Essential Tinted SPF 30

Essential Tinted SPF 30

This is the first sunscreen that I like putting on my face on the morning! Blends in well and feels nourishing, not cloggy. Thank you!!! So happy to find a sunscreen for my face that I'm happy to use consistently.

Go to tinted sunscreen!

I’ve tried several tinted sunscreens and many of them gave my reactive skin a hard time! The Kari Gran has been a holy grail find for me. I live in a high desert and have dry, acne prone skin and never had any problems with this sunscreen. It is quite dewy, which I love, but does soak in a little after an hour or so. The tint smooths my skin texture and tone amazingly but I do need more cover on top if truly trying to hide blemishes. I use the light tint but tan well in the summer and am going to try the medium and see if it’s not too dark for me!

Room to grow, but overall a great formula

The Essential Tinted SPF serum provides a great base for an everyday natural look. It's not a perfect shade match for me, but it does help smooth out any uneveness of skin tone, which I appreciate. I use the tinted version in the lightest shade and mix a dab of a darker tinted moisturizer to better color match for the summer, but am considering using the non-tinted version to see if getting the right shade might prove easier (I have fair, olive skin with neutral undertones and it is difficult to get the right balance of warmth). I do pair it with a setting powder to help reduce residual oiliness and shine, but have not had any issues with it causing congestion or irritation. Major bonus is there are also no added fragrances (though some might not like the natural scent of the oils used).
