This product has been the best SPF for my skin. I started with a CeraVe SPF and I did not like how it was very patchy and had a whitecast. This SPF from Paula’s Choice has a bit of a beige/light tan colour which is good for people of color, like myse...

This SPF has a bit of a smell to it. It isn’t too strong but just to inform you that some people may not like the scent.

Defense Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30

I saw a couple of TikTokers rave about this so I had to give it a shot, even though I absolutely love my Drmtlgy. So I ordered the mini of the PC Defense Essential Glow on Amazon. For starters, because it’s an SPF I need to add a lot of product; I us...

Overall, it’s a nice moisturizer with SPF but I’m going to stick to the Drmtlgy one because the niacinamide and tocopherol are higher up on the list, and it’s an SPF 46. Plus it’s universally tinted.
