No
I thought it was good for my skin since the ingredients have Niacinamide, but when i tried on it my skin the feeling is Silky and i was saying to myself that it's ok but in the morning I had a breakout like a small cyst then after a few days many are coming out on my skin face. The analysis of this website is really amazing. It's not Malassezia Safe, which tells me it's bad for the skin.
(Dry, dehydrated, aging, sensitive, rosacea. Climate with moderate humidity) I like this sunscreen. It has a pleasant consistency of a nourishing lotion, dries down within 10 min, and I quickly forget I’m wearing it. I work outdoor events frequently, and find this is good protection. I haven’t noticed any breakouts or irritation from it (unless I forget to wash it off at night).

A liquid SPF that you have to shake before use. In liquid form, I think its very suitable for the rest of the body except for the face. It's also lightly scented
