this sunscreen is really nice! I like using it because i can use it without primer and it has a perfect finish to it, not too shiny and not too matte. Like it says though, it does make your skin a lot lighter. It also tones the skin a bit and makes it a more milky color. I like it but others might not prefer the look.
