It is 100% Physical Sunscreen. The active ingredients are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Completely free of chemical sunscreen filters.

It did NOT sting my eyes.

It did NOT smell.

It DOES leaves a very strong white cast. If you apply a an appropriate amount, it can get patchy. You really need to wear make up over this.

It dries down in between 20-25 minutes, depending on how much you apply.

It DOES repeatedly pool in my undereye wrinkles, at least 2 or 3 times during the day. 

It changes the look of foundation. Any foundation that you put it under will look a full shade lighter and more powdery or matte than it normally would. It does not become more sheer throughout the day. However, once everything has applied and set, the finish doesn't change. It really sticks around throughout the day and your make-up really sticks to it. It helps my foundation lasts longer in good condition.

It is definitely present throughout the day.

I recommend this for sensitive skin (unless you know yourself to be reactive to Citrus Oils, in this case I would not recommend it). I would also recommend it to acne sufferers. Zinc has a natural calming effect on skin and anti-bacterial properties that will help fight your acne.
