View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A cloud-like cream that delivers the hydration you love from Moisture Surge™, as well as sheer sun protection for every skin tone.
The formula looks opaque going on, so you can see where you apply it.
Start in the center of your face, applying to the highest points (where the sun hits first).
Pat or massage outward, covering your entire face.
Pat or massage in until fully sheer.
What Glass adds
This is a good choice for a daily moisturizer with added sun protection. It's not a replacement for a dedicated, higher-SPF sunscreen for extended periods outdoors, but it serves well for everyday wear. The hydration aspect is a definite plus.
