Bondi Sands…
I’ve tried many different sunscreens from this brand. Their SPF 30 Fragrance-free Sunscreen Lotion was too under-protective. Their SPF 50 Fragrance-free Face Sunscreen Lotion was too thick and gloopy yet was too uncomfortable to apply. But when I decided to switch to this product, it was the best decision of my life….

This product has excellent consistency yet the texture is unbelievably creamy. The application is comfortably and easy with NO creases! I haven’t gotten any sunburns ever since I turned to this product. It gives me extra protection! The colours aren’t faded + the packaging is TO DIE FOR - It even is compatible with young skin. I’m not sure what I’d be doing without this…
