5% Vitamin C Sheer Moisturizer SPF 50

The texture is honestly weightless — it sinks in before I even finish my morning coffee, and the 5% vitamin C gives my skin a subtle glow without any stickiness. I’ve worn it on sweaty walks and it holds up as a solid SPF 50 base, though I do reapply if I’m out for hours.

I've been layering this under my makeup every morning and haven't had any pilling, which is rare for a moisturizer with SPF. The 5% vitamin C gives my skin a subtle glow by afternoon, and the acetyl zingerone makes me feel like I'm getting extra protection against city pollution.

I was skeptical about an SPF 50 that doesn’t feel like sunscreen, but this one sinks in fast and leaves zero white cast. The algae-derived amino acids actually make my skin feel softer by the end of the day, and it’s become my go-to morning step.
