Luxe Organix Aqua Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA+++ 22 ingredients
I have a combination skin-type (oily t-zone, normal for the rest).
It has a thick consistency but doesn't feel heavy at all once applied to the skin. In fact, it also kept the oiliness of my t-zone at bay throughout the day even without reapplying. I didn't get any irritation nor felt any stinging or drying effect while using this. It has a nice light scent.
I can't comment on its Show more
The product is great! Doesn’t make me break out at all, even tho it is scented, the product feels lightweight. It is also cheap, so it’s worth buying. It has a dewy finish.
I don’t really know how to measure its UV protection but i think it does the job well enough. It works great for filipino skin!
