What is Aqua Booster Technology : it's supposed to be triggered by sweat. When this sunscreen interacts with the minerals in human sweat. It is supposed to chemically react to form a more uniform and impenetrable sunscreen film that renewed film is supposed to immediately boost the sun protection factor on your face by 20%.
What is Light Stamina Technology: is supposed to help this sunscreen release energy absorbed from UV light as heat for more-long lasting stable protection.
Ratings: SPF 50+ PA++++
Cost/Value: $25-38 depending on where you buy it / if you can get this sunscreen at the lower range, it is a good value.
It is a Combination Sunscreen. Its active ingredients are Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Uvinul T-150, Uvinul A Plus and Tinosorb S.
It did NOT sting my eyes.
It DOES smell. It has very classic chemical sunscreen odour but it is really not noticeable in the first place, and it doesn't linger for long.
It DOES gather in my undereye wrinkles.
It DOES leave a white cast on my skin. It sheers out somewhat as it sets but depending on how much you applied, this can have a strong white cast.
It did NOT dry down in 20 minutes or less. It sets in 30 minutes to a very soft, very easily transferable finish.
It DOES look beautiful under make up. It does move a bit and mixes a bit with make-up. You are not guaranteed and absolutely uniform in sunscreen film.
Once it is set with powder either by itself or under make-up, it is a bit better. But it remains very soft and very easily transfers off your face throughout the course of the day. I highly recommend touching up this sunscreen.
This is very suitable for sensitive skin and also for dry skin. It has no alcohol and that slightly oily very moisturising soft consistency.
You have to shake it before using, it has a quite runny texture. Apply it evenly, it starts out with soft white cast and sort of oily texture. After 30 minutes, it is still shiny, oily and it transfers off very easily
In conclusion, I would recommend this sunscreen for very dry and sensitive skin types.
