I love the fact that this day lotion has a SPF of 20. A major plus for me, The lotion has a subtle scent that will be gone before you know it. Again, there aren't any instructions on how much to use. I found this lotion to be quite rich so I use very little and it is enough. It moisturizes well. Another reason I use a little is because it does make me feel a little shiny. Nothing a little powder cannot fix though. I can't wait to see the brightening effects in a few weeks.
