I’m not crazy about this sunscreen but I don't hate it either. For a brown skinned girl, it can give you an ashy look immediately after application but does blend in a little after a few hours. I love that it is water based which makes it perfect for my dehydrated acne prone skin.
My sensitive and acne-prone skin loves it. It leaves nearly no white cast. The texture is quite thick, but it feels light on skin. It also calms irritated skin. Blends well and quickly if you wait for other toners/ampoules/creams to absorb into the skin.

after trying this for a week i’m gonna be real: it smells BAD. like it smells rancid for a couple seconds. however this is the only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out thank you bubble ily
Very Enjoyable
This sunscreen hits all the boxes. doesn't smell like sunscreen, no white cast, easy to apply, affordable. Only reason it is not 5 starts to me is that it feels heavy. My face sweats all the time and i seem to sweat more easily with this on. otherwise worth getting this over most sunscreens
