Ahava - nicococoocoo review for Protecting Moisturizing Lotion SPF 50

But I knew I applied the SPF on my face, because the FRAGRANCE would not let me forget it LOL Because holy cannoli it is STRONG! I applied only two drops (probably equivalent to a thin layer that is the length of my index finger) and my senses were overwhelmed. I actually never left the house with this SPF on… I had to wash it off my face less than five minutes after applying because it was THAT strong 🥲 I tried to wait it out and give it a chance to see if it would disapear but I could not stand the smell! I did a cleansing balm, cleansing oil, AND a face wash with a medication scent that I hope would help neutralize it, but, alas, I could still smell it even after all of that AND applying a layer of my other - but fragrance-free - SPF. Because a good amount of SPF is highly recommended (i.e. 2-finger method or 1 teaspoon), I cannot imagine reapplying that amount every 2-3 hours. imagine putting on your perfume every 2-3 hours: some usually do a light spritz to “freshen” up, but we don’t “lightly spritz” SPF on your face! I also never return beauty/skincare products; I usually give it to my family, but I knew even they would not like this. So for the first time ever, I returned a skincare product (fortunately they have a 30-day money-back guarantee on items with 50% or more of the product remaining). Ugh I wish there was a fragrance-free option because the consistency was amazing and loved how it applied — i really wanted to give the actual lotion a chance! P.S. I did not take a pic of the product because I basically processed a return for it the following day!
