Community reality check
What shoppers
noticed.
One enthusiastic take and one critical take, so the consensus never reads cleaner than it really is.
“Let me preface by saying this review is unincentivized. I am on my eighth bottle, and do not ever intend on stopping. I found about the Serum Skin Tint a few years ago, and was absolutely blown away by the effects. At that time, I'd tried and failed to find a mineral sunscreen that was non-comedogenic, nourishing, fragrance-free, and didn't make me look as if I rolled about in dry clay.”
“I've been using this foundation for a long time and overall love it, but my most recent order the foundation is hard to get out with the dropper and it comes out clumpy. I've tried shaking it and nothing works. This has never happened and not sure if they gave me an old one.”
