I’d carefully reviewed the various recommended sunscreen options online including Vogue Beauty and selected this product predominantly because of the reports that it would not cause that chalky effect and then because of its multi protection and conservation boasts. The latter might be true, but even when you apply the product in accordance with on box instructions, you will still look like you’ve applied a weird white paste on your face. Very disappointed because it isn’t cheap. I will be donating this to a lucky Caucasian friend. 

I wanted to start using a separate broad spectrum SPF but was hesitant because I have oily skin and didn’t want any extra shine or clogged pores. I found this to be really nice - it’s mattifying enough for me, doesn’t feel heavy and has a nice light scent. I think the price is a little steep but definitely something I’d buy again when there’s a discount.

I normally love Ren products so was excited to try this. However, its very thick and quite claggy. If I just wear this with no make up over it I look really white and my skin stays tacky all day. It also has a really strong, quite herbal like smell which I'm not a fan of. I'll finish the tube as I don't like waste but won't be buying it again

Was excited to try this as I love everything REM comes out with but sadly was disappointed. Really difficult to blend it your skin and it also leaves a white cast on :( 

I bought this for myself but once I had my mother try some she absolutely loved it and had it confiscated hahaha. The texture is soft and easy to spread and it feels nourishing for my mother's mature and dehydrated skin. It has a dewy but matt finish. The light herbal? scent doesn't cause a headache and it's as gentle on the skin as the rest of REN's products. Perfect for daily use. There is a white cast but that's to be expected since this is a mineral non-tinted sunscreen. It becomes less severe when one pats it in but it's definitely something to be warned of if you are darker toned!
