Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Multi-Defense Aqua UV Gel SPF 50 with 8 Anti-Oxidants, 1 Ounce

Light weight gel, South Florida worthy, great for anyone prone to break-outs and women of color who want to avoid that weird "blue-grey" film that some high SPFs can leave on your face. I don't find it drying per se but I do find that, unlike Clinique, I have to use a moisturizer with this product. Still love it but the price is bananas. If using daily, makes sense to get a subscription because it only lasts a month.

Estée Lauder once again made a great product from the Perfectionist line. It’s not cheap, but neither are the results. A small amount is all that’s needed. I will continue to purchase along with other items in the Profectionist line.

I'm not a fan of chemical sunscreens, so you should know that off the bat. I don't like what they do to the environment, I don't like how they often irritate my skin, and I don't like what they do to the human body (endocrine disrupter). So, it would be fair to ask why I ordered this. Honestly, I did not know when I requested it that it was a chemical sunscreen. Anyway, with that out of the way, if YOU like chemical sunscreens, this is a really cosmetically elegant one. Usually chemical sunscreens burn my skin and cause a lot of irritation. Perfectionist Pro did not do that to me. I appreciate that it is SPF 50, and non drying. The gel cream does provide some moisture, so if you have normal to oily skin, this alone will likely be adequate. If you have drier or dehydrated skin, you'll still want your trusty moisturizer first. The texture of the gel cream is nice, and doesn't ever feel heavy. It supposedly helps with "anti pollution" for your skin. POC will like this product, as the chemical aspect of the sunscreen means that your skin tone won't change from application.

The texture is everything a sunscreen should be. Does not have a strong smell. Sits well under make up.

This is a great, weightless sunscreen. It’s comfortable to wear with our without makeup— it doesn’t make my skin feel oily and doesn’t weigh down, or pill under my makeup. It’s unscented and an easy step to add into my makeup routine.

I'm obsessed with sunscreens. I wear sunscreen daily all year round and reapply as directed. When I rate sunscreens, I rate them as a daily wear item. It needs to protect me from the sun; it needs to be completely invisible; it needs to play nicely with my other daily wears; it needs to be easy to reapply on the go. This is a good sunscreen. I'm a little annoyed with how much I like this because it's pricey (currently $43) so I don't know how often I will have it in rotation. But it's unique enough that I'll put it on my list and will probably always keep an eye out for it and/or hope to find it at TJ Maxx or on a clearance shelf.The sunscreen comes boxed - the box contains an abundance of info. The sunscreen tube is safety sealed and tamper proof - with significantly less info on it.The sunscreen is unscented but it does have an (undoubtedly unintentional) sort of plastic smell. I've noticed my unscented Estee Lauder products have a similar smell - probably ingredients or some byproduct of manufacturing. I don't give demerits for unintentional scents but I like to mention it in case someone has a VERY sensitive nose.I was skeptical about the "Gel" descriptor. But the texture is unique to this formula. It feels like a gel - especially smoothing it on. It seems to melt and settle with less rubbing than a lotion or cream. I was worried that there would be a white cast when I started applying it because there is a bit of a sheen but it settles quickly and then blends perfectly.I use this on top of one of my am Estee Lauder moisturizers and they interact well. No pulling or weird buildup.

This is a good brand, so you expect all the products to be good, and this is no exception.Pros:- Locks in moisture for the day while also providing UV protection.- Works well on my hybrid-oily skin.- My skin is sensitive, and this doesn't irritate it.- The mild tint blends in to my skin hue well.Cons:- It's a bit pricey for how much you get in my opinion.Overall, I'd recommend it.

Well this is a creamy gel with a nice feel when you apply it. It has anti-oxidants and boasts an SPF rating of fifty, which is quite good. I enjoy the feel of this and have used it sparingly. The one ounce size gives you quite a lot really but do use it sparingly and spread it well. The Estee Lauder name lends itself to quality and this seems no exception.
