The only good thing about this sunscreen is the packaging. The package insert even says that you need 6 pumps for adequate protection. Therefore itโs quite easy to get the right amount. Also, I do like the fact that itโs a broad-spectrum sunscreen with modern chemical UV filters. However, you CANNOT wear this sunscreen without any foundation over it. At least it performs quite decent when applied before make-up. For me, I can only say that I will never ever repurchase this sunscreen.

1) Itโs waaay too orange for my skin. There are no other tinted versions with other skin tones, which is absolutely non-inclusive. A minute of silence for all the people of colourโฆ
2) It burns upon application (luckily, the burning sensation does fade after a few minutes). I have never had this problem with a sunscreen before, itโs horrible. And then thereโs the company claiming their SPF is โsuitable for sensitive skin typesโ. Uhm, nope?
3) It has a horrid smell. โAlthough it contains fragrance?!โ you wonder? Yes, I donโt get it either.
BTW: For a product swatch, please watch the video! :) โค๏ธ
My conclusion? I hate this sunscreen. Would never repurchase or recommend it to anybody. If you are searching for a holy grail sunscreen, this one is clearly not it.
