loveee this sunscreen 💙 it’s easily absorbed by my skin and didn’t break me out. It also has a silky finish on my skin which makes it look good under makeup. it does help protect my skin when i run outside.

I thought it was good for my skin since the ingredients have Niacinamide, but when i tried on it my skin the feeling is Silky and i was saying to myself that it's ok but in the morning I had a breakout like a small cyst then after a few days many are coming out on my skin face. The analysis of this website is really amazing. It's not Malassezia Safe, which tells me it's bad for the skin.
