New formula has tone-up and I dont like it.
I had used 3 bottles of this in last couple of years. But the one I bought in 2023 has tone-up and it has quite sticky texture to touch. My skin is super oily and has yellow complexion, that's why I don't want tone-up. Overall, it is still a very good product.

Best Sunscreen
Provides ample skin protection and coverage, pleasantly melts into skin and leaves no stickiness and discomfort of something being on the face. Easily applied all over with watery gel texture. Pleasant smell that does not overwhelm and fades, with no irritiation. Also very affordable.

Not the best or the worst
It's a bit oily, though it dries down after 15-20 minutes. Kind of difficult to apply because its oily parts and white watery parts kind of gets separated as you try to apply it to everywhere. Its consistency has changed since I opened the bottle 3 months ago, even though I keep it in the fridge. It leaves a white cast and gets in my eyebrows and hairline. It didn't Show more

Not repurchased
It's okay but still too shiny for my already oily skin. Did not repurchase.
