When Sunday Riley launches something, we lunge for it, and the brand’s first rollout of the year does not disappoint.
Meet the Light Hearted Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Daily Face Sunscreen ($35), a ‘hybrid’ SPF—yes, this one combines both chemical and physical sunscreens like zinc oxide, Octisalate, and Octocrylene, and the brand isn’t shying away from it—that hits SundayRiley.com exclusively today, with availability at Sephora and Sephora.com coming next week.
The pink-tinted lotion lives up to its “lightweight, hydrating and transparent” promises via a velvety formula that also incorporates plant-based xanthophyll, which protects against that sneaky culprit of blue light, and the powerful antioxidant and free radical–fighter of turmeric extract, which the brand claims can help alleviate redness.
While it’s not intended to be used as a primer necessarily, the product does go on nicely under makeup and works alone as that last, always crucial, skin-care, sun-shielding step. Plus, it delivers that sometimes-hard-to-achieve-with-a-sunscreen perfect level of hydration (the one that’s more of that “radiant glow” and less of that “oily, shiny” look) that is always in season.
