My experience with the Mac Lightful C Marine Bright Moisturizer:
I will not deny in the beginning the scent put me off completely. It’s strange that MAC chose to use a strong fragrance. Nonetheless, I tried it and after a while I got over the scent, now I don’t even notice it. It is opaque white and has a somewhat creamy silky lotion like texture that does not feel oily or thick. The finish is slightly semi-matte and it provides enough hydration for someone with normal to oily or combination skin. I do not think this would work well for someone with dry skin. It absorbs well into the skin and creates a great foundation base and helps my foundation last longer.
The SPF 30 is great for me as I do not need to use sunscreen with this as well, the less layers the better. UVA protection is provided by zinc oxide, if applied generously this will provide protection for your face and neck from skin damaging UV light. Not to mention besides the anti-aging sun protection, you’re also getting a good mix of antioxidants, including a form of vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside). The “Bright” part of the name describes this daytime moisturizer’s finish, which is thanks to the mineral pigments mica and titanium dioxide. The effect is cosmetic, but this instantly brightened my skin.

Overall thoughts:
This is an excellent lightweight daytime moisturizer with SPF. It gets bonus points for the broad spectrum sun protection. It hydrates the skin and leaves it looking radiant without any oiliness or heaviness. I love that this moisturizer does not turn my face into an oil slick by the afternoon. Paired with the cleanser, my skin has definitely brightened up over time with continued use. It has great ingredients as well as antioxidants not forgetting the pump style packaging keeps those light and air-sensitive antioxidants stable during use. I rate this 9/10, it it weren’t for the overpowering fragrance it has, it would have got the best rating. However this scent quickly dissipates and doesn’t bother me anymore but may be a problem if you have sensitive skin. It wears extremely well under my make up and with added SPF this is my go-to moisturizer.

Thank you for reading. You can before and after pictures of my skin in my previous post here. Let me know what you think of this moisturizer if you have it or tried it. Always get a sample first before purchasing, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Until the next review..

Stay weird 😛
