Saie Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 35 - Light Coverage, Glowy Skin Tint & Mineral Sunscreen for Face with Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid - Summer Makeup Essential - Shade Ten (1.35 oz)

This company and its products are truly impressive. The Saie tinted moisturizer is lightweight and hydrating, giving your skin a natural glow without any greasiness. It doesn’t settle into fine lines, either. While the product can be a bit thick, making it tricky to dispense with the pump, I haven’t come across anything that rivals its performance. The whole product line is fantastic and suitable for both younger and older users, delivering exceptional results. Prepare to receive compliments on your skin's radiant and natural look—only enhanced. A little product goes a long way. Additionally, the company is committed to environmental sustainability.

I love this. It’s a nice hydrating formula that made my skin look glowy and healthy. It’s the perfect light coverage where it doesn’t look (or feel) like I’m wearing makeup, but it softens the redness and discoloration on my face. It doesn’t cling to my texture or dry skin. I can wear it all day and it still looks and feels good at the end of the day.

Easy to apply and no streaking. Provides a clean, tinted, lightweight finish while protecting my skin with sun screen

I write this as a devotee to Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen BB Cream. I wanted to find something with a bit less sheerness - a bit more "color" while not being an actual foundation. I have found that Australian Gold works well with my 2 foundation favorites: iT Your Skin But Better & Sephora Best Skin Ever. This is a review of Saie Slip Tint SPF 35 Tinted Moisturizer - Light Coverage Moisturizer + Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunscreen - Shade Three + Half: My first impression of Saie - upon opening it - was that I wasn't impressed with the smell... it seemed a bit chemical-like? Hard to describe. It wasn't pleasant but it wasn't awful either. It went on very well, easy to blend, creamy. Compared to Australian Gold - which dries to a matte finish, it doesn't dry - it stays moist. This is both good and bad. Good because I have time to then apply a touch of my foundation over it, and blend it. Bad because it stays a bit shiny/wet looking - and needs a finishing powder to temper the shine. I found that Saie would not blend with my iT foundation - it balled up, it was streaky, it settled in my lines and pores & is very hard to blend. Saie did "ok" with the Sephora - not too bad.. but the Saie alone settles in fine lines, especially under the eyes and around the mouth/nose. If I use the Saie with ONLY my Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer - it works well. I blend the concealer out toward my upper cheek bone - then blend/feather out - and I then don't use any foundation at all... just top with a finishing powder. So this product DOES settle in lines, creases, corner of nose, smile lines, and especially under eyes... but.. if you work with it a bit, and use a good quality brush, you can work the "settling" out. At the end of the day - I find that it looks pretty close to the same as when I applied it - but - I do get a bit of shine in my T-zone by the end of the day. When I use Australian Gold - I get no shine, no settling into lines/creases, it works with all of my other make-ups/foundations, and looks the same at the end of the day as when I first applied it. The biggest difference between the two products is that Saie has more coverage, and Australian Gold is much more shear/transparent/barely there. Saie CAN be worn on its own as an extremely light foundation - as it offers color to the surface of your skin, whereas Australian Gold seems to absorb into the skin. AG is MUCH more creamy and hydrating - but dries to a matte finish, and Saie applies creamy- if not wet feeling - and drying to a less-wet, but not matte or dry finish. AG has no odor/smell, and while Saie has a noticeable odor/smell - it dissipates after application, and now it actually isn't as noticeable as it was initially upon opening the product.. so that might be a temporary odor due to newness. Do I recommend Saie: Yes! I do. I would definitely try it as I feel it might apply differently to different skin types. I would use some kind of applicator to ensure better coverage (vs using your fingers) - and I have found a brush is better than a sponge. Does it work with foundation? Yes & No. Worked with one, and not with the other. Can it be used alone as an ultra light foundation? Yes! And it feels good on the skin, light & not greasy, but it does have shine. I now use both AG & Saie equally.. but my dry skin on my cheeks works better with Saie while my T-zone works better with AG! :). It's a toss up. In summary - Saie is not my holy grail, but it is a likable product that hasn't caused any break-outs or issues with my skin, goes on nicely & I'll probably purchase it again. $36 is, to me, pricey. You get far more bang for your buck with Australian gold (SO MUCH PRODUCT in the tube - it's a WOW on that).

In the past year I have gone down a BB cream rabbit hole trying to find the safest, cleanest bb cream. My staple was the Maybelline BB cream in light/medium, and while it is excellent for the cost and overall safe, I was looking for something even cleaner than that product. I like to wear bb cream as a daily foundation replacement with a little blush, followed by a setting spray. I have also tried samples of: It cosmetics - too thick Hourglass - no spf Ilia skin tint - too runny and smelled unplesant Tower 28 - close contender, not super thick but thicker than maybelline and Saie, could be a bit sticky Clinique - bb and cc cream - a bit cakey and enhanced my pores Nars - I loved this one but did not want to spend this much I have not tried tarte, supergoop, or summer fridays, but I'd like to try those next. For now, I am happy with Saie's quality ingredients and how well it works as a mineral-based sunscreen. I love that the ingredients list is non-carcinogenic, nourishing, and well-formulated. The only flagged compound (titanium dioxide, a mineral UV protection and pigment) is not a concern in its non-inhaled, cream form. While this one is not 100% perfect, I am super picky and very so satisfied with it. It could be a bit thicker, but the lightweight coverage is a plus, and it feels great to wear. If you feel stuck in a bb cream search, take a break for a few months and try this one because it's honestly a great choice! More ingredient details: - No formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, coal tar, PEGs with contamination concerns, or chemical sunscreens like oxybenzone. These are not only non-carcinogenic -- many have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or skin-repairing benefits: - Zinc Oxide (15%) – Mineral sunscreen, non-carcinogenic. In fact, it's one of the safest UV filters and helps prevent UV-related skin damage. - Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Argan Oil, Jojoba Esters, Bisabolol, Licorice Extract, Aloe Vera, Radish Root Ferment, Viola Tricolor Extract, Coconut Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) – All gentle, nourishing, and non-carcinogenic. - Water, Beeswax, Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Mica, Acacia Gum – Common cosmetic ingredients with no known cancer risks. - Iron Oxides – Mineral pigments with no significant cancer risk when used topically.

I am a no makeup makeup person. I have rarely worn foundation in my life but I do find it beneficial to have something to even out my skin tone etc. this slip tint has been my go to for almost two years now. The color is pfinented enough to even skin and redness, but sheer enough to blend out into the skin. I use it with Ilia multi sticks for blush and color and it's a quick 5 min or less makeup that looks dewy, healthy, and feels good. If you like a more traditional foundation or more coverage this isn't for you, and also if you're looking for a more matte finish. My skin is aging at 38 and is very textured and powders and even foundation serums I find make my skin look more old. So I think this is a great option for maturing skin as well. I've had one bottle last me over a year. (Mind you I'm not an every day makeup wearer, I'd say I use it 2-4 times a week). That being said it's still a great value for what you get. Because it's a tinted moisturizer the tint is also more forgiving and blends with your skin (it's less precise than a foundation). But I have found that the 3.5 shade matches my odd light to medium skin with a cool/neutral undertone but also some olive a tad really well.

I agree with those who find this product too oily and also smelly. I didn't shake it well the first time and the only thing that came out was oil. Oil is the second (non-active) ingredient listed so yes, it is very oily. The smell is rancid oil. I recognize it because it smells just like any other oil that has gone bad - like olive oil or sesame oil when it spoils and becomes bitter. The color was lighter than expected but I won't be ordering a darker shade. Most of the reviews are so good it makes me wonder if I got some from a bad batch.

This product feels very nice on my face, but I’m not sure if I got the right shade. It doesn’t really have much of a tint on my face. I like that it has a little bit of a glow, and that it has good sun protection.
