This is GOAT, no cap. I have never liked SPF so much that l went out of my way to stock up on it, but this one. It is just top-tier: calming, lightweight, spreads easily, doesn't smell at all, and sinks in IMMEDIATELY (* no excessive rubbing and fussing). If you think Skin1004 is great, this takes it to another level.
Texture/oilyness, who? This stuff will be a great base for any of your Show more
Lightweight and fragrance free, not greasy or dewy. It leaves a natural glow
