Not horrible, not the best
I've used this sunscreen for a couple months now. The price is pretty good and I like the size, it's good for travel or bringing with you to reapply. I also like how it protects against both UVA and UVB. The reason I have it three stars is because I do notice a little pilling with it and it does make my face looks greasy for about 15-30 minutes after application(it does Show more
i liked it before i got into skincare but doesn’t mesh well with my routine at all. i struggle with redness/ very mild rosacea and immediately after putting this on today i watched my skin turn redder so not the best if you have that. i guess for regular no routine this isn’t the worst but i wouldn’t recommend this product to friends

For $13, it has its uses...
It has its pros and cons. Its thick and the matte finish can sometimes appear chalky. It layers well under powder foundation. For $13, I think it's worth it for particular scenarios.

(2) I wear it under my makeup when I am working from home and need to get on zoom calls. I don't Show more
