I use the hydrating sunscreen and i really like it! I've tried other brands and noticed they dried me out so badly, and so I continue to come back to UV. It's a bit pricey, but it feels worth it for the value it adds to my routine.
The dispenser is a bit awkward to use and takes some time to get used to it. I also wish it was slightly cheaper.
I bought the daydream screen tinted veil when it seemed my usual tinted suncream was running out. I liked that it’s an Aussie product with a high SPF and a wide range of tints available for different skin tones.
I really wanted to like this product but I just haven’t been able to get on board with it unless I use a matte powder after application. It is shiny! And not in a glowy way but rather a greasy way. It also leaves a slight grey cast on my skin which is less than ideal. I’ll use up the bottle but I cannot see myself purchasing the tinted veil again. I may try the skin screen at some point.
I decided on what products to buy through Ultra Violette's quiz on their website, where it suggests products that would be a good fit for your skin type and routine. I landed on the Daydream Screen (a skin tint with SPF 50) which I use instead of foundation, it has a lovely colour to it and which gives the dewiest finish. I also purchased the Supreme Screen (a moisturiser/ primer with SPF 50) which is the perfect base for everyday. Both products are super light and dewy and I absolutely love them. Next on my wishlist is their Extreme Screen Body Moisturiser, I've heard it's super light weight and has a lovely shimmer in it! This brand is absolutely perfection and I am definitely now a loyal customer.
I would love if the packaging included something that you can pump the product into to tell you how much you should be using. A subscription service would be useful as you go through the product very quickly if you use the recommended amount! OMG and they need to come out with a spray SPF for reapplication over makeup!
ultra violette's queen screen is very unique in that it's a sunscreen serum, which makes layering with makeup and other skincare products very easy. my favourite product from them though, is their lip balm, which is tinted and also contains spf in it. it's super hydrating without being sticky, and i find myself reaching for it constantly throughout the day.
their packaging is cute, but i often find there to be issues with their droppers- i struggle to get product out of them at times. there may also be a slight quality check issue as i've received products before with broken packaging (ex: a mini bottle that didn't screw closed properly)
