This chemical sunscreen is, hands down, a great sunscreen. The packaging, the aesthetic, the ingredients, and the application are *chef kiss*. It's incredibly easy to spread it on the skin, and it passed the 1/4 teaspoon test! There is no white cast, however it does help to brighten the skin. It claims to contain 65 percent moisture, giving the skin a dewy appearance. It also claims to be reef-safe sunscreen, but I'm not sure how accurate that claim is. Apart from that, it doesn't irritate the eyes or cause the burning feeling that some sunscreens do. I'm unconcerned with the scent.

🍁It may took a while to spread it evenly all over the face as at first you may see a temporary uneven tone up effect but be patient and just keep massaging 😄 
🍁There are days that my eyes get watery when I use this, especially if I rub my eyes. But if I don’t touch my eye area, its fine. 

Rate: 4.5&#47;5. The minus 0.5 because sometimes my eyes get watery because of it 😅

Scent: Like a subtle carbonated lemon drink scent, I love it I find the scent is calming 😍

Texture: Creamy paste but not thick at all (despite the appearance), easy to spread although it took a while to massage on skin (about 2 minute) especially on side of the nose and smile lines but I dont mind. Non- greasy, non-sticky at all. 

How I use it: 2-finger application and massage until all blends well on skin. 

Review: 
✨It has slight tone up at first, then it dries down to velvety non-sticky finish and after awhile skin will be like usual skin tone
✨My skin feels good using this, its not making me sweaty, and it really is suitable for Malaysia  weather
✨I tried skipping moisturiser and use this sunscreen and I’m happy to report my skin still felt normal after 3-5 hours. I guess the moisturising properties are working from within
✨Because its waterproof I double cleanse with cleansing oil, but I also test it with the Dr Althea Amino Acid Bubble cleanser and it can remove this sunscreen well too

All in all, I think its a worth to try physical sunscreen especially if you cannot tolerate chemical UV filters and hyaluronic acid, this product is HA free

This sunscreen has a light creamy consistency that absorbs very well leaving a light white film but fades quickly although it leaves a faint &quot;Tone Up&quot; finish very common in a physical sunscreen. It does not leave a greasy trace and leave a  discreet shine on the skin, it even has a semi-matte finish that I really like. It doesn&#39;t feel heavy and it&#39;s hydrating, My recommendation is to use the right amount and not overdo it. It didn&#39;t clog my pores or irritate my eyes.

The only problem I have with this is the fragrance. It has that ‘sunscreen smell’ that I’m not a fan of, but it’s not strong so it’s not really a big deal. Overall it’s still a really good sunscreen ☺️

4.5&#47;5 

🧪𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔: ✨Contains fragrance
Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (Physical Sunscreen)

💦 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: This has a creamy texture that spreads out easily. It feels pretty heavy and leaves a white cast at first, but once it’s absorbed it leaves a lightweight, neutral finish. There’s still a slight white cast but i heard that’s a common downside for physical sunscreen (correct me if im wrong!). 

💭 𝒯𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈: Ngl I did not have high expectations for this and I am pleasantly surprised! Similar to the 345NA cream, both of these does not leave my face greasy throughout the day 💙 I find it funny that this physical sunscreen is more lightweight than the chemical sunscreens that I currently own. I thought physical sunscreens are supposedly heavier because it leaves a film on the face (Again, correct me if I’m wrong). This sunscreen is pretty hydrating itself so i do skip the moisturiser in my routine. It did not clog my pores, and I find that it’s removable with a cream cleanser. 

💸 𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆: Probably 😗

🔥 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔: All skin types except those who are sensitive&#47;dislike fragrance.
