Our take
Reapplying sunscreen over makeup is the perennial problem, and a mist is the easiest answer, if it actually protects. This one runs on six modern filters including Tinosorb S and Mexoryl SX, sprays as a fine even fog, and dries fast with a no-sebum finish, which is why it is #1 in sun sprays. Best as a daytime reapplication mist over makeup; spray a generous, even layer for real SPF, and note it is alcohol-based with a light natural scent. As a top-up mist it does the job well.
Worth knowing
- Must spray a real layerA mist only reaches its SPF if you apply generously and evenly; a light spritz is not full protection.
- Alcohol and light fragrance oilsIt is alcohol-based and contains a little geranium and rose oil, so very dry or fragrance-sensitive skin should note it.
