You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Stings
Stings eyes SO MUCH even if you don’t apply below eyebrows/apply a different spf around your eyes, this product will eventually reach your eyes during the day and they will be STREAMING. Also slightly stings the rest of your skin too. 2 stars because it didn’t cause acne or redness
