What the gurus are saying

This illuminating sunscreen earns praise for its glowing, reflective finish on skin. However, dermatologists flag a significant concern: the formula contains citrus peel oils, which can be photosensitizing and potentially irritating, particularly for those with rosacea or sensitive skin. The new version does include snail filtrate, a soothing humectant shown to support skin healing, but experts suggest people with sensitive or reactive skin may want to patch-test first or consider alternatives.

"This is the illumination formulation which will give more of that luminosity, more of that glow, that reflectant to the skin. Yes, there is a little bit of a shimmer in the formula but I promise you, you're not super sparkly. It's just when that sun hits your skin it reflects and adds more of that glow to the skin, which I really love. These have an SPF 50 and contain titanium dioxide of 9% and zinc oxide of 6.3%."

"I love the IT Cosmetics CC cream, you guys know that I have been using this and talking about this since day one of my channel and even before I started my YouTube channel I was still using the IT Cosmetics CC cream and I can't stop using it. This is the illumination formula which has like that micro glitter in it. It's nothing crazy like you don't look sparkly but it just gives this beautiful glow to the skin."

"I've heard from a lot of you that these CC creams from IT Cosmetics end up aggravating rosacea and sensitive skin, so I say skip these. This new version does have snail filtrate in it, which [...] in my opinion is a good ingredient, rich in humectants and shown to be beneficial for healing radiation dermatitis, but I'd still skip this one."
