This is Paula's Choice's sunscreen offer for combination and oily skin. It is tinted, and you can notice the color on the skin just a little bit but not to the point where it looks like makeup. It is enough to even out the complexion, and it worked well for me, but the coloring might be too obvious/look chalky over facial hair, so if you have a beard, beware.
Even though there are not a lot of hydrating/emollient ingredients in this sunscreen, and it is in fact the least moisturizing of the sunscreens I tried from Paula's Choice, my skin did not feel dry when I used it. This was enough for me during the day, I didn't need to add another moisturizer. This sunscreen focuses more on antioxidants than emollients, in addition to a few skin-soothing ingredients that help defend against environmental stressors while keeping the skin calm and balanced. It works to counteract daily oxidative damage and reduce the risk of irritation from sun exposure.
But the Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense also has the "lightest" and least impressive ingredients list of the brand's moisturizers, so it wouldn't be my first choice.
Depending on where you buy it and active promotions, it's around 35-45€ per 60 ml.
