I’ve been eyeing this SPF for quite some time but I kept buying other ones. Influenster sent this to me recently for a review, which I am surprised at bc I thought this was the best selling SPF at Sephora at one point. The bottle requires shaking, this formula dries matte and gives a slight white cast, which is ok if you wear makeup – it does fade a bit over time. Since it dries matte it can be a good base for makeup. There is a fragrance which a lot of Shiseido products carry, which I don’t mind. I also have the blue bottle version from Shiseido which is still expensive but better value, but that one has a dewy finish and is a chemical sunscreen, as opposed to a chemical/mineral hybrid which this one is.
Price: $35 for 1 oz / 30 ml, or $48 for 1.7 oz. As an SPF connoisseur I actually think this is a bit overpriced, you have to apply an ample amount of sunscreen to get full protection and I can see this bottle going super quickly if you reapply. However, Shiseido is considered a higher end brand… so it really depends on what you want to spend your money on! Get it here on Amazon.
