it's like a lightweight shield that protects from sun damage without clogging pores or causing irritation i also just loveee the gel texture it absorbs quickly so it feels really refreshing while the spf 35 might not be ideal for extended sun exposure, it’s perfect for daily wear and to top it off the price tag is another perk literally got this under 40k omg it’s a really nice product. favorite Show more
