I am surprised by how matte this sunscreen makes my skin feels, this is by far the driest sunscreen I have ever used. I have dry skin to begin with so this sunscreen makes my skin feel extra dry. However, I also dislike the greasy residue other sunscreens leaves. My favorite part of this sunscreen is the tinted aspect, as mineral sunscreens are known to leave a white cast. The texture of this sunscreen is very mousse like but not too thick.
How i like to use this sunscreen is to apply a layer of a regular mineral sunscreen then apply another layer of this sunscreen which combats the greasy feeling and white cast of the regular mineral sunscreen and the dryness of this sunscreen. The combination of both sunscreens leaves the skin a matte finish without feeling too dry. This way, you will be sure to have applied an equal layer of sunscreen to protect the skin.

I wish i could apply this sunscreen on my face, however, I have developed an allergic reaction to this sunscreen on my face. This is a chemical sunscreen, so it does not leave a white cast, which I love and it leaves a minimal greasy residue but you can still feel a layer of sunscreen on the skin.
Although my face has an allergic reaction to chemical sunscreen, I use this sunscreen on the body. Although it claims to be lightweight and non- greasy, it will leave a tacky feeling on your skin. Overall, it is a decent chemical sunscreen.

A little disappointed with this product, Ombrelle have amazing chemical sunscreen products with the mexoryl technology that provides better UVA protection compared to other chemical sunscreens out there.
However, this mineral sunscreen only uses titanium dioxide as the sunscreen filter, which does not provide enough UVA protection compared to the other mineral sunscreen filter, zinc oxide. Despite of the lack of UVA filter, the sunscreen leaves an obvious white cast with a grainy texture. If you don't rub the sunscreen well enough into the skin, the grainy texture will show up. However, this product does have a minimal greasy feel to the skin for being a water resistant sunscreen.

I have tried so many different drugstore mineral sunscreens, and this is one of the best I have tried. I developed skin reactions to chemical and combination sunscreens which left me with limited options. Most of the mineral sunscreen leaves an obvious white cast on the face despite being light skin myself, which makes it hard not to leave the house without looking like a Geisha.
This sunscreen has a minimal white cast, it is barely noticeable compared to the other sunscreens. However the only downside to this sunscreen is that it leaves a greasy film on the face due to the waterproof feature. To combat this problem, I usually apply powder on my face to reduce the sticky feeling or apply a layer of Australian gold botanical mineral sunscreen tinted version which is drying on the skin when used alone. It is best to apply multiple layers of sunscreen as you need at least 5ml of sunscreen on your face and neck to reach the protection claims of the sunscreens.
I have recommended this product to my friends, and they also loved it and enjoyed the minimal white cast it provided.

I am in love with this moisturizer! I have been suffering from dry skin, especially during the winter time, my skin would flake and peel off. I've tried many different creams and moisturizers from k-beauty to western skin care products and this is the one I have found that works the best for me. Ever since I have discovered this moisturizer, I haven't had any flaky skin since.
This moisturizer is formulated with ceramides and and hyaluronic acid which are amazing ingredients for building skin barrier and hydration. Ceramides are naturally produced by the body to form the skin's barrier and protect the skin, the ceramides can stimulate the skin to produce more to further build on the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws water in to pump up the skin (this would be only effective if it is used along with an occlusive moisturizer).
I use this moisturizer after washing my face or out of shower, I would put a layer of the moisturizer on while my face is damp to lock in the moisture. The best part about this cream is that it will dry down and never feels greasy while still maintaining hydration, I have been using this cream for years and will continue to repurchase.
