Sheer feel
I was a little skeptical about this product upon arrival as I am about all face sunscreens since I’m picky about my skincare routine. I decided to give it a try and use it as my whole face sunscreen. The application is a little rough, I would prefer a cream rather than a stick to rub on, but overall it felt very light and blended into my skin well. It didn’t leave me feeling greasy and I was scared of breakouts but it didn’t cause any new big breakouts. My biggest problem is the application in the stick form, however it’d be good for on the go and outdoor activities. Non irritating!

Worth a try!
So far this product is one I would consider buying! I like the ingredients and the way that it feels on my skin. I have sensitive skin on my face so I am always skeptical to try new facial products. It never left my skin irritated or burning, so it seems it would be great for those with sensitive skin. My only complaint about this product is the ease of application. The stick seems pretty hard and not much product comes off when trying to apply to my skin. Im not sure if it is something I’m doing wrong or if maybe the stick doesn’t work as well when it’s cold? I would like to try the product out when it’s warmer and the sun is more intense to see if it’s effective and if application runs more smoothly.

great everyday sunscreen!
I’ve really been enjoying this sunscreen! I love that it’s in a stick form because it makes me so easy and convenient to apply. SPF is so important in your skincare routine! Pro tip-spf should be the last step in your routine. I love that it’s SPF 50 for extra protection. I just glide this across from my face to apply, and it’s so easy and convenient. One con is that it might not be the most hygienic, but to be honest, it doesn’t bother me because I only apply it on a clean face. It’s not greasy at all, but is also not drying. Also, there is no fragrance, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin. It’s also affordable and available at the drugstore. I recommended this product if you’re looking for an SPF for the face!
