I really wanted to like this
3I have been dying to get my hands on this after hearing GR was finally dropping an SPF, it features some of my favourite ingredients like Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate, it's broad spectrum factor 50, and also just look at this packaging! Tried a little bit on my hand, and found it lightweight and non-tacky, but the problems started when I applied it to my face. I love to layer so I will always use an essence/toner, followed by a couple of serums and a moisturiser before I even get to sunscreen, and then goes primer and makeup so everything needs to sit really well together to handle the layering without pilling. Even with waiting an appropriate amount of time to allow my products to absorb, this has pilled every single time I tried it no matter what my combination of products was underneath or my application technique which really made me really sad. I'm not willing to let go of my beloved regime to use this, as pretty and pink as it is, but this could work for someone who doesn't use as many products in their routine!

Beautiful feel but it pills so badly
3The actual feel and scent of the sunscreen is great. It’s hydrating, gives you a lovely glow, and it isn’t greasy at all. But it just pills soooo badly. I tend to use the dew drops serum, then the pink juice moisturiser in the morning. But even after trying different products underneath and just waiting over 30 minutes, it just pills and pills. Â

The worst pilling ever
1I have never experienced as much pilling as this with the many spfs I tried ever! Even after waiting for over 30 min, applying it in sections or applying less - it always pills and is horrible under makeup. Don’t let Tiktok lead you into thinking this is a good product.Â

New fave SPF!
5I bought this with high expectations having previously enjoyed other products from Glow Recipe and I wasn’t disappointed! I find this sunscreen to be hydrating enough to skip moisturiser underneath and so haven’t experienced any piling and don’t have any issues with applying make up on top of this. My skin looks great after use, no breakouts or greasiness. I was expecting however the classic watermelon scent of the pink juice. There was a slight hint of a scent but this quickly fades to a typical sunscreen smell!Â

Could have been better
3I’m kind of dissapointed about this one. I was so exited to try it out, but I could feel it on my skin the whole day. It’s not light-weight enough. Too much sticky. Would rather recommend La Roche-Posay’s light-weight if you want to use make-up over.

Best sunscreen ever used!
5I've tried so many sunscreens before and all have pilled, left a white cast, clogged my pores and broken me out etc. This is the first spf I've ever found that does none of these things, leaves my skin soft and glowy and works well under makeup. I have acne-prone skin, and this has not broken me out once - so happy! I use it over my glow recipe watermelon toner, and my glow recipe plum moisturiser - this combo works like a dream. So worth the money!Â

Better more affordable ones about
2I accidentally bought this instead of the mist (silly me) it smells really good and the packaging is nice. Is a lightweight sunscreen which I enjoy but it pills so bad! I tried this under makeup, without makeup, with and without other skincare products and nothing worked! I just had white clumps on my face! Wouldn't buy again, not worth the money

Has Potential
1I’ve tried so many sunscreens, some work really well others don’t, I do think this one has a lot of potential but right now it’s not quite there. I love the light texture, the scent and the packaging is Shelfie worthy! My biggest issue is that it bills so badly. I put this on my skin and gently rubbed and patted it in but it just gathered in clumps all over my skin. I think Glow Recipe should go back to the drawing board and look at reformulating this, if they do I would be happy to try it again but right now I feel like my money has been wasted on a product that isn’t quite there.Â

Formulation pretty poor
2I’m obsessed with all glow recipe products however, this time I was so disappointed. Like everyone’s comments, this sunscreen causes excessive pilling when applied. I’ve even let the rest of my skincare settle before applying and it’s so bad especially under makeup :( sad to write this review because they’ve nailed every product otherwise. Just needs the formulation improving however It is still lightweight and not greasy which lead me to wonder as to why the product pills so much.Â

Ideal Sunscreen
5I genuinely love this sunscreen. It leaves my face feeling soft, protected and glowing. By patting it on top as my last step in my skincare routine, I've not experienced any pilling. I don't wear make-up however, so cannot comment on how it layers. I have sensitive skin and this does not cause any issues. This is the first Glow Recipe product I've tried, I can't wait to try more!
