Love this Product
I have bought this product several times because it offers BlueScreen technology, so I usually put it on at the office. I really like the formula because it goes on clear and does not leave a white cast, absorbs very well, and the scent is very light and refreshing. I feel it compliments my skin care routine very well. I will definitely buy again.

Water Cream Sunscreen
This product was sent to me in exchange for my honest review. I really wanted to like this product but unfortunately it has a strong sunscreen scent. It made my eyes burn. Eventually made my skin breakout.

Not sure how effective of an sunscreen this is.
I like the fact that this feels like a face moisturizer that gives you 50 SPF. I do not like applying so many products on my face so sometimes I mix this with a couple of drops of my foundation and I'm out the door. I deducted one star because I am not sure if one pump of this product is the right amount to protect my face from burning under the sun. I ran errands for a few hours the other day and the following day my blemishes are darker as if I laid out under the sun.

Must Have Sunscreen for the Summer time
I absolutely love this product. I live in a place where sunny season is definitely hot so I love a moisturizer and sun screen in one. It keeps my skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day long. The texture of the cream is so soft and light. The application pump is perfect for dosing the right amount and easy to apply. Product scent is clean and I love the flavor scent.
This has been a life saver. For someone with dry to normal skin, it hydrates my face so well and leaves a nice shine and if I decide to not wear makeup it leaves a perfect appearance. It's perfect for the winter months as well and I love the SPF 50. I highly recommend this product and will surely purchase in the future.

Must have product
I like the fact that this feels like a face moisturizer that gives you 50 SPF. It is lightweight & has bluelight protection. The texture is super lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. I was given this product to provide an honest review

Sunscreen that feels like skincare!!
Sunscreen that feels like skincare? Yes, please! The COOLA Refreshing Water Cream SPF 50 is everything I’ve been looking for in daily sun protection. It’s incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly, and actually hydrates my skin instead of leaving it greasy or sticky. The water cream texture feels cooling and refreshing, making it perfect for mornings when my skin needs a little wake-up boost.
One of my favorite things about this sunscreen is how well it layers under makeup—no pilling, no white cast, just smooth, dewy skin. It’s also reef-friendly, which is a huge bonus. If you’re someone who dreads applying sunscreen because most feel too thick or heavy, this one is a total game-changer. It gives you that fresh, hydrated glow while keeping your skin protected all day. Definitely a new staple in my routine!

Bluescreen!
I love this sunscreen as it is lightweight & has bluescreen protection. I work with double large screen computer monitors & it is so bad on my face. I believe that this product helps my dark spots for not getting darker & keeps them at bay.
