Price and verdict
Ok so I obviously knew this SPF was mattifying before I purchased it but I didn’t know how thick it would actually be. For me personally, it felt too thick and I’m not a huge fan of that. However, it does absorb well, has excellent sun protection with amazing ingredients and isn’t drying on my skin.
If you have oily skin then this would work wonders at mattifying your skin! It’s meant to be great for sensitive skin, so maybe worth a try if you have this skin type. It does have a tint to it but upon application this doesn’t set on your skin and no white cast was left on my skin either.
It is expensive for 50ml but if you use this SPF and love it, then isn’t your skin worth investing in? Especially with the excellent protection and ingredients it offers.
Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF 50+ Mattifying Zinc Skinscreen Conclusion
I’m glad I tried this SPF as I just wanted to see the difference between this one and their Supreme Screen. Now that I have, I know why Supreme Screen is their best seller and my favorite.
Would I repurchase Lean screen? Probably not but that’s just my personal preference because I absolutely adore Supreme Screen…thanks Vi!
