what a joke
this was everything i didn't want in a sunscreen. way too thick and greasy, insane white cast, didn't spread nicely at all, and to top it all off, it pilled all over my face no matter if i had any other products layered under it or not. i really tried to like this but i despise it and i cannot believe this costed me about 20€.
Love it. Has minimal whitecast and dries to a lovely, smooth, lightly matte finish. Great on its own and under makeup; I haven’t had issues with pilling.
