My only complaint about this product is that I keep repurchasing it because it always seems to come loose from its container. After I’ve had it for a while, it detaches from whatever is keeping it in place.
Broke me out :(
I heard a lot of positive feedback about this product, and I was excited to try it out but sadly, like all other sunsticks, it broke me out terribly :( I do love to use it on my hands, tattoos, and shoulders while cycling or walking out in the sun all day.

I love and hate it— my skintype is oily and sensitive. This sunscreen did its job protecting my skin from the sun. However, it also left my skin feeling a bit itchy after using it. Mostly on redness area like around the nose and cheeks. It definitely left my skin feeling smooth though.
It does left very little white residue, you can blend it out.
UPDATE!!: I have eczema on my face and it Show more
