Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+ SPF50+ PA++++ 36 ingredients
My EXTREMELY sensitive skin (especially when it comes to sunscreen) loves this product! It does leave a slight white cast at first, but it fades quite quickly. The sunscreen stays put even when I sweat and it doesn't sting my eyes
I really wanted to like it, since it felt so pretty on my skin. But I got pimples only after one use.
