Saie Slip Tint SPF 35 Tinted Moisturizer - Light Coverage Moisturizer + Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunscreen with Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid - Three Shade + Half (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.

The product is really very good in terms of color and texture; your skin looks hydrated. The only thing is that the smell is quite strong. Please work on your formula and you will have a perfect, non-toxic product.

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).

I like it a lot overall! My only minor complaint is that it it feels a little greasy on my skin and doesn’t seem to set on its own. I have very dry skin too but it might be in combination with my skincare routine.

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!
