Beautiful but stinky!
It's a beautiful finish, but it smells like feet. And it doesn't dissipate, unfortunately. I will use it up to walk my dog but I am very disappointed, especially at this price point. Will not repurchase.
No white cast!!!
No white cast omggg!!!! No matter how much you put on your face, it blends easily. Amazing and effective go to sunscreen.
No white cast!
I love it! Finally a sunscreen with Zinc oxide that doesn't leave a white cast. Also no scent. Buy it, you won't regret it.
Highly recommended
My favorite sunscreen and hope they won't change the formula. Sill pricey for that small size but will definitely purchase it again!
Other than the smell!
This sunscreen is great other than the smell! My word it smells like old plastic and it lingers on your face all day! Other than that this sunscreen is pretty good, but sadly I need to return bc this is way too pricey to keep and not be able to wear.
