The original version without the tint has been my go-to sunscreen for many years, and I really love it as it doesn't leave a white cast at all and it works great with my acne prone skin.
This product is pretty much the same in terms of texture and performance, although the tint doesn't work amazing. During the first hour it has a good coverage that blurs out most of my dark spots, but after that, the tint starts to patch.I understand that my very oily skin might be the cause of the problem, but still, this shouldn't happen as the product is specifically marketed towards oily/acne-prone people.
And about the shades: There aren't really many options, just Medium and Light, both with strong orange undertones. Even the Light one feels dark on my skin, which has like a warm fair tone in winter but I'm not super pale. So I was really disappointed, and I cannot even imagine people with darker skin tones, who literally don't have the option.
