I have a very sensitive, combination-oily skin, and this sun cream doesn't break me out so this is a plus point!

It slides on the skin easily and does not leave a white case even in the eye area or around your mouth. It takes some time to fully absorb to your skin, I'd say 10 minutes. After that, you can still feel it sitting on your skin, but the feeling is still quite pleasant I'd say.

The water resistance game is strong. Tone up a little bit, not too much so it doesn't look fake, which I love! Gonna buy more if this run out.
