Love this product, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Finish is very dewey, and there is a minor white cast (from the 3% zinc oxide) that may show on darker skin tones. Slight scent from the thyme extract (which may cause allergies for some). On the lighter side, but still has a residual feel — definitely not the feeling of “nothing.”

That said, I’ve appreciated more skincare benefits from this than probably any other sunscreen. I’ll apply it even if I don’t plan to go out in the sun just because it’s very soothing for my skin. It’s especially nice on the rare occasion that my skin is really irritated, and I really like it in the winter when the air is drier.

Definitely on the pricier side. And when you get a fresh bottle in the dropper packaging, it tends to be goopy and won’t suck into the dropper well. I roll it in my hands like a nail polish for a bit to fix that. It’s usually no longer necessary for me after a few uses; the dropper will be able to suck up product without rolling.

So, yeah, not a perfect product by any means, but it’s been a good friend to my skin.
