Just started using this sunscreen with the Super Tinted Hydrator and love it - a little goes a long way but living in South Florida I needed an spf and this goes on so smooth and doesn't affect the application of the tinted hydrator.

A must for skincare!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely love the Multimodal Defender Balm! In fact, I just ordered another one as I am running low. I like the consistency as my skin does not feel dried out and the fact that it is a mineral sunscreen is another plus but what really sends it for me is the double duty it does to fade and prevent sun spots.

My go-to all around skin care product.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This has become a go-to product for me! I just spent a month snorkeling and diving in the South Pacific -- this product gave me reef-safe sun protection and great skin care in one jar. It kept my travel bag simple and my skin care on point.

.Workable balm
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Workable product. You have to get used to the product and application, that’s the reason for 4 stars not 5. It definitely is a balm, you have to work the balm in your hands to melt before applying to face. It does give a moisturized glow. I have dry skin so perfect addition. It does not however work well with foundation . I don’t wear foundation daily so not a game changer for me. I can’t say it lightened yet, still in the first month.

Great SPF

I love this SPF! Knowing that it’s correcting, not just preventing, sun damage really helps me stay consistent. And the product itself is easy to blend and feels and looks great on my skin.

takes some work
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
I like it, but it requires some work, it cannot be wear alone, you have to use a tint on top of it, also, it does take some time to fully absorb, once that happens it does look ok.

This balm is magic....
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This balm is magic. I love it so much, I use it at night for extra moisture and to lock in my skin care. I use it in the day time for spf and over the super hydrator. I will say you do have to work it into the skin, and it really is a balm so allow it to melt on your fingers and tap into skin. I love the experience of this rich moisturizer and it has so many benefits- I do only use one pump of super hydrator instead of my usual two and a half pumps when I am applying this on top.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
One of my favorite products by U Beauty. It’s easiest to apply over moisturized skin; be It, super hydrator, or the facial oil. I take a a small amount on the metal spoon provided, place on my skin, let It sit a minute to warm on my face, then gently rub in. I like this better than warming between my fingers. Just my personal preference. Leaves a nice glossy, dewy, finish. I believe in technically “unscented,” but has a lovely slight scent that I am addicted to. I use It AM/PM. It has helped lighten darker areas. Especially the upper lip area.! Yes, it’s very pricy, but It does last a while. And if you are looking to glow, this is your friend

Good skincare with SPF!
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I love the idea of skincare and spf combined. I’ve only been using it a few weeks and my skin is looking brighter. The only thing is that as the day goes on, due to its heavier balmy texture, my face feels a bit greasy. Nothing some blotting linens can’t fix.

Response from U Beauty:
We recommend to try using a bit less! The wonderful thing about the Multimodal Defender is that a little goes a long way. Try using a smaller amount and rubbing it between your fingers prior to applying it to your face.
Good coverage, moisturizing
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This sunscreen is thick upon application, but it then melts and does a great job with sun coverage and keeping my face moist.

What an amazing SPF! But, it’s so much more. A fantastic primer that makes my skin tone even, and creates a perfect canvas for makeup. Or the perfect base for a no makeup day.
