Of course! Thank you so much for considering me and allowing me to review your product!
I was at ulta looking for one and bought it. Good to hear your review. Usually we don’t find many products for dry skin and I am glad now these companies are realizing that there are people with dry skin out there
So I finally got this sunscreen and absolutely love it! It’s what I’ve been needing in this dry winter. My skin is happy. I’m a similar skin tone to ramón and I noticed that when I just globbed everything on my face at once (instead of doing a little at a time), I did have a bit of a white cast and that was with quite a bit of rubbing. But after I let it sit for 5 minutes and did a final rub through, the white cast was completely gone. I did a half and half comparison of this and the pipette, and the pipette was easier to rub in but it stayed greasy on my face whereas with the kinship, as ramón said, it settles into the skin nicely. My skin felt super hydrated and moisturized. It didn’t feel like I was wearing a sunscreen, but just layered on a nice, thick cream. Also it smelled like chocolate to me. I got the kinship moisturizer as well and am in love. I was using Laneige water cream and the Belif truth bomb, but this is way more moisturizing. I’ll save those for the summer.
No one else does such a thorough wear test and demonstration for sunscreens. I feel like I have such a better understanding of how/if it would work for me. Thank you! LOVE your channel!
wow was watching Hyram’s RUclips for sunscreen & your video popped up on my up next, IM SO HAPPY 😭 it’s so hard to find brown-skin AND oily skin RUclipsrs on here. Instant subscribe! 💕🥰
I don't think this particular product is for me but I'd certainly be interested in a video showing what else this brand offers and what your thoughts are.
YAY, so glad you reviewed this! I’ve been curious to hear your thoughts because when my skin is dry, I LOVE this, but when I’m having more of an oily day it can feel too heavy. None of my friends can agree on this sunscreen- two of my friends said it’s a matte texture, but my boyfriend’s mom and I think it’s super moisturizing and dewy. It’s so funny how subjective it is, it totally depends on your skin type.
3 года назад
Yeah, it definitely is emollient and it leaves me radiant, so I imagine it’ll work great for dryer skin types. I saw your review mentioning people saying matte and I was like ‘matte WHERE?!’
I have very warm skin, and my issue with zinc sunscreens is the pinky-lilac cast, so I wish that more formulations would focus on neutralizing the cooler tone as well as not making it ashy, because even with less ashy sunscreens like the Biossance squalane sunscreen, I look like I put a purple color corrector over my whole face.
earned a subscriber here. i love how thorough you are with this review especially on the different day/situations part! u deserve millions of followers. more power to u. 😘✨
I love you so much literally I'm so broke being a student and trying to take care of my skin is so hard cuz of the price points but you always give the best reviews!! ❤️❤️❤️🌈
I ordered this when it first came out and I was so excited to try it but it is wayyyy too heavy and greasy feeling on my combo oily skin. This also gathered horribly in my beard. Their customer service is top notch and they refunded me and told me to just give this to someone else. I really wish it was less emollient since I really loved the sweet cake smell of this!
3 года назад+2
I'm happy to hear their customer service is stellar! My experience with Kinship has been top notch as well. What I will say is that I agree with you whole heartedly, especially with the beard part, but at the moment my skin can take the extra emolliency here in the UK transition between fall and winter. I would never consider this for summer lol.
Thanks so much for the thorough review. Was unsure before but now I’m going to go for it! I’m definitely on the dry side and wanted something that feels like a proper moisturizer, and could definitely benefit from a little bit of glow, so this seems great!
My skin is dry/combo so this might work on me. And the licorice root extract!!!
3 года назад+2
I think this is more moisturizing than comfy water. I found that one left me fairly matte. Plus this doesn't pill like that one tends to lol. A few have requested a review, so I'll have to put one together!
@ I finished that tube of Purito, and while I did enjoy the way it felt on my skin, it did pill. Going to give Kinship a try.
3 года назад
Ughhh the pilling of it. It took very meticulous effort to make it not pill, but who wants to put that kinda effort in in the morning? I’m excited to hear what you think of kinship!
Thank you for such a thorough review! I have very dry skin and am always looking for a dewy mineral sunscreen. However, i am so confused by this sunscreen! I am a light tan (lighter than you) and yet it leaves a white cast on me!
you should review paula’s choice essential glow mineral sunscreen, i’ve seen people say it doesn’t leave a white cast but i can’t find many video reviews of it
3 года назад+6
Ooooh ok! I think I can even get that here in London! I'll look into it
Yes, please do a review of other products they offer. So you would recommend this for someone with dry skin? My friends/coworkers are looking for a mineral sunscreen (they have a sensitive to American chemical filters).
3 года назад+1
Ok! Review coming soon! And yes! I think it's nicely moisturizing. Something I failed to mention was how my friend Gabbii said this would be a great sunscreen specifically in the winter for her since it's a bit MORE moisturizing, and I agree. It's nicely nourishing and emollient, so this should work beautifully on dry skin. Also, the Cocokind sunscreen I reviewed is a nice option as well!
Thanks again for this review! I hope you can review COSRX Shield Fit All Green Comfort Sun SPF50+ PA++++ :) PS: I bought the Pyunkang Yul sunscreen because of you! I love it so far.
3 года назад+2
If I'm not mistaken I think I just bought the CosRx one and have it in my cupboard! So glad to hear you're loving it! I've been wearing it on my low maintenance days at home
Such a good review honey :) I hope your happy in London . Would be amazing to meet for a coffee and go skincare shopping . Wishing you and your boyfriend all my love and Happiness in London xx
3 года назад+2
thank you so much! we're enjoying it. We're honestly STILL trying to find some bomb skincare shopping spots! Any recs?
Personally, with my oily skin, I do not like this sunscreen. The white cast on me feels jarring but I could look past that if it didn’t make my face feel so freakin sweaty. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s thicker but it drives me insane, plus I’m not a giant fan of the smell but also sunscreen smell doesn’t bother me
Ramon do you have a video that describes the makeup you use for these videos? I mean the kind of foundation - liquid, powder, or cream - and your application process. And how do you apply sunscreen over it? And could you please address the size of sunscreen tubes? For this to be the most effective anti-aging product and the only one that actually protects us from a deadly illness why is sold in such small amounts? It's usually not cheap either. On top of that we're told to reapply for it to truly protect us so we zoom right through the tubes. I think it be at least 8 ounces for people to comfortably use as directed. Shouldn't we have as much sunscreen as we do shampoo or body lotion?
3 года назад+1
I have quite a few videos where I discuss my makeup! It's generally minimal Fenty Beauty. I 100% agree with you about the sizes, and I reference it when I mention how much product you get for how much they charge, but I really cannot give a reasoning or do anything about the fact that 50 mL seems to be the standard sunscreen size, as heartbreaking as it is. That's why I generally try to stay below a $20-$25 budget for sunscreens since I need to be able to recommend something on the affordable side since it IS something that needs to be used frequently and liberally. It gets tricky with mineral sunscreens since I make quite a few videos on requests and recommended sunscreens, and finding an elegant textured mineral sunscreen that leaves minimal to no white cast on tan/dark/deep skin seems to be shooting for the stars. Plus, sunscreens are also apparently very difficult and costly to manufacture.
Very late and I can't say what it was like 10 months ago. But I picked Kinship up at Ulta yesterday, so it seems to be carried in skin and beauty care stores now.
I wonder why this one looks so good on you but on RUclipsr Hot & Flashy it looked super greasy/shiny
3 года назад+2
Skin type is a huge factor in this! Skin is very much unique and therefore products don’t always act and look the same on everyone. Sometimes people also tend to over/under apply sunscreen as well. I love Hot and Flashy though! Such great content
I used this on top of my normal day time routine and I hated it. Not sure if it was the sunscreen itself or the mixture of the sunscreen with the specific moisturizer I use. Regardless i think i may return it :(
3 года назад+2
I def recommend trying it without the moisturizer. It in itself functions beautifully as a moisturizer, and oftentimes layering too much of moisturizing products means a less elegant experience
Why do you recommend blotting? I think that would affect the protection you are getting if you do that. Dr dray has talked about this
3 года назад+2
From my formulation perspective: The crucial thing with sunscreens and getting the protection they advertise is applying them evenly and allowing them to set down to form the film of protection. Once the sunscreen filters are allowed to ADsorb, set in, and form the layer of protection they need, all thats really getting blotted away is the excess emollient ingredients. But again, give the sunscreen time to set in. No less than 5 minutes. Even mineral sunscreens work in this way. Film formers are an essential part of how sunscreens get formulated. Blotting CAREFULLY removes minimal amounts of sunscreen protection if any at all. Applying primer and makeup on top of makeup allows a larger opportunity for protection disruptions, but even then I barely worry.
No one does as throuogh of a sunscreen review as you thank you for your content!!! Would you say this take about 10-15 minutes to fully settle in on top of a regular skin care routine?
3 года назад
I’d say roughly 10 minutes specifically for the white cast to set down for more rich skin tones. With mineral sunscreens, you want to wait the 10-15 for the sunscreen to set down in general. Depending on your skin type, though, this is moisturizing enough to take place of moisturizer and sets down nicely over just a few hydrators
Wow, that sunscreen is SHINY! I'll pass, I like a more natural finish to my sunscreen and moisturizers. I don't wear makeup and don't want to have to powder my face afterwards.
Hey :) I just found your RUclips account and I want to reccomend a sunscreen to you! I would love to hear your opinion on it. I am dark skinned and works so good for me! Its name is Take Care from V.Sun. Its a German brand (Me too i am from Germany) but it has international shipping. I think this could be really interesting for you since it leaves literally no whitecast and i think the ingredients are really good :)
3 года назад+2
I just looked into it and it looks like a phenomenal sunscreen that’s super affordable! I’m trying to order it but I can’t seem to get it to ship to the UK
Yeah, its super affordable! To me its really the best but not many people know it, even in Germany! They also support sea protection projects. It’s really sad that you cant order it :(
Sadly this felt incredibly occlusive on my skin and caused breakouts. The feel on my skin was incredibly heavy and matte, wearing a mask on top of this, the fabric of the mask felt velcroed to the texture of my skin. Very disappointed in this formulation.
3 года назад+1
You felt it was matte? That’s interesting. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. Did you wear it by itself or with a moisturizer underneath it?
@ Ooh sorry, I meant matte in terms of texture, like it had such a "grippy" weird feel to it. But in terms of finish it was dewy. I wore it alone thinking it would be moisturizing enough without another product.
What are they trying to say with plat-based probiotic? I have a PhD on Microbiology and do research on human skin/nasal microbiome. Probiotics are live bacteria, so how can they be plant-based?
Hi there! Self Reflect Sunscreen contains our proprietary microbiome technology - a plant-based pre-probiotic - derived from the fermentation of lactobacillus to support a strong natural skin barrier. It is technically a "prebiotic" versus a "probiotic." We mention that it’s plant-based because that’s what the probiotic feeds off of. Our microbiome technology uses a plant-based feedstock that lactobacillus can thrive on.
@@lovekinship I agree it is not a probiotic if is not alive. However, prebiotics are usually understood as the nutrients that feed the probiotics. And when you talk about the products generated by live bacteria, those can be called postbiotics (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224417302765)

@ The Ordinary Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, Cerave Moisturizer and Illamasqua primer. It pills up around my chin, nose, hairline and lips
3 года назад
Oooh alright. I feel like those serums always caused me issues too with pilling and texture. I’ve never used that primer though. The pilling generally means ingredients between products aren’t compatible
@ yeah, i don’t like those serums so i’m trying to use them up. i hope that as soon as i’m done with them, the sunscreen stops that because i really do like it.
3 года назад+1
Maybe switch to only nighttime use for the serums? With the moisturizer and sunscreen, you get good hydration. Idk which CeraVe moisturizer you’re using, but a handful of them also feature niacinamide, and the kinship moisturizer has ingredients that give a lot of benefits similar to Niacinamide

The QUALITY of this video though! 🙌
Thank you! Still trying to get the lighting and filming set up 100% right
Im so glad you did this review! Ive seen some buzz but im glad I got to see your indepth wear test and break down!!
Yay I hope you found it useful! Make sure you check out the other tagged creators to see their reviews as well
Bought this sunscreen after watching your review. (: It smells great and feels very hydrating on my dry skin. Oh! And makeup looks great!
I have very warm skin, and my issue with zinc sunscreens is the pinky-lilac cast, so I wish that more formulations would focus on neutralizing the cooler tone as well as not making it ashy, because even with less ashy sunscreens like the Biossance squalane sunscreen, I look like I put a purple color corrector over my whole face.
Wow thank you for the great in depth review! I love your scientific and knowledgeable approach but still easy to understand and watch.
i love this thorough review as always :)) this sunscreen is definitely on my list!

@@jhvoorhies Thanks John! ❤️🌹
This one doesnt have silicones so that’s why I bought it and my skin is dry… so, Im excited after seeing this vid :3
Saw this on ulta 21 days of beauty so I needed to know the tea. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the super thorough review!!!! Did it make your eyes burn having it so close to the eyes? I experience that sometimes with sunscreen.

The beard cast is what’s the make it or break it for me 😭😭😭
ugh I know, but tbh I like Raw Tin Skin's practice of using an organic sunscreen in the beard if need be.
Yes, please do a review of other products they offer.

i’m sorry but the way you rub your face cheri intensely makes me very nervous. please be more gentle!!!
