You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Too much alcohol. Very drying.
Applies really nicely but at the end of the day I find my skin really dry and irritated.

This is the best sunscreen I’ve found so far for my oily skin, the 3 pack from Costco makes it quite cheap.
I mostly use it on my face but also use it on my body if I don’t cover my skin with clothing.

A very good, lightweight sunscreen that works best for oily skin. It doesn't feel greasy on the skin and is quite spreadable. I do think it could be a little cheaper bad just a tad more spreadable so I'm not using as much product.
