I have Oily-sensitive skin and prone to acne. This product when applied leave a slight white cast. It irritated my skin, causing redness and drying.
i gave it a try since people said that mineral sunscreen is good for sensitive skin, but this disappointed me, it made my skin irritated and itchy and i developed eczema because of this 🥲 but it didn't broke me out though, i have acne prone skin, so i guess its just not for me.

It’s good. It definitely saved my skin barrier, but it makes my skin really dry after using it
It's a good cleanser, it has a bit of exfoliation, not really strong though! Gives a smooth feeling after and my skin does feel dry after. Since its a gel, it takes off my sunscreen really well! I will be trying out other cleansers but if i need to, i will come back to this!
