Glowy finish, no white cast

I love sunscreens so much and it is sometimes a chore to find one that doesn’t leave a cast. This one blends seamlessly in a couple seconds and leaves a glowy finish. It doesn’t sting the eyes too!

Very good

Love this product! Most of serum caused me acne or didnt set properly on my skin. This one is just perfect! Soft and set smoothly to the skin. I will buy it always!

It’s fine

I bought this cause I kept getting adverts for it and I saw it in Boots and NEEDED to try it!! I prefer chemical sunscreens because they don’t leave so much of a white cast and feel smoother, and this being spf 45 made me think it might be super light. I was a little disappointed to find that it’s actually quite heavy and greasy. It definitely leaves NO whitecast which is nice, but it doesn’t feel light at all and I hate it on my skin cause it appears greasy and shiny. I like the applicator a lot though, always a fan of pump applicators, keeps everything clean. I also like the packaging and such. It’s just such a shame that it’s heavy, especially cause it’s spf 45 and not 50, and especially cause it was actually quite expensive too. I would’ve paid the exact same price for the korean sunscreen I already use. I think the price was definitely an influencing factor in my disappointment but oh well. I’ll continue to use it anyway.

Caused a reaction

I really wanted to love this. I checked the ingredient list and it looked so promising. Unscented too which is fab. After 5 minutes I started getting itchy around my forehead ( where I’d patch tested) I had loads of bumps come up and it was sore and hot. The acne stayed for a few days and I had to stop use.
