So I am fair skinned, but could not for the life of me find a sunscreen (in my budget) that didn’t leave that white cast film on my face. I always looked purple or more red! Until, thank you Instagram, your ad came across and I knew instantly I’d love it. I bought right away and waited by the door like a puppy for it to come! Applied it and went to the beach and will never look back. Went on so smoothly, didn’t leave any white cast, I felt protected all morning and the brightening vitamin c is such a plus! Seriously telling all my friends about this amazing product.

Love this

It’s moisturizing and not to oily which I absolutely love !

When I tell you this product is golden it is Golden. My face is forever happy. Thank you for this.

Love this SPF! It’s light weight and doesn’t have that “sunscreen” smell like some other sub screens. It also doesn’t disturb my makeup. Because it is a spf/moisturizer I do use an additional moisturizer on my dry days but most times I just cleanse, tone, and apply this product. Definitely going to repurchase.

I had high hopes for sunscreen moisture but should have known my sensitive skin would not have none of it. I broke out in a rash on my face that took over a week to go away.

When the products are so awesome, they get a shelf all to themselves! I cannot say enough about how amazing these products have been for my skin. The Brightening Moisturizer is perfect for my combination skin. The SPF factor is a definite bonus. Bolden skincare will always be a staple in my medicine cabinet!

This is the best!

The product is really good my only problem is the shipment fee it’s too expensive and the important tax is expensive too i don’t know what to do

Your products are very good.

I really love the feel of my skin now that l am using this product

No white cast a plus!! It absorbs quickly into the skin as well.

Absolutely LOVE this moisturizer. It really is for all skin types. I almost didn't buy it because I saw so many reviews from people with dry skin saying it was great for them and I have combination skin so I thought it wouldn't be a match for me. I ended up buying it anyways and it is my favorite now! It is the perfect light weight formula and smells amazing. It is also great for oily skin because my mom loves it and she has very oily skin.

Ehh used this with the entire line for over 2 months consistently and see no difference in my skin. Save your money.

I have only been using this for a few weeks now but I love it. The consistency is wonderful and the smell is light and fragrant. My skin feels soft, protected and nourished which is really what makes it a keeper. Kaye B.

It's my first time using SPF for bad face and in very impressed with how well it rubs out and doesn't leave me with a white cast.

This product glides over my skin and delivers much needed nourishment. My skin has a glow. I love the fact this product has the much needed SPF. My morning “go/to”. It’s a must have.

Very moisturizing. Leaves my face with a glow after use. I only use 2 to 3 squirts with each use.

It feels soft and silky on my skin, and I look forward to seeing my skin improve along the way!. I told them my order delivery was slow but then they sent me another 2 moisturizer for free! I commend them for their great customer service! I look forward to shopping from here more in the future!

I absolutely love this sunscreen because it doesn’t smell like the sunscreen I typically use when going to the beach. It’s also very moisturizing and light.

My skin feels great and I look good!

This is my second time using this moisturizer and i like it soo much

I really like it. Doesn't leave white cast, no odd smells. My skin feels good after I apply it.

Love it. My skin looks even and smooth.

I love these products! I am primarily excited to find a black woman owned company creating products for black women. I will buy again and again. Thank you!

My face has been loving these products. I have found my staple skin care now. Love Bolden

Great moisturizer for my oily skin. Doesn’t leave a residue at all. A little goes a long way.

Love this product! It is great for make up removal and the moisturizer is perfect for this kind of year, not too greasy or heavy. I am making this a permanent part of my beauty routine.

I saw immediate brightening effect and it’s very hydrating the only sad part is because I have an acne brine skin it break me out.

Great coverage - moisturizing - lightly scented. It hasn't broken out my skin like other SPFs do. Really enjoying this product!

Purchased this product based on reviews from YouTube. After trying it myself, I found that this was not the skincare line for me. I didn't see ANY changes in my skin and after 2 weeks it caused pimples to develop on my face, which is something I have never dealt with, even as a child. Needless to say I will not be making another purchase.

Nice and light moisturizer.

Loving it!

Super moisturizing and great that it has spf

Amazing!!! Best sunscreen moisturizer I’ve used. Definitely buying another one when I run out!

I really liked the product. It was a good moisturizer but still a bit light, so days that my skin was flaking I had to layer it with another moisturizer. On a good day, I could use it alone. Also, it left me glowing without looking greasy and of course there is absolutely no white cast, which is great for brown skin. The only issue I had with the moisturizer/sunscreen is that it only lasted about 4 months. There is still plenty of product left in my tube, but about 4 months in the product formula started to separate. I would pump the product out and it would be nothing but a clear liquid, like oil, and then a few blobs of the white part of the product. If you are able to improve shelf life, I would be able to give this product 5 stars, because I love everything else about it.

Unfortunately their sunscreen broke me out horribly. It also made my skin very greasy. I will not be purchasing this again

Gives my skin a glow

it's real light and smooth. I have very sensitive acne prone skin. This hasn't broken me out, no little fine bumps. Love it.

Amazing product.

My face feels wonderful.

I love how my skin feels after I apply the SPF Brightening Moisturizer! It not only moisturize but it repels all weather conditions!

I really love this moisturizer because it has spf and it is light but moisturizing. I have very dry skin so I really like the consistency and texture. When I use it with the toner, it is a double one-two punch. These are great products.

I Absolutely love this product. My skin is fresh it is brighter it is clearer. I feel like I don’t need make up and if I do wear make up it goes on a lot smoother. I am so so so happy with my purchase that I recommend this to all colored girls around the world. Thank you bolden

So far so good! I’m really enjoying the moisturizer.

Works

I tried, just can’t get rid of these stubborn blemishes!! Maybe I chose the wrong items.. IDK..

It was introduced to me by my sister in law base on my skin type I have always had issue with other products, make me look darker than I am but I am loving my new bolden sun protector, it’s just perfect

I'm a black woman with dark skin that I would describe as normal to dry. This moisturizer keeps my face perfectly hydrated and really does brighten my face and make it glow, and usually doesn't look greasy. I really love the way my skin looks using this. However, my main issue with this product is that it pills/balls up on your face. I've tried using it both with my serum and without and if you rub it in it will start pilling up which makes your face look dirty. Two solutions that have worked: only patting the product in with my finger tips but if i so much as rub it or graze my fingers over any part even a few hours later, the pilling starts. The better solution was to spray my face with rose water toner prior to applying. I read somewhere that this is common for some SPF products and the rosewater helps your skin absorb it better. I've had no pilling since then but the extra step is annoying. The second issue I have with this product is that lately it's started separating into a yellowish liquid and chunks of the white lotion. Customer service said it's due to extreme temperatures but i mostly keep this in my bedroom all day. This only started about 2 months after purchasing so it's possible the product is just reaching it's end but it's wasteful and makes application greasy. I can't tell if i'm getting the spf benefits when it separates. Honestly, I could deal with the pilling once I found the solution but the separation is not worth it and I'll probably be looking for a new product.

This would be great for someone with dry skin. It was just a little too oily for my Combination/Oily skin. And I only use a pea size amount. My husband always thinks I'm sweating when I wear this. But I like that it has SPF and eliminates that extra step. Plus, it does not break me out.

This is amazing! I have used this moisturizer for three weeks and can see an incredible change in my hyperpigmentation.

Great formula, not ashy or excessively heavy and it helps to reduce my hyperpigmentation

This is wonderful! I’m a customer for life

I loved it in the beginning but not it has separated. It seems like only ‘oil’ is coming out and well of course I look oily. I’m disappointed

I love this moisturizer! A little of this product goes a long way. With that being said, I noticed some instability issues. It took me a while to get through the product, and before I could it started to separate and was no longer homogenous. I’m definitely going to purchase again because I’ve not found another that works well with my skin but I would recommend working on ways to extend its shelf-life. If you need a formulation scientist, feel free to contact me :)

Great moisturizer. Unfortunately, the SPF makes my face look shiny/greasy. I have yet to find a SPF product that doesn't react the same way with my skin so I guess it's just my luck.

I use the Brightening Moisturizer as a sunscreen. It does not leave a white cast on my face, is not shiny or oily. I noticed that blemishes from pimples faded quickly once I started using the cream. It also does not sting my eyes when I perspire, which is a plus. It is expensive compared to other products, but I only apply a pea size amount to my face so it is cost effective. It feels as though there is a light coating on my skin but I do not wear makeup, so to a makeup wearer it may have the feeling of a foundation product. I will purchase it again.

I love the way Bolden's skincare products have helped to heal my skin.

I have acne-prone skin and usually very sensitive to products containing SPF however this product hasn't broken out my skin, my dark scars are fading. I use this cream daily especially on my "no make up" days and it gives a slight glow to the skin. I definitely highly recommend this product.

I have extremely oily skin and this product makes it more evident. I do love the fact that none of these products caused any outbreaks on my sensitive skin. I will never use any other skin care line because this one is the best one I've found. I just don't like the greasiness of the sunscreen.

It was great. Saw improvements in about a month! Definitely buying again!

When I first started using it the moisturizer was fine. I don’t know if my skin went through a change but now it doesn’t work for me as well as I’d like. It has made my face itchy especially around the cheeks. Upset I’m stuck with an expensive product I can’t use

I am glad I found this product, it brightens my skin and leaves it looking radiant without the ashy look that most SPF products do.

Light and pleasant scented formula. Blends on well without white residue which I love.

My skin certainly felt moisturized and I didn’t get any sunburn. It was really easy to run in and there were no annoying white streaks or residue which was great. I’m just not in love with how greasy it made my forehead feel.

I see a big improvement in my skin. Someone nicely told me that it was too hot for make up, to which I agreed. "You don't have on any"? No mam, straight skin

I love the smell and how nice it feel putting it on your face. And it also adds a glow to your skin.

Does what it says. Doesn't leave a white cast. Like the pump, controls the dispense. Wish it came in a bigger size.

Love the SPF Brightening Moisturizer. I pair this with a minute drop of Grapeseed Oil that adds a nice glow w/o being shiny and no chalky buildup.

Very lightweight, does not smear, cause acne, or leave residue like a lot of sunblocks do. Easy to wear even under makeup.

I absolutely love the sunscreen product. My face has hyper pigmentation. This product is what I need to protect my face from this North Carolina sun which is extreme in the summer months. I hope by summers end my face will be more even toned.

I do like this product and would’ve given it all stars ⭐️or “love it” but for the texture of it. It’s a little too thick for me , but not in a bad way where most ppl would think so, because there’s several other products that have this texture. It doesn’t feel thick on the face, just in texture. However, a little goes a long way too!! Overall and more importantly, I love the results from using it so far. I’ve used it for maybe three weeks and it has given me a glow if you will, that I’ve never had with other products. I noticed it the second day of using it!! Not only that, My 17yo daughter also noticed. She said, “your skin looks good today”. I’d noticed it myself that day, so when she said it, i knew I wasn’t just “imagining” that I was glowing. Also, I’ve applied makeup over it as well, and it doesn’t interfere with the makeup. In fact, it makes my makeup look better! So, I’ll end with saying that I would definitely recommend this product for black women (I’m speaking as a black woman), because of the spf30, the glow that brightens your natural skin, and lastly, to support a black owned company that provides great customer service, and a product that delivers what it claims!! Thank you, Jackie

Love this product but got a bad pump in the bottle so it doesn't come out very well.

A bit oily and the perfume is too strong. However, the fact that it doesn’t leave my skin ashy allows me to overlook these issues. If this could be resolved this would be a perfect product.

Lightweight formula leaves my skin looking and feeling smooth and radiant

Knowing about Bolden fell into my lap like fate. I found out about through Watching youtube and i was sold. I was very reluctant to purchase a spf30 sunscreen scaree that id be ashy&greasy. But that is not the case with Bolden's sunscreen. I make sure to put it on each day i go out in this hot atlanta sun to ensure the skin on my face dont get any darker then the rest of my body. It has worked very well and i can say i would surely purchase again.

It broke me out alot

Okay I will be completely honest to say that the shipping on these products took forever, but was it worth the wait? I can say yes. Few breakout , but my skin has been glowing since I’ve been using the cleanser and spf

Awesome smell!

I’m currently enjoying the SPF 30 moisturizer. At first I was hesitant to try the moisturizer because it does have SPF, and I learned my lesson in the past that SPF with moisturizer tends to break me out. However I thought to myself to give Bolden a try because it’s For Us, By Us. I’m glad I did give bolden a chance. My skin is glowing!!! I will be buying more products in the future.

The only thing I didn't like was how strong the scent of the SPF was.I am not a fan of such a strong scent, especially not something going on my face daily.

No white residue or weird sheen on my brown skin .

I had struggled with adult acne for years. Now that I have been using Bolden for about a year now. I have not experienced random out breaks like before, and my skin feels so good. I highly recommend this company to everyone I know with similar skin to mine. Plus the company itself has upheld a high level of customer satisfaction for me. (I did not receive my original shipment and Bolden made sure I received my replacement package. I am truly grateful that Bolden is a trustworthy vendor.) I appreciate your candor as a company, and the quality of your products.

I love how sheer this moisturizer is.

I won’t buy again

Unfortunately, the product isn't beneficial for oily skin. I have breakouts all along my cheeks and forehead. I really wanted this product to work. The consistency is quite nice and the smell is alright. Really sad this product didn't work for my skin.

I wanted to like this product particularly because it has some brightening aspect. However, I found this product hard to use because 1-2 pumps left my skin feeling tight. But 3 pumps left my skin looking greasy, especially my forehead. But generally, moisturizers that contain SPF tend to leave my skin looking too shiny, so I don't think it was this product specifically. I'll keep experimenting with it, but I will likely stick to using a separate SPF.

I love this moisturizer! It is not heavy or oily, and even though it has SPF protection (which was the main selling point for me) it does not leave a white cast/build up on my face like other face sunscreens. It absorbs wonderfully into my skin and feels like I have nothing on, but my skin is very smooth and soft. Great product!

I have been using this moisturizer for a week now and I love it. Lightweight, but effective. Didn't irritate my eyes although it has sunscreen in it .

My skin had cleared up in a matter of weeks of using the trial size Clarifying Cleanser and Brightening Moisturizer. I will be purchasing the full size bottle of Cleanser soon.

I watched Evelyn on the Internets' review of it, and that's why I chose to buy this particular moisturizer and sunscreen. It rubs in perfectly, and I don't feel it heavy on my face. I can also feel how much more moisturized my skin feels, and it feels like my face is protected from the dry winds all day. I really enjoy this product!

It does it's job as an SPF and is moisturizing. I have oily skin and tend to have to blot during the summer but my skin didn't get shiny with this! Also, now that it's winter while my skin doesn't get dry, I find that when I layer the Vanilla oil under this, my skin is perfectly moisturized!

I was surprised that it was a pump product. That’s a first for me. When I saw how little came out, I had thoughts how to ration it until I could buy more. The pump is a hit or miss. When it works it’s great. When it doesn’t, unscrewing the cap to get access is a non starter. The product itself is phenomenal. I do not have a white cast on my face or purple undertones. I can put on sunscreen in my mirror and smile afterwards. That’s huge for me.

I really love this moisturizer! I've tried a countless amount of moisturizers for my dry skin, and I'm very happy with this one. With past moisturizers, I usually sweat them off, but that is not the case with this one. This one is lightweight and I feel like my whole face is moisturized. I don't sweat it off and that is a huge plus! Also I like that you don't have to use a huge amount of this moisturizer to achieve complete coverage. A little goes a long way with this product. So happy with this product, especially with it being from a Black-owned business. I will be a returning customer!

I absolutely love this line and it is all I use.

The pump makes it difficult to use so I don’t like using it.

I purchased this item for vacation to protect my skin. it was easy to use and very moisturizing however, i did find the formula to be stickier than i usually like.

I only started using this and I've stared to see results. I love the way it keeps my face feeling velvety. I've purchased the whole regime. I'm hoping it would be a pleasant experience

Finally, a sunscreen that doesn't leave a white chalky look to my skin. Thank you.
