The lightweight and breathable Light Hearted formula is transparent so that it suits all skin types and won't leave behind a heavy white cast or a finish that feels uncomfortable to the touch. The product is both a [physical and chemical sunscreen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-sunscreen-spf30), plus it boasts skincare benefits since it offers environmental protection, helps to refine the look of pores and diminish fine lines, wrinkles and spots.
