I don’t need to explain to you the importance of SPF, but can we all agree that some tinted sunscreens just aren’t…it. As someone with combination skin, many products feel heavy, irritating and greasy by the end of the day. It doesn’t give ~glow~, but more “I took the subway car with no AC in the middle of summer”. So when I heard PureWow favorite Merit was releasing their first-ever sunscreen, specifically a tinted one, I was willing to give it a shot.
See, if they can change my mind about balmy makeup (see my review of their Flushed Blushes), surely they can change my stance around tinted sunscreens. I put their latest product to the test. Here’s my honest review of the Merit The Uniform Tinted Sunscreen, with original photos included.
