It is a Combination Sunscreen leaning heavily on the chemical side. Its active ingredients are Octinoxate, Parsok SLX, Tinosob S, Uvinul A Plus and Titanium Dioxide.
It DOES sting my eyes, sometimes. My eyes felt a bit sensitive, but it honestly did not bother me at all.
It did NOT gather in my wrinkles.
It did NOT leave a white cast in my skin. This is the most magic sheer sunscreen I have ever used. Even with a large amount of this sunscreen, it dries down completely sheer. Even if you overapply, don't blend at all, have patches all over your face . . . in 20 minutes, it will be sheer. If a white cast is your biggest fear, get this sunscreen. It will never have a white cast at all. It has magical finish that sinks into skin and really moisturises it. This sunscreen makes skin look smooth, healthy and glowy to your skin.
It DOES dry down in 20 minutes, with a slightly sticky finish.
It DOES wear well under make up. This sunscreen is not formulated to be water or sweat resistant. If I want to wear make up over it, I make sure to overapply. That said, once you have make up over a large amount of this sunscreen, it looks totally beautiful and doesn't affect the make up at all.
It DOES stay throughout the day, but like most chemical heavy sunscreens, should be reapplied. This is not a resilient sunscreen. If you are wearing make up and powder over it, I would highly recommend reapplying it during the day.
This is best suited for dry to normal skin. Not because it would be bad on oily skin in any way, but because there are several mattifying options for somebody with combination to oily skin. This is a stunning sunscreen and definitely in my top 10 for everyone, but particularly great for dry and normal-to-dry skin.
I would recommend this sunscreen to anybody who is looking for a super elegant sunscreen who is not trying to wear it to exercise or be outside all day long. If you are looking for everyday super natural, incredibly sheer, very elegant sunscreen, this is so good.
