This is a purely chemical sunscreen with active ingredients Octinoxate, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb-S and Uvinul T-150.
It DOES sting my eyes. I felt quite irritated throughout the day.
It DOES smell. Before it dries down, it has a chemical sunscreen odour. The chemical smell is masked by some sort of artificial fragrance that smells something like baby powder.
It did NOT leave a white cast on my skin. It is totally sheer, completely wearable by itself.
It did NOT gather in my undereye wrinkles.
It dried down in 5 minutes or less into a completely sheer, very sticky film. It took about 35 minutes to be absorbed somewhat into my skin and lose some of that stickiness, but it still had a tacky texture that did not change throughout the day. Towards the very end of my day, it became somewhat oily.
It sits beautifully under make-up.
This would work fine on any skin type except for oily skin. If your skin is already fighting your make-up with shine mid-day, you would look really greasy in this by the end of the day. I would not recommend for oily skin.
At the end of the day, because it irritated my eyes I would not repurchase or recommend this sunscreen. If your eyes just are not sensitive to chemical sunscreen filters, this is definitely worth a shot due to it's low low price and completely sheer, elegant finish.
