Review (3/5): Lots of sun protection, but don't like feel on face.
Barb: I'm not so sure if I like wearing this L'esentia Tinted Moisturizer. The SPF 31 is supposed to be great if out in the sun, but this product doesn't really feel like it's absorbed into my face, leaving it shiny. I don't want it dripping down into my eyes! If I happen to touch my face it leaves a slick film on the fingers, and I worry about touching anything else and leaving a smudge of the tint. The moisturizer has an unusual scent when applied, smelling like natural clay. Maybe that's the Zinc Oxide? After a while it's not quite as noticeable. I usually use a same brand moisturizer with SPF 15 and the liquid foundation also SPF 15, and they appear to be much better absorbed into my face. If this product works for others, that's good. I'm very fair, and I must say that the tint actually worked by putting a little natural color in my face. That was the only part worthwhile for me.
