The holy grail of moisturizers might just have you saying goodbye to heavy makeup in the summer once and for all. After so many failed attempts to buy a product that brought me this kind of satisfaction, I decided to test out DRMTLGY after seeing everyone rave about it. Being a skin-care junky, I’ve tried so many products, but only a few make it back into my consistent routine. I’m about halfway through DRMTLGY’s Tinted Moisturizer and I’ve already ordered my second bottle! I’m so excited to share my experience with you.
MEET THE BRAND:
DRMTLGY’s emphasis on their medical-grade skincare is what set them apart from the others when I was on the hunt for new skincare products. On a mission to help its customers achieve desired results quicker and safer, DRMTLGY uses evidence-based research to formulate products that are effective, while still being reasonably priced. DRMTLGY’s products are all made in the U.S. in an FDA-regulated facility and go through rigorous testing with cruelty-free manufacturing.
What I like about this brand is the information they provide for their customers about the science behind the sun and protecting your skin from it. It is easy to find a skin-care brand that promises superficial benefits, but it is difficult to find a brand that shows genuine concern for your skin. DRMTLGY emphasizes the benefits of their products such as blocking out UVB rays that would otherwise burn through the superficial layers of your skin.
DRMTLGY also mentions their pricing affordability, stating that they were able to find space in the competitive market enough to “cut out the middleman” and provide directly to their consumers. While their competitors charge double, maybe even triple the price, they are able to price their products at significantly less.
BACK TO THE TINTED MOISTURIZER:
This antioxidant-rich SPF 46 is formulated to match ALL skin tones for a glowy, natural complexion without the heaviness of foundation. I love products that highlight my skin, rather than completely cover it, so this is perfect for me! PLUS, we no longer have to choose between makeup and sunscreen in fear of waking up tomorrow with a face full of imperfections. Who would have thought this day would come?!
Benefits
- Moisturizes and provides sheer color coverage
- SPF 46
- Works for all skin tones
Ingredient Highlights
Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Octinoxate, Knotweed Extract
Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide 12%, Octinoxate 7.5%
A break-through in skincare occurred when you could receive moisturizer, blemish coverage, and sun protection all in one squirt! With Zinc Oxide, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Knotweed Extract, this product nourishes your skin with hydration and nutrients. Plus, with UVA and UVB protection, this moisturizer will guard your skin against premature skin aging and fine lines (and skin cancer cells, eeek).
Universal Tinted Moisturizer Review:
As someone with sensitive skin, I’ve always dreaded applying sunscreen, especially underneath makeup because I knew it would be a mess the next day! I was so happy that this moisturizer doesn’t leave me with that oily residue on your skin that most sunscreens do!! As I pictured below, you can see how the product subtly covers discoloration in my face, giving it a primed look. It also helped me look much more awake than I was really feeling! I was also SO impressed with how on point the product mimicked my own skin tone. Definitely universal. (I even noticed it doesn’t discolor the inside of my mask). Love love LOVE.
HERE’S WHY I LOVE THE TINTED MOISTURIZER:
Most of DRMTLGY’s products are completely free of both parabens and sulfates. Parabens and sulfates are known irritants for the skin and can prolong/worsen some skin conditions. They are harsh on the skin, so it is great to find products that are free of them!
The Tinted Moisturizer pairs SO well with the Neutralizing Toner! Using the toner will enhance your skin's natural ability to retain moisture, so it’s perfect to use before the moisturizer.
The Tinted Moisturizer is potent in hyaluronic-acid which keeps your skin hydrated and plump.
DRMTLGY also has a great rewards program!
