Habit Skin earns mixed reviews: the ultra-fine SPF mists make reapplication effortless and pleasant—especially over makeup—with refreshing scents like Cucumber, White Peach, and SKUs No.38/39/41, yet multiple reviews report oily, sticky residue, eye stinging, and occasional leaky sprayers. The brand works for quick touch-ups and everyday carry, but coverage confidence and finish polarize users, particularly those with oily skin seeking a matte effect.

Have been using Habit for some time now, started with 41 & currently using 39. it has a lovely scent, easy to apply & reapply throughout the day. Great to use while wearing makeup. I have combination skin that leans more on the dryer side so for me personally it does not make my skin oily. Love that it’s a spray bottle so i don’t have to use my hands directly on my face to apply it & can easily carry it around.

Have used all 3 of their misters and love them! They make reapplying sunscreen -- something I used to always forget -- super easy. Always keep one in my car and one in my purse and it makes it super easy to re-apply sunscreen over makeup and on the go.

This is a convenient sunscreen that doesn't feel like sunscreen and is easy to use. Discovered this sunscreen at Sephora and it's been my go-to.

I wish they offered a matte finish.

Warning, this SEVERELY irritated the skin around my eyes, swollen and burning. Habit's customer service dismissed my concerns, refused a return, and didn't even bother to offer a coupon, even though it was within the specified 30 day window; and then they delayed further dismissive/repetitive communication until 30 days had indeed lapsed. It's so messed up to formulate a product for the face that has the potential for severe eye area irritation. They also immediately deleted my feedback that I posted on their Instagram. Avoid this brand, their customer service is as bad as their product and they actively suppress honest negative feedback.
Feedback
Product formulation is terrible - very oily and caused severe burning pain in my eye area for hours. Customer service is horrible - dismissive and offered nothing to compensate me for what happened, not even the slightest gesture, and told me repeatedly that 30 calendar days from receipt of the product had elapsed before it had.

I absolutely love this stuff but how do you keep it from going into your eyes after awhile? It BURNS

Great product that has become a year round staple in my bag! Love it!

I bought this because I was excited that it was in a light, mist spray form! However... I was constantly afraid that I wasn't getting enough coverage + when I sprayed it felt super oily and slippery, that I had to pat it down and rub it in afterward in order for it not to leave a sheen. Instead of my face, I started using it on my body (the back of my neck + arms) because I felt my face needed an additional, spreadable protection layer.
Feedback
The formula is a bit too oily and strong scented for my personal taste and the applicator slightly leaked from time to time.
I got this because it seemed like a great way to put on sunscreen over makeup and reapply throughout the day. It is very easy to use and reapply but it is sticky, and stings my eyes every time. I hate touching my face afterward and have to blot my eyes to deal with the tears from the stinging.
Feedback
A version that is less sticky to the touch and/or doesn't sting would have me using this again.
Smells great! It works best as a quick touch up and I keep it in my car. I'm not sure I trust this to be enough coverage if I were to go on a hike or am going to be out in the direct sun for a long time. For sunscreen - I would only purchase if I felt like I could trust the coverage
Feedback
The spray sometimes leaks and gets over my hands
I first ordered the original and really liked it, but the smell was not exactly what I was looking for. Then they came out with the cucumber one and I fell in love! It’s so refreshing. I want to try the newest white peach one next. It’s light and so easy to reapply. It makes reapplying sunblock so refreshing and not like a chore lol
Feedback
I can’t think of any feedback. I’m just hoping they keep coming out with new scents and maybe larger sizes?
I got this just in time to take it on a trip to rural, coastal Georgia. Like to use face-specific sunscreen on my face because some others have a tendency to run into my eyes and basically ruin my entire day with stinging until I can give my peepers a good flush. Prior to this I had a bottle of Soleil Toujours setting spray with SPF and I think this worked better in terms of sun protection (the ST also has something astringent in it that would sometimes sting). This has an odor that, to me, smelled somewhat herbal. I like it, but it may not to be everyone's taste. It also has a definite oiliness on the face. Some may say it's dewy, but for others maybe too much. I have naturally oily skin and it was right on the line for me. On the beach I didn't care and I wasn't wearing makeup. I've used it prior to putting on makeup in the morning and think it makes everything slide into place nicely, but I wouldn't reapply over makeup for that reason. Overall I liked it and will buy it again, but I'll need to see how it fits into my non-vacation life.
Feedback
The spray seems anemic sometimes. Hard to tell how much is coming out and how much you're using.

This formula is definitely not for my oily skin. I did my make and forgot my regular sunscreen and sprayed this over it. I know that it was going to be oily but unwanted to give it one more try but no…it’s way too oily and can sting.

habit's misters are the only reason I've actually started to reapply sunscreen throughout the day (almost every 2 hours lol). they're perfect size for carrying and love the sleek look!!!

Habit is my all time favorite sunscreen for post-makeup and mid-day application!!! The scents are heavenly.

I really like HABIT! It keeps my skin soft, and it is very easy to apply, you just have to close your eyes and wait a few seconds to prevent the product from getting in, my favorite is N°38 and N°41! I love being able to apply sunscreen without touching my face, especially when I'm outside.

The idea of spritzing your face sound easy and effective however for me it was a disaster. This product (no39) stung my eyes terribly. I had to remove all of my makeup; wash my face and start over. When I contracted the company I was told if it had been opened it was not returnable. Well how are you to know if it is going to burn your eyes if you don’t open it??? That being said it was a huge waste of money for me!

i was super excited about this mist sunscreen but it’s super oily and got all in my eyes after being outside with it on. not worth the buy, 2/10

I really wanted to like their facial sunscreen spray. The idea of a sunscreen that I could easily reapply and put on over my makeup is a dream. I also saw a lot of good reviews of this product (on their website so duh they'll only post good reviews), and was super excited to use it. I was so disappointed when I used it for the first week. It was incredibly oily and left my face feeling super slick (and also shiny). When I bought the sunscreen, I thought it would have more of a hydrating effect, or at least absorb into my skin. But it just sat on top and gave me an oily look. It also stung my eyes (I obviously closed my eyes when I sprayed and kept them shut for an additional 10 seconds after my last spray as directed on the bottle) and made them water like crazy for the rest of the day after I had it on. I noticed the spray got everywhere on my desk and anything within a 1 foot radius because the mist is so light and travels easily. If I left my glasses or my phone in near me when I sprayed they would have a film of the oily sunscreen on them. It is also more scented than I prefer (not much of a con, but if you are sensitive to smell this is definitely not the product for you). I'm not one to waste money or product so I tried to finish the spray even though I really didn't like it, but after using half the bottle I could not stand it anymore and just threw it out. I didn't even bother saving it to use on my arms and body because I could not stand how oily it is. Additionally, after thinking about it, I really can't trust a spray to give me substantial protection from the sun. There are a lot of other SPFs that build well and lay on top of makeup well, and this product just isn't it.
Feedback
If they can change the formula to be more mattifying and sting your eyes less, then this would be a much better product. I'm not one to leave negative reviews because it's not usually worth the time, but I genuinely disliked this product so much and did not see enough reviews that detailed how oily it is or how easily it can sting your eyes.
