This Sunscreen Is Hot

We here at VIOLET GREY routinely turn to Dr. Dennis Gross’s powerful products to reverse the signs of sun damage (hello, FacewarePro and Daily Peel Pads), so it felt only natural to trust that his SPF would be equally as effective at preventing sun damage. With what is shaping up to be one of the most social and sun-drenched summers of our lives, we were eager to get our hands on Dr. Dennis Gross’s new SPF.

As beauty people, VIOLET STAFFERS are very particular about our SPF: Will it be chalky? Clog pores? Irritate sensitive skin? No, no, and no. Claiming to protect against UVA/UVB rays and blue light, this formula also boasts that it is appropriate for all skin tones and types and is reef safe. Naturally, we knew we had to get it into the hands of our Committee of Industry Experts to put it to the test.

“I am thrilled to have this protective lightweight formula as part of my AM routine–it feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen.”

“A lot of SPFs can pill on the skin throughout the day, but this cream provided transparent moisture all day without any sort of flaking.”

“This lightweight formula applies like a serum and leaves a ‘glow up’ finish.”

Testers were immediately enamored, reporting back that this sunscreen absorbs easily into both dry and oily skin, performs extremely well under makeup, and leaves a glowy finish. Committee members were impressed that it not only provides broad-spectrum sun protection, but also defends against blue light and other environmental stressors, helping to prevent wrinkles as well as dark spots. The fact that this formula is fragrance-free was the cherry on top of this new go-to summer staple. By unanimous decision, the All-Physical Lightweight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30 is officially VIOLET CODE APPROVED and is a welcome addition to THE SHELVES.
