Had such high hopes for this but was sorely disappointed :(
When I first used it, it took forever to dissolve into my skin, almost like a mineral sunscreen. Once dissolved, it didn't seem to sink deep into my skin/provide moisture at all, instead feeling like an oily film sitting on top of my face.
I considered that I had maybe used too much on my face---while it did dissolve better into my Show more
update: still slight reaction, probably butylene glycol but still helps my barrier, works pretty great mixed w/ foundation as makeup all day, right now having a hard time finding creams so might buy this again since it's still helping even w/ slight irritation
