No7 City Light Tinted Moisturiser Fair

Product Information

When looking for the best tinted moisturizer, opt for a formula that not only helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors but also matches your skin tone seamlessly. Formulated with SkinExpert TMtechnology analysing 1.9m skin tones for a true-skin match. Available in 19 shades, this product has been specifically formulated with a medium coverage to blend seamlessly into a range of skin tones. Better together: Tinted moisturizer should be used to supplement an existing skincare routine rather than replace your face cream. Its lightweight formula can be layered over regular moisturizer, helping skin to retain even more moisture, while creating a smoother and more even-looking appearance.

The No7 HydraLuminous AquaRelease™ Skin Perfector has been designed with Skin Expert™ technology for a true skin match. Available in six shades to suit a wide range of skin tones, this tinted moisturiser provides sheer-to-light coverage that melts effortlessly into the skin. It has a super lightweight and breathable consistency that blends effortlessly into the skin and builds to your desired level of coverage. The result: A dewy complexion with a healthy, natural-looking glow. We did find, however, that the shade matches skew darker and doesn't match perfectly on those with lighter complexions. If you find that a standard foundation feels too heavy and suffocating on your skin, you'll love this super breathable formula that still gives sufficient coverage without becoming cakey or dry. We also recommend this for those who love that dewy finish, as it glows all day long but won't separate or make you look too shiny. Tinted moisturizers are ideal for lighter coverage. If extra coverage is required, a concealer can be applied over the tinted moisturizer.

Featuring No7’s Antioxidant Complex together with 5* UVA technology + SPF15, it helps to boost the skin’s natural defence and shield against premature signs of ageing by protecting the skin from harmful effects of the sun and combats the drying effect of environmental stresses such as pollution.

This product isn’t as greasy other brands as well which means my break outs are now only limited to the dreaded time of the month. I’ve tried other brands that left that obvious sun cream shine, even under makeup. I have quite oily skin anyway and so having the extra layer of grease meant I was breaking out with spots every couple of days or so. This has the telltale shine that comes with a sun screen BUT it’s a faction of what other brands looks like. Plus if you put a really good primer over the top, before make up, it takes most of the shine away. A cross between foundation and day cream, a tinted moisturizer is a lightweight hydrator infused with pigments that provides light coverage while also hydrating the skin. Key Benefit: Refreshed, healthier-looking and more luminous complexion that keeps getting better with wear.
