the only sunscreen that does not dry out my skin, cause irritation, itch or burn my eyes - I am on my 2nd tube for this summer. The other sunblocks (non chemical) really dry out and irritate my skin. I first use a moisturizer if my skin is dry (I love the White Tea Skin Guardian by Origins), then I use this, then primer and make up. In summer months, I may just mix a bit of primer with a tad of my foundation and use over my skin. My skin looks radiant and I have not had even one break out since I started using this product.

I am happy with the moisture level of this product. I have dry skin and usually wear a moisturizer and my SPF on top. This does both.

I have dry skin. I felt it kept my skin moist, but I was also in a moist environment ( something my skin is not used to living in AZ). I have hyperpigment on my face and it protected me wonderfully.

On days when I know I will be outside a lot I have been using this in place of my usual morning moisturizer with great success. As the summer sun gets stronger I plan to use it every day as my moisturizer.

This product has a moisturizing affect.

It comes out white like lotion, but sinks in like a gel without any residue.

This is white like a lotion. Not sure why it's called a serum. It is, however, light and blends to invisible on your skin.

This product is dispensed as white but blends immediately with my facial skin. It does not leave a white residue like zinc oxide. After I have applied the sunscreen, I can't even tell that I have it on.

White like a sunblock, but thin and absorbs easily. More like a moisturizeer

This sunscreen is white but doesn't leave a white residue when applied. It soaks right in.

Not sure if my answer will help you out. Time and again, I use a facial cleanser and moisturizer appropriate for rosacea and I use this over that and then apply make-up. I do fine with this regimen.

This product definitely plays well with other products. While I haven't tried the REN products you mentioned, I always layer my face creams/gels, and use this sunscreen last over everything else (unless I am using primer, which I normally don't unless I am having a very bad skin day.)
For example:
I have weird sensitive skin: acne AND dryness on my chin, flakiness on my cheeks, and oily forehead. Because of this, I use different products on different parts of my face: acne medicine, heavy duty moisturizer on my cheeks in the winter, and retinol cream on my forehead. Sometimes I throw in a vitamin c serum as well.
This Sunscreen hasn't interacted with any other product to cause irritation or burning. It also looks great with both BareMinerals and liquid foundation.

I prefer to use this under moisturizer. If you are using another serum, i would use it after that and before moisturizer. This is extremely lightweight and has never caused me any breakouts- nor have i ever gotten burned.

I mix this serum with my usual brightening serum, and it works great. In my experience, this can be added to your regimen - it needn't replace another product.

You can't feel it at all. It's very light. Just give it a few minutes for your skin to absorb it and your makeup won't be greasy. I always give my skin a couple of minutes between layers of serum, moisturizer, makeup etc.

No you can't feel this product at all....I put in on after my moisturizer and it soaks right in.

I know your feeling, and that is the reason I don't like sunblock either. This product is like a lotion. It is light, and not like other product. Worthy to try!

If you go into a Sephora store you can always ask for a sample. I felt it was too heavy and did made my make up slide off. I would say that in answering your message this is not the one for you. I ending up returning it.

Yes it is. That is where I purchased it.

yes this is available at Sephora stores and also on the kate Sommerville website

you will have to call your local sephora store. there are over 250 stores in the usa and each store is a different size. and with the massive number of brands sephora carries, if each store carried every brand the stores would be as big as your local mall and probably go out of business with not enough people to shop all the stuff. each store is different within what brands they carry and brands change every year due to new brands and demands of brands coming/going. all brands, however, are always, always available at sephora.com

I have dry skin. I can say it did not leave a funkly film feeling on my face. I hate using regular sunscreen on my face because of that film. This went on just like a moisturizer and blended in just like one. I love it!

I have been using this as my moisturizer in the mornings, then a few minutes later applying primer, then mineral powder make-up. It soaks right in and does not leave a residue on my skin.

This definitely soaked right into my skin with no dewyness! It actually felt dry after applying and made my fingers feel a little "chalky", so I'd say it soaks right in and does not leave any greasy feeling at all. I have used this alone on my oily/combo skin and I felt a little greasy during the day. I find this works best OVER my Boscia Hydrator and I do not get the greasies at all! I am also prone to acne and this does not break me out at all. I suggest using it over your moisturizer, however try it out and see how your skin does with it alone.

I used it alone and over my moisturizer. It is a serum, so I was told by a store rep that it can be used over or under my daily moisturizer. Makeup I don't know because I don't wear any

put on over moisturizer always. take care of the skin first. then spf. wait 20-30 secs between each layer. ask yourself, why would you put a liquid sunscreen over your makeup? answer your own question. the outcome wouldn't be nice. always skincare first. then makeup.

yes

About 60 - 90 days (max) when used daily in the right amount for face, ears, neck and chest. I use the lower cost sunscreen the rest of my body, and this (very expensive) sunscreen on my face, ears, neck, chest. I do not re apply during the day unless I go into the water or really sweat alot. Bought in late June, my tube will late through mid August at best. I do not skimp when I use sunscreen but also do not gob it on.

I use mine everyday and it lasts me about 4 months.

I bought this is August, and use 1 1/2 pumps daily. I haven't run out yet, probably have 1/3 tube left. It lasts a looooooonnngggg time. Longer than my "value" sunscreens I blew through this summer.

I myself haven't tried to do that. I usually reapply sunscreen in powder form when I have to do it over make up.

Since this is more like a lotion than a serum, I would think that reapplying over makeup would definitely smudge anything you have on.

Responding for both me and my husband, this product is non-greasy, non-sticky and absorbent ( blends well). I wear it every morning under my make up, primer and all and it doesn't clog up my skin at all.

I have oily/acne prone skin and have not found that this product makes my face any shinier.
