I was really enjoying this product until I started becoming unbearably itchy, especially on my jawline, neck, and chest. Eventually even between my fingers would be itchy, and I finally realized that this started when I began using this sunscreen serum. I stopped using it, and the itchiness subsided. I realized that this product contains Bismuth Oxychloride, which has given me problems in the past with other products (for instance, makeup with this ingredient would cause cystic acne and itchiness). I discontinued all products with this ingredient based on an esthetician's advice, and wish I had noticed that it was in this serum! It's the ingredient that gives it a shimmery quality. I hope in the future they make a version without this shimmer, because it was truly great otherwise.

Dew Good was a splurge purchase before a vacation to Mexico. I am very fair skinned and cover-up with high SPF from head-to-toe, including my face. i bought Dew Good to give my face a healthy glow without sacrificing the protection of a SPF. COOLA provided a product that did just that! Dew Good is lightweight and fast absorbing. Comes in great packaging.

Every time I used it, it caused a breakout and bumpy texture to my skin. Gave it to a friend and it caused a rash for her. It's in the trash now. What a waste of money.

After about 3 months of using this pretty regularly, one day after coming in from outside my face was tingling. I washed my face and under my makeup it was so red it was almost purple. My neck was itching and burning horribly. My skin was raised and red and radiating heat like a horrible sunburn. I'm talking "been outside for 8 hours in the tropics, in the sun with no sunblock" sunburn. Over the next few days, my swollen and red face went to dry, painful to the touch, covered in tiny bumps and peeling. My neck continued to be red and itchy for almost a week. I used aloe Vera gel, ice packs, nothing helped. I couldnt figure out what caused it and though it mightve been a food allergy, since id already been using this product for 2-3 months with no issues. About 5 months of winter went by where i used a regular face sunblock (not this one) and i had no problems. Took this bottle out last week and used it in the morning before putting on my makeup—same reaction. I realized that was not a coincidence and that thinking back, i had been using this product each time i had this reaction last summer and fall (about 4 times). I went to the one star reviews on this product and low and behold—other peoole have had the exact same reaction. Litterally exact same reaction with all the same symptoms. It seems that theres an ingredient in this that destabilizes over time and causes severe chemical burn reactions. I cant believe that somethjng like this is even allowed to be sold. This is TERRIBLE that a reputable brand would not reformulate or recall this product. If you have this product id recommend immediately disposing of it and writing COOLA to advise of their unsafe product. I have used COOLA body sunblock for years with no issues, but after this I no longer trust this company with ANYTHING that goes on my face. Theres not a ton of the same reactions listed here in the reviews but I promise you it's because people are experiencing but can't figure out what it's from. Absolutely do not purchase this product.

I looove this as an everyday sunscreen underneath makeup or on its own. It giving a beautiful light glowy finish. Its not oily or sticky. I went through the bottle in one month and already repurchased. Might have to just subscribe and save since this is definitely going to be a staple for me.
