Found the best!
This review is not incentivized and I bought the product myself. This is the best sunscreen primer for me, and I highly recommend. I searched for a fragrance-free, high SPF, no white cast, skin building formula and tried several brands. This met all criteria. My previous choice (of many years) pumped up the fragrance and it burned my eyes. I found that CT’s is perfect and preps my skin beautifully to wear with or without makeup. It’s costly, yes. It doesn’t pill on me. I exfoliate regularly...

False Advertising!
Chemical sunscreen ingredients are not listed in the ingredients online, but are clearly listed on the back of the box when I received the product. Shame on you Sephora and Charlotte Tilbury.

Unpopular opinion here. I thought this product was meh. Absolutely nothing special about it. Does it feel nice on the skin? Absolutely. But as a primer it isn’t that great. You’re paying for the name. Also, 1 oz for $55 is ridiculous.

Expiration date 1 month away
I like this product, but I ordered a replacement which got to my place on February 1st and the expiration date is 03/2024. This is an expensive product, how is that acceptable to ship a product with a 1-month shelf life?

Contains Avobenzone
Sadly, I never got a chance to try this product because they do not disclose here that it contains avobenzone. There are other good primers with SPF that don’t expose you to hormone disruptors.

TRUMPS ALL OTHERS!
I wish I could give this review more than a five star. I don't write reviews often and I've not been a person to wear SPF in the past because I couldn't find a good one. I've tried several and disliked all except one and it was just o-k. I bought this CT primer and it's absolutely amazing with or without make up! I have one request CT, please don't ever ever ever reformulate this product nor discontinue it. Thanks in advance! Extremely satisfied customer. IG: Keeshc

THE Sunscreen for Sunscreen-Haters
I am actually obsessed; this sunscreen makes me EXCITED to put on sunscreen. It hasn't been part of my morning skincare routine in the past, but I'm literally adding it BECAUSE of this sunscreen. It has a normal light sunscreen smell. You can't smell it on your skin, so it's not an issue, it's also very a light smell as well. It has a pale, tan-pink-ish color to prevent a white cast. The tint doesn't have the effect of a sheer foundation though (as it's not supposed to)

Must have for me
I wish this wasn't so expensive, but it is really good. It works as a great primer so think of it that way. Sunscreen + primer would cost more money. I have to use a high SPF every day-- I live in Central Florida, I have a family history of skin cancer, and I have fair skin. This has a slightly peachy color but it doesn't really tint the skin. Just seems to prevent white cast. It is very dewy but if you don't like that, foundation and powder will take care of that easily enough.

Expired product...
Ladies, check your items...I purchased this in June and happened to look at my product tonight as I was unpacking from a trip and noticed that it says it expired in March of this year....3 months before I bought it.

EXP 06/24????
I can't believe that Charlotte Tilbury sells products almost expired! I am so disappointed! Furthermore, the Sephora manager in Naperville, IL said that it would be OK if you use it everyday from now. It doesn't make sense at all.
