(Used from 2022-2024) This is truly the only sunscreen that ticked off all the boxes for me. Affordable for the amount of product, High SPF value, UVB and UVA protection, doubles as a dewy, moisturizer (so no need to apply a separate sunscreen and moisturizer) and best of all NO White Cast!!! (I legit searched for months to find a moisturizing sunscreen that didn't make me look ashy). There is a Show more
No whitecast, no scent, lightweight, no sticky feeling. And very affordable! However, it seems to be as far from matte as possible, which I'm not a fan of.
