Finally, a daily SPF that doesn't feel like glue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how the squalane makes my skin feel plump without getting greasy. The texture is whipped and light, and it has no weird sunscreen smell. Keeps me hydrated all day.

Shrunk much smaller, still claims 4.2 fl oz
Been buying this product for years. The new jar is MUCH smaller than the old one, yet they both say 4.2 fl oz. The new jar literally fits inside the old jar. What is going on here?

Hi there! Thank you for being a loyal user of our Ultra Facial Cream for years. We completely understand how a smaller jar can cause concern! We have refreshed our packaging to be more sustainable by significantly reducing the overall amount of plastic used in our jars. While the new design appears smaller on the outside, please be assured that it still holds the exact same 4.2 fl oz of your favorite cream inside. We are committed to delivering the exact same formula you love with a much smaller environmental footprint! If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-543-4572.

Meh
I like that the moisturizer is combined with sunscreen, one product instead of two, but it is not as moisturizing and I use twice as much with each application. Not sure I would buy again.

Hi Facial Cream w SPF! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We are glad you appreciate the convenience of a 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen, but we are sorry to hear that the hydration level fell short of your expectations.
Because sunscreen active ingredients can sometimes alter the texture of a formula, SPF-moisturizers can occasionally feel different from a traditional, rich cream. If you are having to use twice as much to feel hydrated, we highly recommend layering a lightweight hydrating serum underneath. This allows you to get the deep moisture you need without having to over-apply your daily SPF.
We want you to love your skincare routine! If you would like help finding a more hydrating alternative or a daily routine that works better for your skin, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team at 1-800-543-4572 Mon - Fri 10am-7pm EST.

The only daily SPF that doesn't feel greasy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how the squalane sinks in instantly without leaving a white cast. It has zero scent and keeps my flaky skin hydrated under makeup all day.

Love this product
I’ve tried many SPF moisturizers and this has been by far the best. All the others stung my face but this one has been great. No greasiness, blends in smoothly. Barely know I have anything on my face.

Ultra Facial Cream SPF 30
This is the only SPF 30 facial cream that I have tried (& I have tried many) that does not pill or make me look "ghostly".
