This is really a do-it-all winner that any skin type will get along with. It feels like a rich, nourishing cream, and sinks into skin seamlessly to leave no white cast or chalky residue.

This is a silky smooth day cream that's anything but chalky, and includes both broad-spectrum SPF50 and blue light protection.
