An OK slightly drying facial sunscreen
On the plus side this stuff is very light and rubs in very easily without leaving any traces of white.
I found this stuff a bit drying and the smell is hard to describe but isn't exactly pleasant. It made my skin feel kind of chalky. I already have issues with skin texture and this stuff didn't help. I definitely had to exfoliate every day or every couple of days from using this stuff daily.

I'm not a regular/experienced foundation-wearer so please take this review with a grain of salt. Wanted a FA-safe skin tint for special occasions, and this checked all the boxes on paper, including being inexpensive and widely available in the USA. Ultimately, this product did give me little irritation whiteheads and exacerbated some texture issues. I found that it needed some elbow grease to distribute over the skin (large pores, some fine lines) and was ultimately quite drying. I used my fingers to apply. Wasn't the worst but as an exclusively special-occasion foundation-wearer I came away realizing I wanted a slightly more luxurious user experience than what this provided, however I get the impression that this formula is decent for the price.
