Ratings: SPF 50+ PA++++
Cost/Value: $5-$13 (27 ml) depending on where you buy it / Good value.
It is a Combination Sunscreen with active ingredients of Octinoxate, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide and Uvinul A Plus.
It did NOT sting my eyes.
It DOES smell. It features a bit of Mentholatum. Some people find it to be irritating and it has a very minty smell. It has a strange cooling effect on the skin. It cools your face as it dries down, like vicks vaporub.
It DOES leave a white cast on skin. As it dries down, it tends to be mostly sheer but leaves little white patches in areas where you inadvertently overapplied.
It DOES gather a little bit in my under eye wrinkles. It is easy to pat out and it won't re-occur.
It dries down in 25-40 minutes, depending on how much you apply. When it dried down, it dried to a sticky texture.
I do NOT have any problems putting it under make up. You do have to be very careful not to remove it or move it around. If you are wearing foundation over this, it would be best to apply a liquid foundation gingerly with a flat paddle shaped foundation brush.
It DOES lasts throughout the day.
It is NOT suitable for sensitive skin or broken skin because of Mentholatum. It's not advisable to apply it over acne, psoriasis or skin problems. And because it does highlight dry patches a bit, this is not good if you have really dry skin.
Because of its oily texture, you have to shake it before using.
I would definitely repurchase this sunscreen and recommend it highly, especially if you're on a budget!
