I really struggle with sun creams as they can often make me look rather unwell if they have any white cast. I´m pleased to say this doesn´t, as you can see in the video below. Personally, I love the finish on this as it leaves my skin looking a little dewy and hydrated.
The Ordinary SPF 45 – New SPF Coming Soon!

Housed in a sleek white bottle with a pump, this new SPF serum is a joy to use. From the small amount I tested, I can already say it’s impressive: no white cast, no greasy residue, and best of all, zero irritation, even around my sensitive eye area. My skin felt comfortable and looked fresh, and I genuinely wish I had more of it to keep using. Obviously, everyone´s skin is different, and whilst I hope this works for you the way it works for me, realistically, it may not.
There is some bad news. Some countries will not be getting this new SPF due to regulations. These countries include; Australia, New Zealand, Canada, China, South Korea & Japan.

My little sample of The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45
The amount of product I actually had was about 20ml. I managed to make it last for about a week. Before anyone comes at me, yes, we should apply a lot more, but I was mainly indoors and wanted to test this over several days, layering it on top of other products, too. I love how it leaves my skin looking, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the full-size bottle.
