Reviews

Unexpected Surprise

"I was unexpectedly surprised with how well the SPF Primer blends into my skin with no cast. As a black woman, when brands claim that their SPF blends effortlessly, I always pause. Primarily, because it’s usually a false claim. So, I expected to have to trash another SPF product. However, this one actually holds true. Kudos to Indie Lee for getting this one right for the brown skin girlies."

Ami D. (5/5)

I wanted to love this until it stained my clothes

"I genuinely love the concept and quality of this sunscreen. However, the tint has been a major issue. It has stained several of my white shirts with a noticeable yellow discoloration. The staining is less visible on darker fabrics, but it is absolutely obvious on white and difficult to remove. This alone has made me hesitant to continue using it daily. I haven’t been able to apply it properly on my neck which is a critical area for sun protection simply because I’m afraid of transferring residue onto my clothes. I don’t understand why this formula needs tint. A non tinted version would solve this issue entirely. Until then, unfortunately, I can’t repurchase despite how much I like the texture and overall feel."

Maria J. (2/5)

I have extremely sensitive skin

"I have extremely sensitive skin and I’ve had zero reaction to this. On my face, the tackiness absorbs pretty quickly. I haven’t worn any foundation or concealer over it, but I feel like my eyeshadow and blush have lasted longer and applied smoother since using this."

Tessa M. (5/5)

An excellent primer, with some

"An excellent primer, with some sheen. Great SPF too!!"

Jill P. (5/5)

Too runny, too shiny

"I am actually using another brand primer with sunscreen all year round and no problem with it. Since i put trust in Indee that she would use clean Ingredients, I thought I’d try this. I find this product too runny and too shiny on my face without using any additional foundation? I am trying to get away with just using primer. This product is probably good in the winter time and not summer?"

Gloria K. (3/5)

Excellent

"Tried several SPF/but not “sunscreen” products on the market. This product is excellent! Dewy, lightweight finish. I’m fair skinned and the finish doesn’t leave much “tint” behind. Is great under makeup:) and I love that it has a high SPF. It makes sense that it is labeled as a primer and now a tint or sunscreen per se."

Jessie B. (5/5)

Beautiful product, packaging needs to be revamped

"Absolutely adore this product and formula. It is so soft on my hyper - sensitive skin and has even improved its appearance over 4 months of use! My dark spots seem less intense. However, I wish the packaging was different. I would love for this to come in a pump bottle instead of the dropper, as the dropper is leaky, and causes you to lose product. Hopefully they can update packaging."

Sunscreen replacer

"Gives me peace of mind knowing the ingredients are safe."

Tiffany J. (5/5)

Love it

"I had some brown spots removed on my face. I have used this product since it came out. Spots have not returned. It’s awesome 🤩"

Lynn B. (5/5)

"Great sun protection but leaves my skin a little too shiny. Wish it was a matte finish"

Q&A

Is this product good for oily skin? My skin is very oily and maybe I should use a powder.
Hi there, thanks for your question. Daily SPF Primer is a serum-like consistency and provides a golden tint and subtle glow. If you experience excess shine, you can use a mattifying primer underneath or translucent powder on top. Hope that helps!
Is this product reef safe and biodegradable?
Hi Brianna, thank you for your question. Our SPF products are formulated WITHOUT chemical sunscreens known to be harmful to coral reefs. The SPF benefits come from uncoated (non-nano) Zinc Oxide, which is mineral-derived and considered biodegradable. Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help!
Hey there! I don't like tinted products that can rub off on my clothes. So my question is....upon dry down of the product after application, can it rub off on clothes? I want a little to no tint product. Please let me know.
Hi Chantal, there will always be a possibility of transfer with any tinted product. Daily SPF Primer is very lightly tinted and the pigment coverage is minimal. It is intentionally formulated to have a radiant finish. I hope that helps!
Hello, is this sunscreen replaceable for my everyday? I'm currently using a 50spf moisturizer. Or is this not recommended to replace everyday spf?
Hi Katie, yes! Daily SPF 50 Primer can serve as your daily SPF. (You would not gain any additional sun protection by layering with another SPF product.) Our Daily SPF Primer is lightly tinted and has a serum-like texture for easy application and no white cast. We hope you love it!
Do you still have to apply 1/4 tsp of the product to get the SPF 50?
Hi there, general usage recommendations for sunscreen products do not typically specify a minimum amount to apply. For our Daily SPF Primer, 1 to 2 droppers-full should suffice for the face. Be sure to shake well prior to application to ensure even distribution of the sunscreen ingredient, apply liberally, reapply as necessary (every two hours or after swimming or sweating per the directions). Hope that helps!
