after trying this for a week i’m gonna be real: it smells BAD. like it smells rancid for a couple seconds. however this is the only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out thank you bubble ily
Very Enjoyable
This sunscreen hits all the boxes. doesn't smell like sunscreen, no white cast, easy to apply, affordable. Only reason it is not 5 starts to me is that it feels heavy. My face sweats all the time and i seem to sweat more easily with this on. otherwise worth getting this over most sunscreens
