Hmmmm its got an oily consistency, nice smell but thats a minus in my book. Takes FOREVEERRRR to dry. I wouldn’t apply this in the morning unless you have an extra 20 minutes on ur hands since im pretty sure you have to let all products dry before applying sunscreen. Don’t know how true it is but i don’t play about with sunscreen. Maybe I should’ve given it at least 2 months before judging, but Show more
