Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses CC Color + Correct with SPF 30, Sheer Beige, 2-in-1 Face Sunscreen + CC Cream for Sensitive Skin, Helps Correct Uneven Skin Tone, Reef Safe Sunscreen, 2 Fl Oz

I’ve used maybe 10 bottles of this total. I love it. I love how it feels and smells and how it settles into my skin. It gives my skin the healthiest glow, blurs imperfections and provides sun protection. I rub a little between my hands and put it directly on my face. It feels on the thicker side at first but it will melt (in a good way) into your skin and leaves it feeling moisturized, healthy and glowy. It doesn’t feel heavy after the first 2 minutes you put it on! I hope they never stop making this.

I’ve repurchased this product many times. I like that the brand uses clean ingredients (no parabens or phthalates). I like that this has an SPF of 30, as many other tinted sunscreens seem to have a lower SPF. This product has a pleasant rose smell and feels nice on the skin. The tint doesn’t provide much coverage, but it’s better than nothing. And I feel these pads SPF protection works great along with other anti-aging skin benefits. You don’t need much on each application so a tube lasts a while.

It is a bit greasy, but very moisturizing if you wear this alone as your only moisturizer. It is really a tinted sunblock moisturizer and makes skin look pretty, but it has only translucent coverage so it is not buildable coverage on imperfections. The ingredients are not as good as they used to be in this product, but it does smell nice.

I've only been using this product for a few weeks, but it has already become a staple in my makeup routine. I have oily skin, especially in the summer with the high humidity, and this product not only protects my skin from the sun it also keeps my skin from being oily! A completely unexpected and highly prized PLUS! My previous experience with BB and CC creams has led me to be wary because they typically leave my face even more oily than it normally is an hour after application. However, the reviews for this product were good and I really wanted something that was lighter than typical makeup, protected my skin, had all or mostly all natural ingredients without anything extremely harmful in it, and wouldn't hit my budget hard. After some searching I found this product and am COMPLETELY satisfied with my purchase! I wear this item as a "base" for my makeup. It does not add a lot of color by itself and I was expecting that from a CC cream so it wasn't an issue for me. Especially for days when I want a "lighter" more natural look for outdoor activities (where wearing full regalia makeup would be a total waste of time-and makeup). During my regular makeup routine I mix this with a little color from my LUSH color supplement (a more natural skin tint) and rub on my face with my ring finger before smoothing with a makeup sponge. Takes about 2 minutes. The scent is, to me, very light and pleasant and does smell like roses. FYI money savers: if you have a TJ Maxx store near you this product MIGHT be available for 9.99 (they rotate stock a lot so it's a 50/50). If you're going to go anyway or you aren't sure you'd like it so want to pay a cheaper price...well, I have provided you with helpful information. :) If none of that is important to you then disregard what you just read. The last thing that I will add is that if this product continues to be priced as is (currently 15.99 at my first purchase on Amazon) or lower then I will most certainly keep purchasing (and recommending to all of my friends)!

I absolutely love this product. It is a nice light-medium (my opinion) coverage CC cream that balances and evens out skin tone while maintaining a natural look. I feel as though some people complaining about it being too thick are trying to slather it on like a moisturizer. Yes, if you apply this with a heavy hand it will look ridiculous. This product isn't meant to be worn as a full/heavy foundation. There are plenty out there but I don't find this to be one of them. I have very fair skin with freckles and a lot of product looks fake because my skin is very light but my freckles are dark brown. I found this product to blend wonderfully and smoothly and I like it because it isn't drying and can be worn everyday. It does smell like roses but I find it appealing, though some may not. A big selling point for me is that it is SPF 30 which protects the skin from 97% of the sun's rays. It can also boast UVA and UVB protection all while maintaining the leaping bunny logo which means good for your body and the environment. I did some research and in an article by Stephen Wang, a director of dermatology at Memorial Sloane-Kettering states that you must have at least an SPF 30 with broad spectrum protection to take care of your skin. The beauty of this product is it offers enough coverage to be able to wear it daily without having to layer sunscreen on with it as well. This has fast become one of my favorite BB/CC creams and I've tried quite a few. I really can't say anything bad about it other than some people might not like the smell but that is personal preference. For me, 5/5 and I plan on buying this repeatedly.

I’ve used this sunscreen for almost a decade because it was the only mineral one (20% zinc) that protected well and didn’t break me out. But Andalou keeps changing the formula and the Beige shade. You never know what you’ll get, and they don’t take returns. The newest version is darker and no longer works for my fair Irish/Russian skin (Fitzpatrick I–II, neutral undertone). They also added a strong, jolly rancher-esque fragrance that smells awful and gives me a headache. It smells so strongly that it's akin to rubbing straight perfume on your face. Yuck! I also noticed that I broke out into a rash made up of very tiny pimples. As I have sensitive skin, I'm going to assume from the fragrance. I'm so sad! The version they released *just* before the current abomination (lol) was their best one so far! They had really dialed in the formula to feel more semi-matte instead of greasy. I use this product for the SPF and you need to apply 1/8-1/4 tsp to your face and jaw (yes, that amount for *just* your face) to achieve the advertised SPF 30 on the bottle. If you're putting on less than that, you're not getting SPF 30. Maybe SPF 15. Or SPF 6. When I would apply that amount with older versions, it was sooo uncomfortable and ugly. An oil slick. The last iteration had some "tack" to it, so it wouldn't slide off my face throughout the day, or rub off at the slightest touch, or turn me into a disco ball. I really hope they switch the formula back... In the meantime, I'm off to look for options form other brands and/or scour eBay for old versions of this cc cream.

Ladies - wear sunscreen! I stopped wearing makeup and replaced it with tinted sunscreen about 8 years ago and my skin has never looked better. Sun damage is one of the leading causes of aging skin. I don’t find this oily if you only use a pea-sized amount. If you prefer more moisturizer, I mix it with a plain moisturizer or apply the untinted moisturizer on first and then the tinted sunscreen. I don’t get breakouts and always get told I look way younger than my age (I know they’re just being nice but shhh). It covers up my freckles fine. I love the hint of rose smell too.

I've been looking for the best, all natural (rated highly on EWG.org) sheer tinted moisturizer with SPF, and I had hoped Andalou would be it. So I tried both the BB and CC creams. I rate the BB cream at 3 stars and the CC cream at 3.5 stars. While they both provide sun protection and light coverage, neither are my favorite. Both are sticky and leave a film on your face. Some may call this dewy, but it's just sticky. It comes off whenever you touch your face, even a light brush against something. The BB cream is a little stickier than the CC cream. This BB cream has slightly less coverage than the CC cream but both still work well for skin protection. Neither are very lightweight though, since they leave a layer on your skin. The worst part is this makes your powder look odd. It enhances fine lines (no good). Neither leave a nice finish, with or without powder. If you lightly blot your skin at any time throughout the day, the tissue will have a light greasy, tinted spot on it. The CC cream is slightly less greasy after a few hours. Both are good for sensitive skin though. Mine is easily irritated by many ingredients, especially chemicals, additives, and fragrances. This CC cream has a light rose scent to it that goes away in a few minutes, which thankfully didn't irritate my skin or sinuses. Perhaps this is a benefit for some, but I'd rather not have any added scents. Please note: I've tried these creams with multiple moisturizers underneath, on their own, and makeup on top, and in various climates (both dry and humid, hot and cold). They're about the same in each.

Really nice product and it smells like rose Turkish delight. It sits nicely on the skin and feels good. I like wearing it as it's weightless and feels very clean. Mascara seems to smudge a bit with it under the eyes which is annoying, but I'd rather go without mascara than without this as it makes my skin look really nice.

Love it, light coverage, good SPF and naturall, plus the rose scent is gorgeous, will definitely be buying again!

It is one of the best cc creams for me. Light coverage, perfect for fair skin and gives good sun protection. Unfortunately the date expires in 3 months. Didn't return it because I do need a cc cream now and hopefully I can use half of it till the end of the date.

Wonderful products. Wish Amazon carried more.

cons - The tint is too dark, it has a very strong fragrance, the pump used to dispense it doesn't work, makes me look greasy, rubs off easily, especially around the shirt collar. pro - no breakouts.
