The package insert even says that you need 6 pumps for adequate protection. Therefore itโ€™s quite easy to get the right amount. Also, I do like the fact that itโ€™s 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.
product review negatives
๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž - ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐š๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ฌ 1) Itโ€™s 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 colourโ€ฆ 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, itโ€™s horrible. And then thereโ€™s the company claiming their SPF is โ€œsuitable for sensitive skin typesโ€. Uhm, nope? 3) It has a horrid smell. โ€œAlthough it contains fragrance?!โ€ you wonder? Yes, I donโ€™t get it either. BTW: For a product swatch, please watch the video! :) โค๏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.
