Started using this product recently as chemical sunscreens were stinging my eyes.
Overall, it's pretty great. No eye stinging and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It does leave a white cast however.

(Tried May 2021) Came across this product back when I was actively searching for a sunscreen. My initial thoughts were that I found this to be a rather expensive purchase, considering the amount of product as well as it not being at least 50 SPF. However, I did find this to be very moisturizing, but didn't leave a dewy finish as much as I was hoping to. There was minimal white cast, but honestly there are other sunscreens that I'd rather recommend that are worth the price point.
