Specially formulated for normal to dry skin, this product is a gentle mineral sunscreen that is touted to be excellent for sensitive or rosacea-affected skin.
On the sachet itself, the description described it to be a sunscreen which is misleading because this product is actually a moisturiser with SPF protection.

White in colour, creamy in texture with tiny beads in it, it has a light sunscreen scent and the consistency is not exactly hydrating on my skin. It is thick and requires some time for it to get absorbed into the skin.
Pairing it with RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum proved to be too much for the skin to take it and my skin broke out on the first day of usage.

On optimal skin days, it provides a light smooth feel on the skin, immediately after application. However on bad skin days, this moisturiser fails to hydrate my skin sufficiently and is drying to a certain extent.
Despite being touted as a product meant for normal to dry skin, I usually found Paula's products to be less hydrating than what the claims do.

Whats great about the product is the antioxidants in it, helping the skin to combat against free radicals. But despite the SPF25 and 8% titanium dioxide as sunscreen protection, I still layer an additional sunscreen on top, because the amount used on the face is just too little to be considered as sufficient sunscreen protection.

It scored 3.0 from 27 users on Makeupalley.
