Anyone use/try Andalou Naturals roses SPF 30 for sensitive skin (the tinted version)?

I tried the sheer nude tint in the store over my hand and it was a perfect match and I had some redness from healing scratches and it neutralized the redness! I am really tempted to buy it, as it seemed on par with Paula's Choice Super light moisturizer. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it? My only minor concern was it was pretty heavily rose scented (NOT added fragrance) because it does have alot of rose extracts.

I like the percent of zinc oxide it contains. Where did you test it at? I haven't seen it in my area but I have heard of the brand. About 10 yeas ago I used Clarins Bright Plus line. It smelled like roses. The scent was faint enough that it didn't bother me. Of course, it did nothing for my brown spots so I moved on.

myshell, I tested it at Whole Foods. It was also at a local grocery store (a Whole-Foods like store) but they didn't have a tester available. I put it on the back of both hands and noticed the rose scent but it eventually faded away later in the day. I like rose scents, just not sure if it would bother me on my face after awhile?

Thanks HappyDaze. I am planning to take my daughter to Chucky Cheese when school gets out. She is only 2 but her brothers want to go. There is a Whole Foods close by that I usually try and visit when I am in the area. I'll see if they have a tester. The last time I got a chance to go there, they had testers for just about everything they offered.

Just wanted to say that I've been using this for about 2 months now and have not had any issues with the rose scent. It does dissipate quickly.

How are you using it? For SPF? Moisturizer?

Bella I use it on days I don't wear my Missha as basically a tinted moisturizer. It gives me enough coverage or if I want more coverage I will use something light over it like a dusting of Josie's matchmaker powder foundation. I've been switching it off with the Missha- I wear the Missha when I want that extra polished look. Smile

I use a good amount, like I would with a regular SPF so I make sure I get the SPF protection I want. I haven't used it under another foundation (except the JM powder one) so I can't really say how that would work. Like the Missha the color is a perfect match for me (I use the sheer nude). Even when I use that large of amount, the color always stays true, never gets too dark or odd looking like some tinted moisturizers or bb/cc creams do if you keep applying more. It has replaced my Paula's Choice super light tinted SPF moisturizer.

Hmmm. I know how much you liked the PC. You got me to try it and I like it a lot. Think I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this. Did I read you mentioned it is cheaper than the PC? I probably would not wear anything over it other than a dusting of LG BnB on my nose. I have an Andalou mask I like, pumpkin enzyme. Nice line. Have you tried anything else from them.

Wow. I clicked on this thinking what the heck. I thought HappyDaze already used this. LOL. I've been using it about a week and really like it too.
