Sea Clearly Hydrating Facial SPF 35 + Anti-aging Growth Factor Clear Sunscreen Gel & Primer | Broad Spectrum UV Protection | Water Resistant | Non-greasy - 1.7 Fl oz. (2-Pack)

Best face moisturizer but the bottle does not come with as much as i wish it did

I unfortunately am just getting into using spf on my face in my mid-30’s. So 30+ years worth of sun damage to my face is showing. I now use spf on my face every day and am always looking for new brands to try out, so was excited to try out this Sonrei Sea Clearly Hydrating Facial SPF 35! First and foremost, TURN THE BOTTLE UPSIDE DOWN!!! It’s pretty hard to pump out but if you turn the bottle upside down right away, you won’t have an issue at all! I keep it stored upside down as well! So what really got my attention on this is that it says it’s an spf, a primer AND helps reduce signs of anti-aging. The spf part of it does work really well. It’s a clear type gel, no white cast at all. My skin definitely stays protected while wearing this and I have not experienced any sunburn while wearing this spf. As for the primer - when I see the word “primer”, I think of a face primer like one that helps reduce the look of pores and fine lines. I do not notice any change in my pores or fine lines when applying this. It doesn’t sink in to my pores and fine lines like some spf’s tend to do, BUT it doesn’t help the appearance of them at all either. I still need to apply my normal primer - so that’s a bit of a bummer! I was hoping this would replace me having to apply a primer as well. I’m really unsure what the word “primer” means in this listing…. Then the anti-aging part of this - I personally have not seen any difference/changes to my skin at all. I have only been using for a few weeks though, so I’m not deducting a star for that part. I know skincare products take time to show the full effects. If I continue use and see any changes, I will absolutely come back and update my review. At the end of the day, I would not order again. It is pretty thick. I have sensitive skin and am prone to breakouts and did have a few breakouts when I started using this. Also, I have a ton of other spf brands that I prefer over this one (I personally prefer a tinted spf but you can always add foundation to those that aren’t tinted), for a LOT less (this one was 80 at time of review). It’s pretty expensive for a basic spf for your face in my opinion. So although it’s not a bad facial spf at all - I just prefer other more inexpensive ones over this one, also I do wish this was a primer as well, as it states to be.

Absolutely loved this! Cleared up my skin and is a primer that won’t clog your pores but also has spf. A little pricey but worth it!

This is the nesting doll of sunscreens. After multiple videos and rereading instruction, I finally found the small hole by accident. It comes in a paper package, to protect the glass package, and if you unscrew the glass you will find the actual container; a small plastic tube with the magic hole in the bottom. This "push pop" level pump technology is annoying, and I don't really care for the petroleum jelly feel it leaves on my face all day, but it is a sunscreen I guess.

Product comes in a large container but half of that is the pump mechanism. And that didn't work. The product is thick and not light. Don't waste your money

Works great. Worth the expense

I've always worn sunscreen, but since developing melasma I've been even more dedicated to protecting my skin from uv rays. I generally prefer mineral sunscreens, but they can be difficult to reapply over the course of a day. I live in a very sunny state where it's very difficult to avoid the sun's rays even inside the house and I like that this product is very easy to use and reapply. The chemical sunscreens in this product include avobenzone which protect against UV-A rays, and octocrylene and octisalate which block UV-B. This product also has the added benefit of kinetin which is a plant growth hormone factor with anti-aging benefits. The product is a clear gel with a vaseline-type consistency, but it is non-greasy, applies easily with an almost powdery-like finish and does not leave any film. As such it is very easy to reapply without leaving any residue. It does leave my skin feeling moisturized even though it's not labeled as a moisturizer. Makeup layers over it very well. The only drawback is that occasionally the pump does not always work, but if I place the container upside down for a bit the pump will again dispense correctly. This has not been a problem so far. The container is quite large and would not be one to bring on a trip though. It is also a bit pricey, but it comes with an additional refill and it should last quite a while (the expiration date is 8/2026).
