Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This serum holds its color and glow throughout the day without fading, and blends seamlessly for a no-makeup makeup finish that doesn't feel heavy. The formula pairs hydrating actives like squalane, aloe vera, and vitamin C to soften skin and smooth texture while the tint evens redness and adds warmth. Those after true tinted skincare rather than lightweight foundation may find this approach refreshingly simple.

    "Love these both. Super complimentary and this just does the trick for a nice minimalist makeup look with absolutely no creasing in the under eye area or the crows feet area. Lasts all day long. The end of the day, I'm so shocked that these two are still there. They don't wear the way I expected them to for a skin tint. I expected them to be gone by midday or at least showing a lot of breakthrough. But Typology for me lasts a good 6 to 8 hours and still looks fresh by the end of the day."

    "I gave it a five out of five. This was still there. At the end of the day, I couldn't believe it. I don't know if it's a factor that I did some extra moisturizing steps in my skincare routine, but it looked just as beautiful midday as it did at the end of the day. Super shocked. Absolutely love this new find."

    "I'm actually using a tinted serum, so not even a foundation, not even a skin tint. It's just a serum that has some color. This is a one from Typology, my favorite one to use."

This is the one. This is tinted skincare. So it contains incredible skincare ingredients that in turn make the skin look amazing. You have Vitamin C, which is going to brighten."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
