Wonderful product
It really is a pleasure to use this product, I apply with my fingers, work it in, then use a sponge to finalize. It always makes my skin look fresh and hydrated, and the formula is so fun to play with. I have never used a serum foundation yet alone a foundation with SPF, really happy to come across this product, especially knowing that spring and summer are right around the corner. 
SPF tint with caveats
I truly appreciate this product! This SPF skin tint is a great option for Warmer weather, or just days where you're casually getting ready and would like a light or natural makeup appearance. It's a very thin formula and easy to apply with the dripper built into the product. I will say, the skin match is decent and there are shades for a wide range of skin tones. However, it's to be noted that this product is high SPF so it is very important to moisturize prior to application or this will...
PERFECT FOR SUMMER
Pictures are with BACK OF IPHONE 14. (You know the camera picks up EVERYTHING) I am In LOVE** . I’ve been looking for a complexion product for the summer. I have one holy grail foundation I use year round. But I did want something for the summer that had to meet these criteria (which it does) 1) doesn’t feel heavy. It’s summer, after all. Lots of humidity and moisture where I’m at. So I don’t want to feel like there’s a thick layer of product on my skin and I’m melting. 2) lasting power....
Like the product, hate the packaging
I do like this product a lot - its great to have SPF in a lightweight tinted formula like this, for extra coverage without being heavy. The color is also a pretty good match for me. Sometimes, depending on how dry my skin is, it can get a bit cakey and flakey, but with the right foundational products underneath this works really nicely, and is a daily staple for me. However, the packaging is awful. I've had two of these with the same problem on both - the dropper part that you squeeze comes...
Packaging nightmare
I really liked this product but hardly got to use it before the bottle completely fell apart… It seems like the white plastic tip wasn’t attached well and came off the green lid… Even though I had the green cap on product literally got everywhere… I would definitely re-buy if the packaging was better but I just can’t spend $40 for a product to have such insufficient packaging… Literally got all over my suitcase and make up bag 
Everything I have been searching for
Im over 40, with dry skin and prone to breakouts. Have tried numerous products. This is the one I’ve been hoping for. Easy to blend, provides enough coverage, does not appear cakey and does not cause acne. Wearing light medium shade. Can’t wait to try more products from this line
Not clean
I went in for a clean skin tint with spf, which is what this is advertised for, i always scan things im considering on buying with the Yuka app which can help me detect non clean ingredients in products, since I had no signal inside Sephora, I bought it anyway since I thought it was clean, when I got home I scan it and noticed it had very poor review, will be returning
My Favourite Everyday Skin Tint
I am so so in love with this tint. Initially i purchased it solely for the spf 50 and i expected a slight tint. However, this has the most beautiful skin-like coverage without any heavy feeling. Makes my skin look super glowy!!
Amazing product!
If you like tinted moisturizers this is the perfect product. Coverage depends on how you apply, I tend to go for medium coverage, so it’s definitely buildable, but you can also wear it as light coverage. Finish is dewy, and it kind of dries down to a natural finish. Lasts many hours!
TERRIBLE PACKAGING
What on earth is this packaging…I haven’t even got to try the product before it broke. So ridiculous returning
Horrible packaging
The packaging is terrible, the rubber head broke and spilled all over my bag. Half of this product has been wasted on spills.
For The Dry Skin Girlies
One of the nicest skin tints as far as the consistency goes. It’s like water and absorbs into the skin but it still gives you coverage. I only took off one star because it’s a little too oily and dewy as far the finish goes, for my taste. For people with very dry skin it will be amazing as it’s really moisturizing. Because it’s so pricy, I think it should be perfect, but it’s almost perfect. But I have to dab some powder over to dry it down, since it doesn’t really set on it’s own. I would...
This skin tint is lightweight yet offers a nice medium coverage that evens out the skin beautifully without feeling heavy. It blends effortlessly and leaves the skin looking healthy with a natural, velvety finish. Perfect for everyday wear if you want something that enhances your complexion while still looking like real skin.
Naw..
Pass on this.. feels sorta grainy .. and smells wonky. Other options in the categories for me!
Sooo lightweight! Just wish there was better shade
AMAZINGGGG! The coverage is just right!! It feels so lightweight on my skin and is buildable coverage. I just wish there was better undertones and shade since this runs a bit warm on my neutral undertones.
My favorite face product it is super glowy and hydrating my skin look amazing!!!
Love it!!
I am absolutely loving the Ciele Tint & Protect Medium Coverage! It gives me the perfect amount of coverage without ever looking or feeling cakey. It smooths over my blemishes just enough while still letting my skin look like skin. The finish is beautiful — it leaves my complexion looking even, fresh, and slightly glowy without being greasy. One of my favorite parts is that it has SPF 50 built in. I love knowing I’m getting solid sun protection while also evening out my skin tone. It’s...
Winner!!!
This is probably the best skin tint on the market right now. I’m surprised people aren’t talking more about it. Phenomenal for mature skin, gives a nice glow with natural look coverage
Love it!
One of my favorite products, I’ve been using it for a couple years now. I just wish that had a bigger selection of shades. Other than that, no complaints.
Love the look and feel. Not a fan of the dropper. Prefer a pump or anything else.
Returned- not good for dry skin. Clings.
I bought this after rave YouTube reviews. It isn’t it for my skin. It clings to pores and dry skin. It’s muddy, not silky. I’ve tried drugstore tints (without SPF, maybe it’s the SPF that makes it muddy) that are much smoother.
Packaging kind of sucks but the product is so good I don’t even care that much. Good coverage, easy to blend, SPF, I literally always get compliments on my skin when I wear this
oxidized so bad after 4/5 hours. started forming patches near my chin and jaw.
Really love this! Such a great product that wears beautifully all day and feels really nice.
Obsessed
I have never written a review on a product I purchased. However this deserves the appreciation! This was recommended in store over a year or so ago and feel that it’s been my secret weapon. I am so happy to hear it’s taking off as it has such a natural look, great coverage and wears well all day. I apply a good moisturizing base prior to use and this goes on like buyer!
Not great, maybe if you’re oily
I purchased with my own money. Wanted to love, but it highlighted dry patches and didn’t blend great, also dried down weird.
Pass for dry skin
Love that it’s clean and has spf but was quite matte for my skin. I have dry skin and this foundation unfortunately dramatized my uneven texture and flaws. Also the bottle is very messy! I so
Best light buildable spf foundation
Best light foundation with spf, makes my face look like porcelain and glowy! Recommended to all my friends who now can’t live without it. Use it with e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush - best foundation brush
Must have
Saw this on tik tok and rumors are true it is amazing.
Very good product
I have sensitive, oily skin prone to acne and redness. This product did not break me out and covers the redness really well. It has a semi-matte finish. It is somewhat drying - my skin is oily so it’s ok for me but others may find it to be a darwback.
Good formula, horrible cap
Great for the skin foundation. However there is something wrong with the cap. It always gets stuck. When it's stuck I can't use the pump - it's always a messy fix. Please fix the cap!!
A Great Product for New Makeup Users
I don’t wear a whole lot of makeup mainly because I just don’t know how to, or even what to use. The first employee I asked was so sweet and directed me to this product and it’s AMAZING! It makes my skin feel great and I’m very very satisfied with this :)
Melasma and dry skin girlies
I love this product! I have it in two shades depending on time of year. It blends well with anything and also melts into the skin. Extra sunscreen is a plus. Can look “wet” but dies down or you can powder down. If you want sunscreen and makeup together, this is the product for you.
Sadly…. It broke me out! If you have reactive sensitive skin this is not for u. Beautiful finish
Great blurring and sun protection but..
Used this throughout 2025 because it was the only base that was not irritating or clogging pores, generally liked it but had to give it up. 1. the shade range is flexible but needs work, I used shades 7 and 8 depending on the season, neither were perfect mixed or separate. 2. great coverage for a tint but can get greasy if you try to build it. 3. this will transfer and stain everything, I was careful and while I spent months trying, I failed to find a powder that worked. Part of this was my...
Separates on the skin
Sadly I could not get this to work. No matter what moisturizer I prepped with it separated on my skin and creates a noticeable texture.
i have pretty dry skin (i use tretinoin + eczema) and this skin tint doesn’t cling to my dry patches which is usually the main problem i have with any face product. it has a slight dewy finish so i usually put a little powder on my tt-zone area. the longevity is not bad, it won’t last all day but it still lasts several hours. it hasn’t broken me out or caused any additional dryness which i love. i recommend this for anyone who has dry skin!
Great coverage for a skin Tint!
This skin tint gives great light to medium coverage with the benefits of an SPF 50+!! It’s light weight and blends perfectly with your fingers or a make up brush. When applied , it covered all my redness and left me with a natural finish. Ir is a little glowy but with a little setting powder it looks great nana
great product
perfect amount of coverage with a satin finish… wish it was a pump rather than a dropper
Must have
All time favorite foundation, especially now that the Laura Mercier pressed powder is gone. The fact that it’s a serum and has SPF makes it a holy grail. Highly recommend
Perfect Coverage
Literally have never gotten compliments on my skin, until I started using this. Highly recommend for an easy to use everyday base. Perfect coverage. So easy to layer. Feels so light on the skin.
Color is off
Light medium is what I normally wear in foundation and unfortunately, this color is so white on me that I can’t even wear it. I purchased it with my Sephora points so I can’t return it. Eden return it.
Meh
Wanted to love this…. But couldn’t because the glass dropper somehow broke. I found the coverage to be pretty medium and buildable- almost too full coverage for being sunscreen bc I felt like I used less than I should have
fell in love this foundation
I used this foundation for a lightweight makeup look and immediately fell in love with it!! it was a perfect shade match and I told all my girlfriends to go get their shade and try it as well. new staple foundation
yes
been looking for the right tint for months now, I'm getting older and starting to see a few fine lines here and there so I want something that's not too matte or drying. I also work long hours where I don't necessarily want a full beat. went into the store and multiple employees said this was the one. just the right amount of coverage. love the consistency.
Yes. Yes. Yes! This is every day perfection. My holy grail as someone that doesn’t wear a lot of makeup.
Exceeded my expectations!
This completely exceeded my expectations. I debated trying it for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. My Color IQ suggested the Light shade, but I chose Light-Medium and the match is spot on. It feels incredibly lightweight yet still provides great coverage. I also love that it includes SPF. It’s perfect for daytime wear — especially on weekends when you’re running errands and want to look a little more put together without committing to a full face of makeup.
I was looking online foreverrrrr watching so many skin tint reviews and after 2 months of watching videos I bought this skin tint and it is sooooo amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Very moisturizing and layers beautifully!
I LOVE this skin tint. I have dry skin and this is super hydrating. I also love the medium coverage - looks super skin like. Holy grail for me!
Love!
This is a beautiful skin tint! I feel like it gives more full coverage than a regular skin tint though. I’m 35 and am trying to wear less makeup and this gives the perfect coverage for me. It blends beautifully and wears well all day. I’m not crazy about the dripper and packaging, that’s probably the only thing I’d change about it. But other than that 10/10
yikes!
I’m sure this is lovely for some people, but for me it settled into all fine lines and highlighted texture I didn’t know existed.
Love love love!!!!
I absolutely love this product! It goes on so smooth & lasts all day long . I get so many compliments on my skin.
More shades please
Could have more shades-I’m in between 4 and 5. I kept 4 because 5 isn’t workable. I love extra spf.
New fav foundation
Not a huge fan of the packaging but tbh that’s not the biggest deal for me. The product rocks. It’s the perfect amount of coverage.
Big miss for me.
I wanted to like this but I do not. 40yr old- normal skin. It never settles into the skin and separates abnormally.
Hate the packaging but like the product
The rubber top and the dropper completely fell apart and the product leaked everywhere. This is horrible packaging (as other reviews haven’t already mentioned.)
Beautiful skin tint
This is the second time I’ve purchased this product, and I highly recommend. I’m normal/dry, and prefer a skin tint that is quick and easy to apply and provide mid to higher coverage. This tint delivers all of that plus the finish is a beautiful satin.
my favorite foundation, only thing is he careful how you prep your skin or it will pill, and the packaging is bad bc it loves to flake off and get in your makeup😍
recommend
i feels super light on skin, its durable and looks natural
50 skin tints later and I found the holy grail
I have tried countless skin tints for my dry mid 30s skin. This blows all others out of the water. SPF but doesn’t separate and settle into fine lines. Feels like but great coverage for a skin tint. Review report breaking out and acne scars (which isn’t how products work) but I would blame hormones and dirty applicators because this is so clean it gives me zero clogged pores or breakouts. Underrated and sooo amazing
Broke me out so bad. Had perfect skin before. Now many acne scars.
HG Product
This is hands down the best skin tint out there! Holy grail product status
It made me break out and I never react
I was getting big pimples on my cheeks and realized it was from this! I was so disappointed because I was liking it. My skin rarely reacts to products but once I stopped using this, I stopped breaking out.
I’m very picky about coverage for my rosacea, but this stuff works really well and also layers very well. 5 stars
It's quite literally perfect
I have tried many, many skin tints/serums with spf and this is by far, hands down my favorite. It truly makes my skin look flawless and has the perfect amount of coverage while still feeling light and super natural. My skin feels like it has nothing on it but looks amazing.
Fave base product ever
I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect base product and this has been my favorite one. Feels nice, doesn’t break my sensitive skin out, perfect coverage, beautiful finish. My only gripe is that I’m between shades so I have to mix which is messy and annoying but I’ll take it.
Obsessed!
I’ve had terrible luck finding Sun screen that agrees with my skin-that won’t break me out! This was recommended to me by an aesthetician and I’m so thankful, I can get ready and have sun protection!
Nice swap as my aging millennial skin changes
I’m 38 and my skin is beginning to change. My older BB cream would settle in the crepeyness under my eyes but this one doesn’t do that. I feel dewy and my skin looks and feels really happy.
Amazing!!!!
I’ve been trying out different skin tints with SPF lately and this is easily my favorite so far. A little goes a long way and the coverage is buildable. The shade blends nicely with my skin tone and works well with skincare applied underneath and with any product I apply on top as well. My skin looks hydrated and glowing without being too shiny. It also doesn’t oxidize or settle into fine lines or dry spots. It lasted all day and didn’t irritate my skin. Wonderful product!!!
I didn't like the consistency of the product, the applicator was hard to use and messy and the broke within the first week. I had to throw the product away.
Didn't work for me
I traveled with it (hadn't even opened it yet) and the dropper cap came loose and got all over everything in my toiletry bag- because of the spf it was like spraying oil all over my toiletries. He cap Wouldn't go back on (a common complaint I see for this product). I was able to use what was left in the bottle, which was very little. Was heavy, felt like foundation and the spf left my skin feeling gross. Wouldn't ever purchase again.
True Skin Tint with Great SPF, but Shade Range Is
I’ve repurchased this product twice. When I first tried it with a primer underneath, it didn’t work well for me—it pooled around my nose. Once I skipped the primer, that issue completely disappeared. I don’t find this drying, despite some reviews saying otherwise. I have dry skin, and it doesn’t make it better or worse. I’ve worn sunscreen my entire adult life (I’m 54 now), so I do appreciate that this includes SPF 50. My main issue is the shade range. I’m very fair (though not the...
Ending my skin tint search!
After months of searching for the perfect skin tint, I have decided to end with Ciele. I want very light coverage. I appreciate how little of this product I can use for my face. I don’t even have to use the dropper- I just use what’s on the outside of I. It’s also not cakey. SPF is a bonus for me.
Can give breakouts.
Great coverage and nice bright glow. Unfortunately my skin breaks out after using this. I still kept it for the shade. I'm guessing it's the SPF coverage chemicals that had me break out. Other than that great product.
The dropper bottle toooooo messy!
I really wanted to like this product because a skin tint with SPF would be a great way to skip a step in my skin care routine. The product itself is good. Pretty good actually but the packaging is SO incredibly messy!!!!! I have to clean up the bottle every time I use it. I can't keep it in my makeup bag because it will spill and even when I keep it upright in my makeup drawer I still can't open and use without product getting all over the bottle. I don't love it enough to deal with the...
Dry, Chalky, Heavy, Orange
I was influenced by beautytok with so many raving about this product but it’s going back to the store. Disappointed. Formula is light and liquid on the hand but wears very heavy on the face. I never understood people saying they feel claustrophobic in makeup until this product. It sets dry and patchy no matter the skin prep or pre-exfoliation. The shades give orange and chalky. The packaging is a mess. It’s emphasizes texture, fine lines and wrinkles. It broke me out AND gave my skin reacted...
Formula is great, packaging sucks
This formula is my favorite skin tint I’ve ever tried. Natural finish, doesn’t highlight any imperfections, lasts all day, and of course love that it has SPF. But this cap/dropper leaks and breaks, so you can’t travel with it, and it gets messy
Really love it
I’ve been using a pricey skin tint for several years but wanted something a little cheaper that still made my skin look great. It’s not as moisturizing, but it gives that lightly made up look I like.
Love it
My favorite foundation. I have very dry skin and it didn’t cling to any dry patches. The coverage is impressive and it hides my blemishes really well. I also love that it includes SPF.
Pass
Sheer coverage, not a medium. You might need setting powder after.
Must have!!
Love this. It looks like skin instead of looking like product on top of the skin. 10/10 will not use anything else!
Honestly dont love the formula. Could be the products I'm using underneath. Not sure id repurchase
Must have!
I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and I’m in love! The coverage is great without looking heavy. It wears all day without melting away even t zone. Will repurchase!
Easy to blend
I’ve been reaching for this for months over all my other tints and foundations, it blends easily w/ a beauty blender. I have combo skin and find I get less oily in my t zone with this somehow. I’ve recently discovered Danes tricks setting spray and wow! Perfect pair ing for me! I definitely will be repurchasing!
Pills terribly
Ay no. Forty dollars for this oh no. Dont do it. Idk what these other ladies are doing that gave this good reviews. But pills pills pills pills pills. On the corners of the nose on the chin just no. I just wanted something easy and good for my skin because I have a ten month old that just started sleeping so I’m getting back into the makeup game here. But this is not it. Back to haus labs foundation for me.
New winner
I wore this to work once and got so many compliments on this. It looks very skin like. My only con is that the cap does get stuck sometimes.
love
so good! wishing there was more product in the container.
AMAZING!!!
I am 50 and have dry skin. This foundation is amazing. Makes me look youthful and moisturized!!
Unsure
I have such mixed feelings about this. For reference, my skin leans oily, but I live in Colorado so I still battle some dryness. I was previously using the Ami Cole skin tint (RIP 😢). This goes on nicely and the shade match is surprisingly good (med tan, slightly olive). It feels sheer, but has decent coverage (though on me it’s not buildable). Pretty, but not quite as perfecting as the Ami Cole…that really made my textured skin look filtered. The weird thing is that it goes on a little...
It’s amazing. Bought bc of tik tok. It’s sooo comfortable and breathable. Also bought the primer. Does bother my eye lids a tiny bit because i have sensitive skin.
Amazing buy it
Amazing amazing amazing. Perfect coverage. Best tint on the market
Stop w the niacinamide
I’m a fan of this brand however too many products have niacinamide which a lot of us are sensitive to 😭 that being said I can’t use this. I get bumps all over my face. The blush and concealer amazing!
Must have!
I can’t believe how skin like this formula is! It has great coverage and looks like my real skin. The shade is a perfect match and I am so impressed!
The coverage is really beautiful, but unfortunately it broke me out all over my chin. I have not had a painful breakout in awhile but I had cystic breakouts and a few whiteheads. I will be returning this product.
Undertone Range
I love the SPF and it works very well! But I don’t like the shade range. The lightest shade matches my skin tone, but it’s too cool toned to wear with all my clothing and it’s just not the most flattering.
Good for mature dry skin
Really nice for dry mature skin. A little goes a long way.
LOVE/HATE
Pro - absolutely amazing foundation formula, color, spf, sensitive skin, it's my new fav. Con - Yes, the packaging is TERRIBLE. How did this get through trials?
Perfection
Perfect coverage for a daily foundation. Texture very nice, no dryness.
Perfection if you know how to prep your skin!
Looks like a filter especially once it settles into your skin, best skin tint I’ve ever used. Be careful with your skin prep because it can pill depending on your products or look a tad cakey if your skin hydrated, and as someone who’s pores get clogged with most products and is acne prone this product is truly non comedogenic properlyareproperllyhydrated
Holy grail
I absolutely love this item. It looks super natural on
Light medium was too light for my skin. I will need to exchange. Product was leaking out when I received it :(
A must have for me!
Absolutely love this product! Non-comedogenic so it does not make me break out which is rare for me. Gives great coverage for such a lightweight serum. Makes me skin look so glowy and hydrated without looking oily. Truly clove this product!
Love!
LOVE THIS - effortless blend, feels good. I have sensitive skin and this feels great/have had no issues and lasts awhile. I even work out in it and my skin still looks great!
Love it!
I’m really impressed as I didn’t expect much coverage and glow. It’s perfect for me!
100% recommend!! As someone with highly sensitive and acne prone skin, I love this skin tint. It’s so light and provides medium coverage but still looks flawless and blends in SO WELL. And I have tried plenty of products to see what makes my skin break out less and so far this has been heaven. ZERO BREAKOUTS which is very rare for my skin because every acne safe makeup product has made it breakout. Thank you TikTok.
Acne-safe formula but packaging needs improvement
I LOVE this formula. I have acne prone skin and I love that it is truly non-comedogenic and acne safe ingredients. Other brands falsely claim they are clean/acne safe but when you do the ingredients, they have pore clogging ingredients. Ciele’s formula is perfect and look flawless. SPF is a major plus. My only concern is the packaging and if not for the packaging would give it 5 stars. My dropper broke in half which is pretty dangerous to have a broken glass dropper floating around in the...
Supper lightweight! I love that it has buildable coverage and it doesn’t feel greasy overtime considering that it has SPF!
Not for me
Really wanted to love this product. Felt chalky on my skin and I have combo skin. Skin seemed oily after few hours in. Pores seemed more visible and used primer from the Sam company. Sets quickly
My New HG!
Wow! Definitely HG status. I’ve been jumping around from foundation to foundation and layering with SPF for the last few years (which can be cakey, even with the best products), but this foundation checks all the boxes. I have sensitive, oily skin which is prone to acne, and this product is slightly mattefying without being drying. No breakouts either! Gives me a glow with and without it on. My skin looks and feels healthier. 10 out of 10!!
Great… until the lid broke
I bought this product about a month ago and have been loving it and using it every day. It feels a little sticky on the face but feels worth it for the glowy look it gives my skin and the coverage. Unfortunately when I opened it this morning it seems that the bottle somehow broke itself overnight: the top of the eyedropper is stuck to the outer lid. I’ve tried everything I can to get it to come apart but I think I’m going to have to go to Sephora and ask if they’ll give me a replacement. So...
Love, love, love it!!!!
I ordered at U.S. Sephora to ship to Ukraine. It took 2 weeks almost. I thought the parcel was gonna be damaged or something. It came safe and perfect. But… most importantly, I just ordered guessing if the color would be really right bc I just saw it in reviews only. So, I applied. My skin never looked better. So hydrated, really flawless. I’m 38 yo but look like a teenager with this foundation. I just love it. Forever my fave.
My skin looks natural and flawless! It's not stayproof against all elements, but it's really beautiful and I love that it has high SPF.
My favorite skin tint on the market! It has coverage, protection, longevity, everything you need, while still looking like skin! A staple must have!!!!!
Must have
Obsessed with this foundation! 😍 The finish is that perfect “your skin but better” glow—light, breathable, and so smooth. It evens everything out without ever looking cakey or heavy. I’ve worn it for long days and it still looks fresh and radiant by the end of the night. Ciele seriously nailed it with this one—instant holy grail status! ✨
Breakouts
I wanted to love this. The finish and texture is gorgeous, however, I broke out from using it. My skin is not acne prone and I got a bunch of little whiteheads all over my cheeks. I tried it several times and each time it led to the same reaction.
Extremely Sheer
This had zero coverage when applied. I wasn’t expecting foundation-level coverage, but this product was entirely sheer.
No from me
Returned. Better skin tints on the market. Made me feel chalky and white washed.
My new HG
Bought this on a whim and ended up loving it! Feels so good on your skin, not at all like traditional makeup, but yet it has a nice light coverage. I have stopped using my former HG and replaced it with this.
Breathable and light
Very light and breathable. Does not cause breakouts and I love the spf protection as well. I would highly recommend!
Dryness, separation, flaking.
This went on nicely and blended well, and the color was a great match. Looked good for approximately 30 minutes. I looked in the mirror and realized it was drying out and flaking, becoming patchy, and separating. It looks so bad! This was despite proper skin prep and hydrated skin. Will be returning.
love this tint!
Absolutely love the product, but HATE the packaging. Packaging leaks no matter how tight you get the lid which makes it virtually impossible to travel with. If Ciele fixes the packaging it would be a solid 5 stars from me.
My new go to
I'm in my late 30s and within the last year, I've noticed my regular go-to makeup was no longer working with my changing skin. I've tried SO many different skin tints & products that continued to look cakey and didn't last long. I saw this product being recommended by an influencer on Tiktok, looked up the ingredients- it was non comedogenic (which adds an additional layer of complexity with less products to choose from) and I decided to give it a try. I am absolutely obsessed with this...
Broke me out
Even though this product is advertised as noncomedogenic it broke me out in little whiteheads! So I returned this product. I only used it two times. What a shame!
Great Sun Protection Natural finish.
The only downside is the packaging—it’s a big no for me since it takes time to use and after a while you can’t get all the product out. But aside from that, my experience was amazing: it felt good on my skin all day, it doesn’t transfer to clothes, it’s super lightweight, and you really feel protected from the sun. The coverage is also very good in my opinion.
This lasts all day, feels like nothing on my skin!
Container/lid is awful!
Nice product, the foundation looks really nice on skin and not cakey at all. My biggest complaint is the packaging is horrible!!! The dropper lid broke so it’s so hard to get product out. Such a mess!
Great one and done product
New everyday makeup favorite - takes care of SPF and foundation in one go without feeling too heavy on the face. Great for indoor days/work and layers well with SPF for sunny days/outdoor activities.
I would give this 100 stars if I could
Gosh where to start. Ciele is a life changing brand for me. I have extremely sensitive skin, acne scars / texture, & sometimes perioral dermatitis flare-ups. This skin tint is epic— it’s absolutely gorgeous on. So natural, radiant. I can't get over how genius the ingredients are. I am sooooooo done with the clean beauty trend of putting 4000 active skincare ingredients in products -- one of the reasons I love this product so much is that the ingredients are obviously so intentional. They're...
I am 43 with combo skin, fine lines, and some acne scars. I'm really happy with the amount of coverage this provides without looking heavy, a little goes a long way. I apply over vitamin c serum and SPF, then set with powder and a setting spray which keeps it looking really good for 8+ hours. I like that I'm getting some additional SPF and skincare with natural, lasting coverage. Building up doesnt work as well, so I just spot conceal as needed. Would prefer a pump dispenser
Incredibly natural, and very good coverage. Does not irritate my skin. I love it for both everyday and special events.
This works great! I LOVE the 50 spf. It doesn’t oxidize, no pilling with other products, doesn’t transfer to my phone or hands when I touch my face throughout the day (like other skin tints). Foundation like coverage but still feels light on the skin.
Excellent coverage, light, and does not clog pores
After 25 tries with a name to allow me to write a review, here I am! Amazing! I found the one! Please don’t ever change, alter or discontinue this product. It’s the BEST! For me, anyway!
No thank you
I bought this on a whim and instantly disappointed when I first tried it. I have mature dry skin and usually welcome the more moisturizing skin tints. I looked like I just ran a marathon and oily mess. I shook the bottle thoroughly lightly applied it woth the brush. I then tried one soze powder over it to try to matte it fown but then my fave was acaley mess. Worst tint I have ever tried!and only
Favorite Foundation & has SPF!
Love! Tried this after having skin cancer on my face. On my 3rd bottle and cannot imagine using anything else. It’s natural looking but also buildable coverage when you need a bit more. Very comfortable & does not bother my very sensitive skin.
Great Formula, Bad packaging
Works well on my dry skin with light coverage, but the bottle leaks. For the price, the packaging should be better
Broke out after using. I don’t get acne often, but after using I had spots and blotches everywhere. Don’t recommend.
Best of the Best
The best skin tint ever. Healthy, glowy, & beautiful. I went ahead and picked up my winter and summer shade. Truly my favorite. If I lost my makeup bag this would be my first re-purchase.
Shade range isn’t great :(
Looks super pretty and applies very easily (especially with their primer), but I wish the shade range was better. Shade 01 is too yellow, and 02 is too dark… Also maybe skip if you use chemical spf, mixing with mineral spf in this can reduce its efficacy.
I used this for two days in a row and on the third day noticed painful cystic acne. I looked up the ingredients and it contains Laureth-4 which is known to cause acne.
Love and hate
I love this product for its medium coverage and serum texture. It is quite glowy and needs to be set with powder. The bottle leaks into the top and it’s always a huge mess. Needs a pump or better closure.
Great product but now after buying it twice and losing most of the product to the bottle exploding and/or breaking both times I’m not re-purchasing. It’s a shame because the coverage and finish are lovely but it’s such a waste of money at the end of the day when you can’t make it even halfway through the bottle before it breaks. The first bottle I got broke the second day I had it, the second one lasted a few weeks and then exploded all over my car.
I’ve had this for a few months now. Every time I try to use it more of it has spilled out into my bag and into the top. I’m not sure who approved of the packaging but it’s horrible. The formula is good, but if you can find similar coverage and spf don’t get this
Obsessed 1000000/10
I’m absolutely obsessed with this serum foundation. It wears beautifully on my very dry skin. As with all foundations, I make sure to moisturize and use sunscreen before applying this foundation. If you have oily skin, you may want to use sunscreen only underneath.
Excellent product, terrible packaging
This product neutralizes red covers imperfections but looks natural and luminous. It is perfect. It is expensive enough but half the product is wasted too much comes out of the pipette and plenty is unreachable in the bottom of the glass bottle so really it’s $88bottle.
best tint for mature skin
Tried so many foundations and skin tints looking for something that would not settle in lines or get dry looking throughout the day. This one is my #1. I think a pump dispenser would be better but it's not a dealbreaker as the formula is so good. Love that it's a touch of extra spf as well. It looks just as good at the end of the day as when first applied.
perfect for oil control
This product has great coverage and fantastic durability. I made it through bouncing at a trampoline park, a day of errands and getting caught in the rain storm and at the end of the day my makeup remained intact.
I love this for daily wear. The color matches my skin tone perfectly. The finish is a little dewy, so it’s not my favorite for photos although I don’t believe you’d have any white cast with this. It’s a clean product with SPF that won’t break you out - it’s oil free. I’m obsessed.
Too matte & drying for me
I tried this over moisturizer on the top of my hand in store and thought it felt & looked like a second skin. But after cleansing, moisturizing & putting it on my face, it seemed dryer than expected. More matte. By the end of the day it was stuck in my pores & fine lines. Not good at all. Returned. end of day
Emphasizes Texture
I want to love this, but it highlights skin texture no matter what. It cakes and creases. I have never had this issue with anything else I have used. The concealer is even worse. What I do like (if I overlook the caking and texture) is that it is very light weight, the coverage is nice, and it's definitely a decent face SPF.
New Favorite Foundation EVER
I'm seriously impressed. I have dry, sensitive, and mature skin. I have hyperpigmentation and rosacea as well. I've settled to the fact that I'll never find a foundation that will help address all my issues and usually settle for products that at least address one or two well. BUT now I've found my holy grail. I cannot express in words how amazing this product is. I purchased the whole line- concelear, primer, ect. Trust when I say if you have skin even remotely like mine you need this...
Bottle design is awful
I was only using this product for a week before the top broke and I am no longer able to use it conveniently. I like the serum but the way this is packaged causes a lot of problems. I am incredibly disappointed. I am not able to bring the product with me anywhere because the top broke and I was always really careful with it. I wanted to like this product because it’s clean and it has a great spf but I could never deal with the bottle again. It has wasted so much product. And I’m incredibly...
I love this product! Like my skin but better with great wear throughout the day. I have very acne prone skin and this did not break me out. Will be repurchasing!
Will be purchasing again!
This product is so good. Beautiful on the skin and bonus has SPF. I like it better than Ilia and Hourglass.
Love!
This is the first time I ever use a serum foundation and I’m glad I picked ciele to experiment with after hearing good things about it. I have been using this serum foundation for the past 3 weeks and I am so impressed with the coverage, it’s staying power and the natural glow it gives. It hasn’t been messy at all! I have to use very minimal product to get the coverage I like! I’m glad it also provides sun protection while looking nice!
10000000/10 best foundation ever!!!! Easy to put on, spf, and looks very natural by itself. Also is surprisingly good at covering up blemishes.
My new favorite foundation!
This is officially my new favorite foundation. It's a staple in my routine. It gives my skin the most beautiful, flawless base without looking greasy, cakey, or unnatural. This gives light coverage, but it is buildable. It has a natural finish, which is perfect for me. If you want a foundation that gives you that "skin, but better" look, this is the one for you. Definitely worth the price. The bottle lasts forever as you only need to use a few drops to cover your whole face.
Holy grail!
I bought this skin tint after seeing so many reviews on YouTube. It looks absolutely beautiful on my combination skin and does not emphasize my fine lines and texture. Because this is so beautiful and has SPF, it will replace my other foundations.
Sadly this made me breakout all over my chin, I was super disappointed because it looked so beautiful on the skin. If you don’t have sensitive skin this might work for you but I am switching back to my Lancôme foundation until I can find a new skin tint
The best
My favorite skin tint/tinted sunscreen/ every day base that I have tried so far. I have dry sensitive skin that’s prone to redness and some acne, I have been trying to find a tinted sunscreen or tinted moisturizer for my daily routine. This has been great, my skin does not break out and it does not pile. It lasts longer then other products I have tried
Nice coverage, absolutely not sweat proof.
I have a little rosacea on my cheeks, so most skin tints don’t do the best job covering that up. This did a wonderful job! But dear lord, when I went for a quick walk midday with a coworker, I turned into a melting candle. I had streaks of makeup/sweat dripping down my face. My liquid mustache erased any of that nice coverage right off and I looked horrid. So needless to say THIS IS NOT SWEAT PROOF.
Pricey but Worth It
Rarely have I emptied and repurchased foundation or tint but I love this product. It wears well over my skincare and spf, blends beautifully with my contouring and blush products, and has staying power . It can look cakey IF you use too much product but is perfect if you’re looking for hydration, enhanced sun protection, and a “your skin but better” look.
Fabulous and SPF50
I was excited to see a makeup with SPF 50 so I figured I’d give it a try and I love it! The finish is better than other foundations I’ve used (even ones without SPF) and it has great staying power. I’m obsessed already. I want everyone to try it so that Sephora keeps carrying it!
Sweaty looking mess
I bought this on a recommendation from a pro MUA. I have normal skin and putting this on makes me look like I'm having perpetual hot flashes. What a mess.
Dewy light coverage + SPF
It's a very good match for my skin tone and I like the consistency and coverage. I do not like the delivery method; the dropper feels wasteful and hard to dispense. Would prefer a pump, but otherwise like the product.
best tinted spf
literally so amazing. it blends in beautifully, has the perfect glow. also has an extremely skin like finish. cant even tell it isnt your own skin. game changer in the spf community. Will buy forever. completely love it! 10/10 recommend. also I havent had an issue with the packaging like some people so I love it!
A real disappointment :/
I am not someone with sensitive skin but after a week of using this product, which I have been SO excited to try I it was exactly what I was looking for a natural glowy skin spf tint for the summer that’s not super thick, I have never broken out from a foundation/skin tint in my life. I never ever get acne on my cheeks/jaw and ive gotten a bunch of small ones and a rlly big painful one that wont go away its been days. Idk what it is about this product but im super disappointed. It looks rlly...
A must have
I have probably 40 different foundations and skin tints and after one use this has become my favorite. It makes my skin look flawless. The packaging isn’t my favorite but not a dealbreaker for me
A gorgeous, dewy foundation that is a MUST BUY
I swear by this product and recommend it to everybody I know!!!!! The most gorgeous dewy finish, amazing coverage, feels light on because it is a serum foundation, and has SPF 50! You won’t regret buying this
BUY IT!
AMAZING!!!!!!!! The best thing in the market is amazing
One of the best skin tints
Very comfortable, medium coverage, nice shade range and easy to use. It’s pricy but definitely a luxurious experience.
Great product, bad packaging, poor customer servic
I love this product, and stocked up on it during the Spring Sephora sale. I opened it 3 months later, and within a week the dropper broke. Sephora woul not offer me an exchange because it was purchased more than 3 months ago. Unfortunate since they encourage shoppers to stock up. Waste of money.
Amazing product + spf!!
I never write reviews but I get skin compliments by men and women with this product. Beautiful finish.
The Perfect Skin Tint!
This is my new go-to summer foundation. I love how great it looks and how light it is. I can go minimal or do full makeup and it still looks great. My only complaint is that it doesn’t dry as well as I wish it did. I use the Givenchy Prisme Libre in my T-zone to set it.
Would trade for much better wear
Tried this couple ways to get a feel for the all day wear because of the raves about SPF, and the shade range for lighter tones was encouraging. First try over light serum, a moisturizer, and sunscreen.Shade match instantly was great. One star for that. Match was surprising, because my skin is yellow undertone and most shades are too pink. Nice coverage with just a little bit of product, so it seems like the amount in the bottle would last. One star for that. Went on really smooth with...
The best foundation i've tried in a long time!!
I got this after seeing Abbey Yung RAVE about the product on her Youtube + TikTok pages. It is incredible!! My skin is super dry but this is such a beautiful finish and it looks incredibly natural while still evening my skin with some nice coverage. I wish they had more shade options as 03 is a bit too light for me, but 04 is a bit too dark. I also wish they had other undertones because I'm an olive undertone and this definitely pulls a bit yellow on me - but I'll do whatever I need to make...
Awesome foundation. Flawed bottle that leaks.
I love the coverage of this foundation. However the packaging is a huge problem. I got to use it a few times before the dropper part stuck to the top. When traveling in a car it leaked everywhere. I travel with foundation and this is never a problem.
Decent skin tint, but ultimately not for me
This product has a great light weight feel to it. It’s the perfect amount of natural coverage, with a perfect amount of radiant finish. My issue is that over time, it really settles into my pores, which wouldn’t be a deal breaker except that it’s not easy to get back into working order with a fixing spray and sponge. I also hate the packaging, it gets sooooo messy and leaks all the time. If those aren’t bothersome attributes to you, you’ll probably like it a lot.
Love this brand
I am fourty and my skin all of a sudden became more dry. This leaves my face feeling hydrated and glowy. It covers enough since I want more natural and if I have spots I want to cover I just put more.
Skin perfector
First time trying a serum foundation and where has this been all my life? Color and coverage were perfect. Made my skin dewy but not too oily. The only complaint is the terrible applicator that does nothing but leave a mess when using the product. Otherwise the foundation is amazing.
Great product, bad packaging
I LOVE the product, but the packaging is HORRIBLE. i have bought 5 things and only one of them didnt break. The foundation packaging is the worst bc the dropper pops through the top and theres no way to fix it. Ive had my last 2 out of 3 break on me, so i cant put it in my makeup bag or anything. The blush packaging is okay, the top coat(?) on the applicator lid flakes off leaving little clear pieces on my hands. The contour stick was broken when i bought it, it didn’t even lift up, just...
Holy Grail Status
This has become my absolute favorite complexion product. Just the right amount of coverage for me to even out the tone of my skin. I don’t even bother using a brush or a sponge, I just a dot a small amount around my face and blend it out with my fingers. Love it as another added bit of spf on top of my daily sunscreen.
Sheer coverage, very natural look, fantastic color match. It stays a little wet on the skin and has a tendency to fill in lines, so finishing by brushing out is a must.
will buy again
The good is ... I mixes well with my foundation Ive started getting so many compliments since I started in mixing into my foundation . I needed to add SPF into my routine . The Bad ... needs to improve packaging. The product by itself its not all the great first time I used without mixing into foundation (just product alone) it irritated my skin. Shade range sucks.
Not for me
Didn’t work for me. Settled into my pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. Tried two shades and neither worked for me, so no shade match for my complexion.
New holy grail
I just got this the other day and I’m obsessed. I don’t even feel like I have anything on my face when I wear it which I love. It blends in seamlessly. I received so many compliments on my makeup ever since I started to use this. I highly recommend .
Fine Line Magnifying
Honest…paid customer review. I wanted to love this…I like the idea of clean products. This does not sit well though. It gets crusty/clumpy throughout the day and accents my fine lines.
love. such a glowy finish and replaces my spf and foundation, into one product! give it a try!
Please change the packaging
I really enjoy the coverage and the spf that this provides! It layers well over my skincare. My main issue is the dropper. It is messy and can drip on clothes! A pump or a squeeze tube would be better - but really a pumping would be ideal A pump
Go-to daily base
I have dry-ish and acne prone skins wanting a sunscreen that had a slight tint to even out my face and this is PERFECT. It has held up perfectly walking around NYC for 12 hours in the heat and stays flawless. Not enough good things flawless
New Holy Grail!!
Nikki La Rose from YouTube made me want to try it! Picked one up and I’m in LOVE. It gives such a beautiful medium coverage and very oily skin friendly. It blended so easily into my skin and concealed my redness perfectly. I’m hooked!
Oily Skin Nightmare
I tried to like this product - in fact I begged to like this product. I used the entire bottle just trying to find ways to like this. As this is marketed as a serum foundation with SPF, I've tried a few things. First, I've tried using it in different ways. I've worn it as skincare and put it on before moisturizer, I've tried it as a traditional foundation and prepped my skin with primer and set it after. However, no matter what I tried I couldn't get this to sit and really sink into my skin....
Not for dryer skin
I gave this almost 2 months before I decided I do not like it. I have combo/dry skin and this does nothing but enhance and suck all the moisture out of my skin therefore emphasizing the texture on my face. I look awful when I wear this and cannot wait to wash my face every time I wear this product. wait to wa
Do you want a rash?
Be warned! Do not use if you have sensitive rosacea prone skin! Used one day and two weeks later still struggling with the rash around my mouth and cheeks.
Dropper broke
The dropper broke after a couple uses it’s horrible
Great product!
My first impression of this product was, "Wow!" It's lightweight and has SPF 50+. My favorite part is that I don't smell the SPF like I do with other products.
A new favorite
I absolutely love this! Lightweight, build able and SPF 50. What more can you ask for?
I wanted to love this product because it's medium coverage compared to merit uniform or ilia which are both sheer to light coverage. The issue is this formula makes the skin look more textured and cakey
Genuinely the worst product ever it pills so much. Don’t waste your money.
beautiful coverage
lasts long throughout the rain and shine! also perfect for a no makeup/makeup look!
Buy if you like to look greasy
I don’t understand the hype around this product. It is crazy greasy even with minimal and matte skincare underneath it. Another tinted sunscreen that disappoints. I will be returning this.
Changed the game for my skin !
I decided to write a review after using my third bottle of this product. I have very acne prone skin and break out to anything and everything, yet this product helped me achieve clear skin. I was very generous when I applied it, and it still lasted me for months. I love this brand and have many other products, but this is the one that stands out the most. This product is perfect if you want to achieve clear skin but still want to use makeup. I love this brand and will continue to use it 💕
FORMULA IS EVERYTHING!
I am extremely sensitive to products with SPF because I usually break out but was very happy with this formula! It applies so beautifully on the skin. So hydrating and feels light on the skin. HOWEVER, unfortunately the shade didn’t work out for me I got 5 medium and literally looked orange and went a shade lighter and almost looked grey. lol if you could find your shade the formula is everything!
Might be great for someone else.
Hands down would have been the best skin tint&spf I have ever used! Beautiful finish, got many compliments on my skin while wearing this but unfortunately it made me break out on my cheeks :( I got two good uses out of it before my skin decided nope.
Perfection
I LOVE this foundation. First, its a great foundation, full stop. Not to mention that its SPF 50. I HATE when my makeup makes my SPF pill and blends badly, but this blends perfectly, has a GREAT shade range. sits well on the skin. ciele is my new favorite makeup brand period. I have a lot of trouble finding the right shade of foundation, and was so happy that their shades worked so well for me. I would wear this day or night, and a little goes a long way. It is definitely more medium...
It’s not to thin not to thick covers pretty ok for a skin tint loved it at first made me break out didn’t realize till I kept using it and now I’m just using it till it’s empty or maybe throwing away, sadly a lovely Sephora employee helped me choose so sad it didn’t work out with it 😩 I have combo skin my skin is sensitive but has never felt this sensitive before to point of breaking out cause of a makeup product
Good and Bad
I want to love this product soooo bad, it has a BEAUTIFUL finish and feels so lightweight…but it breaks me out instantly the next day after wearing it. I love the coverage, the finish, and the SPF, but it’s not worth the heartache from a broken out face. Either a bad skin reaction or not truly acne-safe.
Expensive tinted sunscreen
Peels really bad, not for dry skin. Also the design is super weird, when you open it it leaks all over the bottle
Design issue bottle has leaks!!
I love this foundation gives me a dewy full coverage look and lasts all day… BUT!! The brand needs to work on there design! When taking the cap off the dropper gets stuck inside of it and no matter how hard you screw on the cap it spills everywhere!!! Design issue design issue! Fix your bottles please! It wasn’t just mine either other bottles on the floor were leaking! I love the foundation formula so much that I’m going to put it in a different bottle just to use ! But please get your...
Gross!!!! Worst product ever made my face super oily will be returning this evening
Nice product.
Beautiful product, it is so nice on the skin. I wish it stayed a little bit better. I even sprayed it with a setting spray and it still smudged off. I love the level of spf and the finish it leaves the skin.
A must have for a daily makeup routine.
This is a great serum. It sits really well when set with powder. If not it can look greasy if you have oily skin. This is great for an everyday makeup look. Great coverage, and it’s noncomedogenic which does not clog pores. Overall I’d recommend10/10
Beautiful product, my skin just didn't tolerate it
Unfortunately this product caused me to breakout and react poorly with stinging eyes after only 1 use. I did give it a second try but same thing happened. BUT it is a beautiful product. Prior to the reaction occurring it wore beautifully and coverage was medium, gives you a more natural finish. I really wanted to love it but it just didn't work for me.
This unfortunately dried down really poorly. Dry and splotchy and not hydrating enough to be a tinted moisturizer.
Almost perfect
This would have five stars if the applicator was much easier to use it really needs to pump instead of having a droplet I have tried multiple skin tent with SPF. This coverage is excellent and it does not smell like sunscreen I have had acne most of my life this product does not break me out.
Glowy Armor in a Bottle
My 24-year-old self hardly has time for a whole skincare and cosmetics regimen every morning due to balancing two jobs, but Ciele Cosmetics Tint & PROTECT SPF 50+ has made it easier and more attractive than ever. I could tell right away that this was no typical colored serum from the first shake and drop. It is ideal for hectic mornings since it is smooth, light, and disappears into my skin with only my fingertips. My favorite "your skin but way better" coverage is achieved with around 7...
Disappointed
I’m sad to say I’m really disappointed in this product. I bought into the hype and the fact that several of my favorite skincare influencers recommend it. To be marketing this product as foundation is just wrong. It has no coverage, separates, makes skin look greasy. Just no!
I love this Spf tint for my daily use! It’s clean but after trying few other products that were too sticky on my face or invisible, i feel like this is one of its best in the category of tint+ Spf! It has light- medium coverage but it’s smooth the skin tone and stay for longer when setting with the Ciele powder. Love those two together and separate but i think together they work even better and stay longer on the skin, finally enjoying an Spf tint
Perfect for daytime looking-good
Came well recommended and I love it!!!! I still use an spf underneath but this has become my go to complexion product for daytime when my NARS foundation may feel a bit heavy. I’m Latina with brown skin and I use 7 Tan.
Love! So dewy, doesn’t break me out
Wow, I love it — so dewy, velvety, easy to go sheer or full coverage, and doesn’t break out my skin (I tend to break out from every new product and especially those with SPF… but this is amazing). I have been looking for a year for a replacement to the Dior Airflash that they discontinued. I have tried EVERY foundation. This is the winner, at last. The dropper is inside the top but once I realized that, so easy. I put a few drops on the back of my hand and use my foundation brush to apply....
Awesome
Best dewy serum that can actually provide coverage of buildable and is somewhat healthy for your skin.
broke me out
looked pretty but literally broke me out soo much idk I think something about the silicones or something in here was too much like even washing it off like you really need to scrub your face a lottt
Terrible packaging
Impossible to say, as the component leaked everywhere in shipping and completely came apart. Very disappointing
Love love love it!
This stuff goes on so smooth and gives a nice coverage. Is never cakey or thick. I get so many compliments on my complexion when I wear this. I do have to set it with a loose powder. Plus the spf bonus!!
Best skin tint with sun protection
This is my new favorite skin tint! It blends out beautifully, covers well, but also doesn’t look like I’m wearing makeup. It’s so good! And I love that it has 50spf!
Is good, but the pump needs to be improve, to messy.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful foundations I’ve ever worn! It’s light weight but sets and wears beautifully throughout the day. It’s light weight and hydrating without being too sticky, slippy, or wet. Even on my combo oily acne prone skin, I find that I don’t really need to powder it too much to make it last. A foundation this beautiful and also having SPF 50, job well done Ciele👏🏼
Horrid dropper?
I love the formula, but who has the time to play around with this messy dropper???? Please change this packaging. I’m returning this until the packing is fixed.
Game Changer Foundation
This serum foundation is one of the best I have ever used! It is light enough that I don't feel I am wearing foundation, it does not break me out and the SPF50 mineral sunscreen is amazing. I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts if I use the wrong products. That said, my skin is getting drier every year and I now have to consider dry patches when I put anything on my face. This works wonders with both leaving me acne free and not making my dry patches stand out-- all the...
Love the coverage
I love the coverage but what is up with the packaging?? I didn’t even know there was a dropper because the cap won’t come off!
EXTREMELY DRYING
I wish I would have read the reviews. I have always had hydrated, glowing skin and never sensitive. This has dried out my skin so much. It’s a huge regret trying it.
only skin tint i’ll use
literally what the title says^ period!! + it has sunscreen!
STUNNING FORMULA
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t believe with this being a Serum Foundation & 50+SPF the staying power is incredible it lasts ALL DAY & doesn’t break up. Of course I set this with powder. It works beautifully with the Ciele 30+SPF Primer. I have dry/mature skin with hyperpigmentation/redness/dark spots/fine lines/large pores. This covers everything and doesn’t emphasize texture or sink into pores/fine lines. It’s a STUNNING formula & I highly recommend.
Horrible packaging it leaks everywhere. Contacted ciele customer service and they said they were sending me a replacement and never did…
Do not buy. Terrible formula.
I can’t believe that I fell for all the influencers pushing this product on TikTok. The packaging is horrible and the product cakes on my face within a very short period of time. I wish I could return this, but it’s too late. Truly a horrible formula and I can’t wait to finish it so I can move on to something better
Absolutely loved it - I have a hard time finding tints that work for my skin because everything breaks me out - I ‘ve been using this consistently for a week and so far nothing! The coverage is also light and natural which i prefer
Sadly, A Miss
Unfortunately like a few other reviewers, this REALLY emphasized my pores and caused little bumps that showed up maybe an hour after application. The texture stayed for days, and when it finally went away, I tried the tint again and the same thing happened. Combined with the super messy packaging, this makes it a no-go in my book. For context, I have oily, sensitive acne prone skin. I loved how it looked on my skin until the bumps appeared! Super bummed.
Stay away!!!
If I could give this negative stars I would. I used it one time and it gave me the worst breakout of my entire life all over my entire face and I don’t even have overly sensitive skin. Beyond disappointed. It also separates and does not hold up or layer well. 0/10.
Great formula, but oxidizes a lot
Love the formula! But the shade oxidizes a lot once it’s on. I’m a true light medium skin tone in pretty much 99% of all my foundations, and this one showed too dark. Should’ve gone with a lighter shade.
must-have for me
honestly..obsessed!! as someone who no longer has acne but has that post-acne textured skin, combination skin/oily t-zone, I love love love this product. It feels lightweight yet the coverage is amazing and billable. So good for everyday wear and I know my skin loves it bc it never breaks me out.
Love it!!
I just received this product and it is absolutely perfect. I love that it has SPF and it feels light and glowy without glitter. I will definitely be purchasing this again.
HOLYYY GRAILL
Acne prone girl here doesn’t break me out, no fragrance, super lightweight, blends smooth on the skin!! Omg I just love it!!! I went to work for 9 hours and my skin has never looked this nice!! The only con is that the dropper is a little bit messy but the tint is sooo good
Going back
Very mediocre product and has the cheapest packaging for a product that is not cheap. The dropper is terrible! No one has time to mess with the way this product comes out.
Glass skin & natural coverage
This stuff makes my skin look like glass. Great coverage and natural looking. Goes on great with my IT airbrush foundation brush. Stays all day. I’ll repurchase for sure. Holy grail!
this is a staple
I love this skin tint! This skin tint was recommended to me by a beauty advisor at my local sephora and it is amazing. The coverage is very buildable and I love the fact that it has SPF in it. I'm not a huge fan of the dropper but I still really like this product. :) If you are looking for a great skin tint with SPF in it then this is for you.
Dry patches all the way
I don't even have particularly dry skin. This products accentuates every potential dry patch and looks scaly after 1 hour. So wanted to like it since the shade was nice
So disappointed
It looked GREAT on my skin when I first applied it. However, it separates after a few hours. I had a bunch of dry patches around my nose and mouth. Mind you, I moisturize my face everyday. So disappointing.
Must have!
I love this product. This is the first serum that doesn’t leave my face oily and bonus is it’s SPF50.
Love
This gives a nice light amount coverage (covers redness well) and lasts pretty well throughout the day. It looks really natural and a little dewy. Super easy to use and can apply with fingers. I even it out and make sure everything is blended by going over with a foundation blush. Will purchased again as I have dehydrated skin and it works well for me.
LOVEEEEE perfect for no makeup makeup girlies & the coverage is actually more than you’d think
Your skin but WORSE!
I have sensitive dry skin and this looked so patchy on my skin. It didn’t break me out but it looked like it separated so bad. It’s water based and I use all water based products. Returned due to bad formula
Beautiful, but need more shaaaaades!!
I love this product. I’m in my late 40s with combo leaning dry skin, and this looks like my skin but just so much better. Not to mention the great sunscreen protection! It’s getting a 4 (not a 5) because the shade match on this one is tough. I’m a Latina with medium neutral, with a touch of cool olive , and I had to buy both Light Medium and Tan in order to mix and get a good, but not perfect, shade match. The medium and medium tan are sooo yellow gold. Please Ciele, create more neutral and...
Torn
An employee at Sephora helped me pick a shade, and it is the best match of all my tints/foundations. I can’t stand the dropper. This is one reason why I am torn. Another is that I have dry skin, and even so, the Ciele is a bit greasy, and I have to use powder to stand to wear it all day, but otherwise, I rarely powder anything other than under the eyes. It doesn’t look super greasy, but the feel of it is greasy. The grease factor is not nearly as bad as the Dermtology tinted...
Your skin but 1,000x better
This serum foundation is so beautiful on the skin and feels great. It made my skin look healthy and naturally plump without looking greasy. I was not expecting to like this so much. This will definitely be my no makeup makeup for days I want a one and done base product.
Big hype without a lot of follow through
I bought this after it was recommended by several influencers I follow (as I’m sure most of those who bought it did). I had big expectations given the rave reviews but unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I’m in my mid 40’s with normal to combo skin and lots of discoloration. This barely evened out my skin and was very very glowy. I ended up layering another foundation on top to get more coverage and used it more for the SPF. But I can get cheaper sunscreen than this and choose the level...
Really liked the texture and the concept of the product. Disappointed there is a huge jump in shade range from 9 to 10.
Gives great coverage!!
The texture is lightweight and blendable, making it easy to apply and layer under other products. My skin looks healthy, radiant, and protected – exactly what I want from a tinted moisturizer. Overall, I'm really happy with the Ciele Tint & Protect Medium Coverage in shade 7, and I would definitely recommend it to others with similar skin tones and preferences.

Must have for oily, sensitive, ance prone skin.
I am 30 years old, and struggle with acne and combo/oily skin. This is the first foundation I’ve found that does not break me out. It’s extremely light on my face and lasts all day of walking around. Spent one week in Rome and I didn’t get sunburnt and nor did I break out of constant use each day. Two weeks in Japan and same thing. If you’ve got sensitive skin like me, definitely take the chance on this. I’m glad I did.
Genie in a Glass Bottle
I absolutely love this product. The coverage is incredible, the finish is lovely. HOWEVER, like many have said, the packaging is impractical and frustrating. The bottle is glass—as is the dropper—so when I accidentally dropped the bottle on the floor, I was pleasantly surprised how sturdy the bottle is. I was not impressed, however, by the broken dropper inside the bottle—rendering a moderately-new bottle of product worthless. Please Cirle: other companies have sunscreens in pump bottles....
Wanted to love but no coverage
I wanted to love this but I’ve had plenty of skin tints that don’t promise medium coverage but covered more. This was so skin line and a beautiful finish it just didn’t have any coverage no matter how much I tried to build up on areas I needed it.
Tints and Protects
Silky smooth results. I think this product has improved the texture of my skin. It is very dewy and light-reflecting. The cons is the serum smears and is maybe too flexible. It transfers to clothing. I do not wish to be photographed while wearing this product; however, I do enjoy time outdoors in the indirect sunlight unbothered by cameras while wearing this product. I trust this product does everything positive that's said in the description section.
Beautiful but so messy!
It is so beautiful. It looks very natural and has pretty good coverage. It evens out my skin. It lasts all day. The packaging is awful. I wish it had a pump. I really hate the dropper. I have had to clean the bottle off twice because it was leaking. So much product is wasted. I do not want to reorder until this problem is resolved.
Great product, terrible packaging.
Product is amazing but the container it’s terrible! Wastes so much and spills out everywhere. My makeup bag, the counter, my hands. Please fix the bottle.
Wonderful product, stupid packaging 
This is a fabulous product-goes on perfectly, beautiful coverage, my skin looks incredible. Minus 1 star bc the packaging is stupid. The dropper is messy and wasteful. What is wrong with a pump??? Love the product, please change the packaging 
The best SPF skin tint
This product is AMAZING! My skin looks so beautiful with it on. My red spots are covered enough to where they're not as noticeable and my skin tone is more evened out. The fact that this is an spf skin tint just makes it a 10/10❤️. I love this product and will always re-buy it.
THAT GIRL
Finally splurged on this after hearing fantastic reviews and WOW is all I can say. My skin looks so flawless, glowy and healthy when wearing this. This is my new everyday product! The coverage is the perfect balance of medium, but I think you could make it more light or full depending on how much you build it up. I’ve worn it with a variety of powders and different products on top and it just looks beautiful. I have SUPER dry skin and this helps my skin look so glowy and pretty all day. I...
Highly recommend for combination skin, doesn’t dry me out on my dry patches from acne and doesn’t make me overly greasy at all. The only foundation with a great component that never gets messy! I love this product and use it on the a daily basis!
I love this product. Great coverage. I’ve been using it daily. But I’m wondering why the product comes out of the bottle like this? Every morning mOre and more just comes out even after I clean around it. So much product is being wasted t’s wasting so much :(
It’s a new staple, must have
Love love love. I had never heard of this brand, but it was suggested by the Sephora rep in store. I am in my early 40’s and sick and tired of “light coverage” foundations that settle into my wrinkles and exacerbate them. This evens out the redness on my face, even around my eyes. A light powder over it, and no obvious wrinkles!
Skip
Pros: good (light) coverage, high SPF, really pretty on initial application Cons: packaging leaks SO much (like truly it’s such a pain & impossible to travel with), INCREDIBLY drying after about 1 hour, clings to dry patches, lifts easily off skin Overall just fine & probably a skip in my book.
Not good for those with ECZEMA
It left a dry cakey texture on my skin despite doing my usual skin prep (didn’t change anything). It was drying on my skin and caused me to have an eczema flare up on my face right after using it. I had to wash it off immediately and the scent is off putting it smells too much like play dough. Typically I don’t mind scents especially like sunscreen scents but this was too much. Beware if you have eczema or super dry skin.
Great formula and thickness
I would highly recommend this product. Only negative is not huge variety in skin tone options. Heavier than Glossier or Illia skin tints, and is almost closer to a light/medium coverage foundation. Goes on great and great with sensitive skin. A heavier skin tint that is really effective.
Don't cake around and check this out!
I am 37yo and have been searching for this product forever. I have fair skin and throw "pink tones" From capillaries and acne. I am not prone to acne but usually break out if a foundation has an SPF. I am obsessed with this foundation. To apply, I put a few drops on the face and pat onto the skin with a foundation brush (adjustable one by hour glass). I love that this "blends" my skin tones together without covering my face in clown make-up. It's not cakey or thick. The wonderful associate...
Skip
As an acne prone girlie, I’ve been on the hunt for a skin tint that provides good coverage but feels lightweight. I got a sample of this at Sephora and had super high hopes for it, but was so disappointed! I was so surprised at how drying this was, and it especially clung to dry patches. After just a few hours of wear, it got super greasy on my combination skin type and was already wearing off. Not a fan!
A Beautiful Finish for a Clean Product (but…)!
Absolutely LOVE this product. It’s light, goes on smooth, evens skin tone beautifully, doesn’t look cakey at all. I love how it makes my skin look and feel. The only serious problem with this tinted serum is the applicator. The outside cap sticks to the applicator and the whole thing is a pain when time crunched. It can also get messy. I don’t understand why the company chose this design. Otherwise, I do love this product and would probably buy again….
Does it all
I have used all the foundations and as an aging 55+ I wanted coverage but radiance and sun protection. This does it all. I put dropper full on brush and pat in place then maybe a half dropper for another layer layer . It lasts and looks
My new favorite
This product is excellent! I use after Dieux moisturizer and the coverage is so perfect and matches my skin well. It stays on all day and reduces redness. Love the formulation.
Tried using multiples times w/ dif ways of applying but couldn’t make it work. Clung to dry patches I didn’t know existed.
Took a little time but I love it!
This took me a few months to figure out but now that I have I absolutely love it. Makes my skin look even & doesn’t emphasize texture too much. Bonus- it fades pretty evenly throughout the day and leaves a nice but not too intense glow. My best tips are: 1. Use it with underpainting. I find if I disturb it less, it wears better, so I do creams/liquids first THEN the skin tint 2. I put some from the dropper on the back of my hand, pick it up with a brush, and then after it’s on my face I’ll...
Saw and TikTok and immediately bought
I love this foundation. It dries down beautifully and looks like skin. The only thing I can’t stand is the actual bottle and applicator. It’s a dropper style and it makes a huge mess. It randomly comes unscrewed in my bag and leaks. Other than that it’s great
Wanted to love. Too greasy and oxidizes
The description claims this foundation has a natural finish, but I've found it looks quite greasy (and I have normal to dry skin). I live in a very hot and humid climate, so SPF-infused makeup has become a must, but this feels like it just melts off my face. I wanted something I could throw on and run out the door with (like a skin tint or BB cream), but this needs to be set well and paired with a brightening concealer to balance out the (eventual) oxidation.
Did not work out for me
While I was really impressed with the color of the product (i’m very fair with yellow undertones), the formula unfortunately didn’t work well for my skin and I had to return it. it clung to any slightly dry area even with moisturizer on so if you have anything less than completely perfect skin with 0 pimples it may highlight these trouble spots rather than helping conceal them.
Love it!
I wanted a tinted sunscreen that would easily glide onto my skin. Some tinted moisturizers I find when you work into the skin you’re almost tugging at the skin to work it in. So I’m so glad this is nothing like that. It blends easily and beautifully onto my skin. It provides nice coverage and a soft matte finish. This is something I will definitely repurchase. I’m glad I didn’t let the mixed reviews stop me from trying this because I love it.
Bought on my own. Similar to the Ilia tint, this serum tint blends in easily at first application. However, I find that if my skin is especially dehydrated (combo/oily), the tint accentuates my dry patches and my face’s natural oils causes it to separate. So if you’re in a dry or office environment all day, you may want to make sure to prep your skin well and hydrate with a face mist from time to time. The SPF is a plus here, but definitely have a base SPF on as well as you shouldn’t rely on...
My new everyday product
I love this product. It’s perfect for people who don’t like to feel like they’re wearing anything on their face. I like that I can’t just run it in with my hands too. The bottle feels really nice too, I like the glass bottle it feels expensive. Stays on all day too!
This is so good. It evens out my complexion and acne scaring a little while still looking natural. It doesn’t feel sticky or too drying.
Great!
A friend recommended this product and said it was better than the ilia tinted serum that she and I were both using. Although the color match tool online was way off once I got the correct color I do agree with my friend. The coverage is better, it goes on cleaner, and it lasts longer.
Great Features!
I have been using this product for a week and I loved its light to medium coverage. It is not greasy, nor heavy, it is light and soft.
Glad the expiration date on this isn't short because a little goes a very long way for me. The spf is more of a bonus with how little I'd use, but as a very fair ginger it's a welcome one. It's an everyday product for me. Price is good for amount of product. At first I feel like I'd have some pilling issues, but after adjusting my skincare routine I no longer have this problem. I plan to repurchase once I get a little closer to that expo date. I was not paid or gifted any product for this review.
Feels so natural!
I've been using the Ciele Skin Tint & Protect SPF 50, and it's quickly become a staple in my routine. The tinted serum gives a natural, radiant finish without feeling heavy or greasy. It blends seamlessly into my skin, evening out my complexion while still looking like skin — not makeup. The SPF 50 provides great sun protection without any white cast, which is a huge plus. I love that it’s lightweight, hydrating, and perfect for everyday wear. It gives that effortless, fresh glow with just...
Lightweight
I’m a foundation connoisseur and always love testing out the latest foundations! The Ciele Cosmetics Tint & PROTECT SPF 50+ definitely exceeds my expectations! I love how lightweight this product felt on my face! Lately I’ve been more into lightweight/medium coverage instead of the full coverage look. I would say that this product is definitely medium to buildable coverage. The finish is definitely natural and blended into my skin seamlessly! Another thing I love about this product was that...
A STAPLEEEEEE
After about two weeks of using this product I have to say I am obsessed! Where has this been my whole life ?!? I am a skincare fanatic and have an entire collection of sunscreens and skin tints. But this is my first time hearing about Ciele ! I received this product free in exchange for my honest review . I love the applicator ! It is a dropper making it easy to apply the exact amount you need. Not too much, not too little. Which is good because a little goes a long way. Anything more than...
I am a 22 year old beauty enthusiast who loves to try new makeup products. Ciele is not a brand I have experimented with before so I have excited to try out this product. This product is a tinted serum that is lightweight and contains SPF 50+. This serum had medium coverage and is buildable with a natural finish. This product is great for the summer time since it is lightweight and has sunscreen built into the product which I love because that means you won't have to apply normal sunscreen...
Impressive Glow & Coverage with SPF
I received the Ciele Tint & Protect SPF 50+ as part of a promotion in exchange for a review, and I’m really impressed with it! This is the first medium coverage tint I’ve used, and it exceeded my expectations. I paired it with the Ciele Prime & Protect SPF 30+, and the glow it gives is absolutely beautiful compared to other products. Even though it’s medium coverage, it does a great job of covering my dark spots and evening out my skin tone, especially when blended properly with a concealer....
One of my favorite skin tints!
A versatile product that offers both sun protection and a natural tint. The SPF 50+ coverage is a big plus, providing strong protection without feeling too heavy on the skin.At first, I thought the applicator was a bit weird, but I actually ended up liking it. It takes a little getting used to, but once I figured it out, it made application easy. I also appreciate how sturdy the packaging is—it feels durable and well-made, which is always a bonus. Overall, it’s a solid product with great...
New fav
This is just perfect for no makeup makeup look. I absolutely love the finish it gives and makes you look super put together without heavy makeup up.
Amazing tinted serum
I love how this Ciele Tint & Protect is also a serum and has SPF 50+. It literally has everything you need for beautiful and seamless makeup application. It gives me a natural finish look and does feel like second skin. I use it after applying the Prime & Protect SPF 30+. I honestly don’t need anything else. The coverage that the Tint provides is perfect for what I need. This tinted serum has been my go-to makeup application before going to work, especially when I’m rushing. Such an easy...
Lightweigt Protectin with a Glow!
I am a big fan of tints and have used many of the most popular tints on the market. I was so excited to receive the CIELE tint and PROTECT in exchange for my honest review. First, the packaging is gorgeous; the bottle looks and feels luxe and seems to be primarily glass. They provide recycling instructions on their website. I applied it with a brush and was able to build up to a Light/Medium coverage. (Less than the medium claimed) I am very pleased with this product so far. It felt like...
The Perfect Tint
I am in my 30s and always searching for complexion products that are easy for everyday but still look great. Ciele Cosmeticstint & PROTECT SPF 50+ has been that girl. I have been using shade 04 light - medium. The shades range is nice and honestly very forgiving, I probably could go up or down a shade. The application is seamless, blends like butter. It provides a great medium coverage and feels so light on the skin. I love how it gives a satin-like finish, which I feel is skin-like. This...
It’s ok
This product is really dry on the skin. Personally didn’t think it wears long term well. I have very dry/acne prone skin, so love the ingredients… but there are better skin tints out there.
Best tinted serum
I've been using this since I received it and i literally don't even use my regular makeup anymore cause this is absolutely amazing not only it blends perfectly with my skin it lasts super long and I just love that natural finish always my favorite look I definitely recommend This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review
