I bought this sunscreen spray when I was new to skincare, but unfortunately, it caused breakouts. After learning more about skincare, I realized why: it contains pore-clogging ingredients and isn’t fungal acne safe. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with acne-prone skin.
I loved this over my makeup, it was light, did not cause a film to form like the (bondisands spray) and has a pleasant smell to it. Made sunscreen topups a breeze and worked well in hot/humid climates.
I have combo/oily skin which is acne prone and I've never applied this directly to my skin so cannot speak for breakouts. However, over makeup its not caused me any issues!

The best exfoliator i ever tried. I think it's the best choice for those who has stubborn blackheads, because it literally melts them away. People with sensitive skin should be cautious, because it's an intense product and maybe too harsh for sensitive and dry skin types. I would highly recommend to use a deeply hydrating mask and restore skin's barrier after the procedure, because as I said Show more
Very good but beware it’s very strong. It says use once or twice a week but I would recommend once very 2 or three weeks. If it’s too strong for you, use the Glycerin Acid Toner 7%. After that don’t put any toner. Pair it up with Hyaluronic acid of your choice and a very moisturizing cream in the night time and you’re all set :)
