Fragrance is too strong and all the oils caused me to breakout.
Beauty&U Hikari Skin Essentials Ultrawhite Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ 13 ingredients
(oily-acne prone skin)
Overall, it is a solid sunscreen, but the scent became a big deal breaker for me. I am not that sensitive to fragrances in my products, but this one gave me a headache. The floral scent also lingers, and it took about 10 minutes before the scent toned down but was not completely gone. Unless they reduce this product's fragrance, I won't be repurchasing this sunscreen Show more
Im not one to get irritated with certain sunscreens. I tried this one out to see the hype and I get it, the tone up effect makes it seem like you don't need a base or tint, but this caused me a lot of irritation around the jaw area. Caused some breakouts and a lot of itchiness.
