Loooove this one. It’s so underrated! I tried this out on a beach trip and I was really impressed. It’s so easy to put on and it dries down quickly to a matte finish. My t-zone is also less oily when I use this. I didn’t burn or tan, and reapplication was also nice. If you have combo or oily skin, I really recommend!
PROS:
- Travel-friendly bottle
- Great price
- Thin, lightweight milk Show more
