a little pricey but worth the extra money

The Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence comes in a small metallic periwinkle cardboard box. The Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence is small enough to fit into a pocket or small purse which makes it really convenient to take with you on the go. The product itself is only 1.05 ounces and comes packaged in a rectangular pearl white squeeze tube with a twist off silver lid. The Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence is an easy to squeeze out off white pearly transparent liquid with the consistency of a facial serum. I just absolutely love the texture and transparency in the liquid because this means no embarrassing white residues. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 50+ and includes PA+++, the highest level of Protection Grade of UVA. The Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence is easy to apply and goes on smoothly with it's serum like consistency. It dries clear without any sticky residue or evident trace. The Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence has a nice gentle clean and light refreshing scent unlike that of a traditional American sunscreens and the scent dissipates quite quickly after application. All in all, I really like the Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence and will probably continue use it in the future.
