I have used this sunscreen for 1 week. I am not very happy with this sunscreen as it was too dry for me. I have combination skin, still when i remove this sunscreen i can feel that the T Zone is quite dry.he alcohol content is too high, beyond my skin's tolerance level. The cheek turned a bit red after application. It also caused minor break out on my forehead.

This product first caught my eye when a writer with dry skin commended this product in a Chinese magazines. By then, I had used sunscreens for “oily” skin for a few months and they never worked. They either felt too heavy/thick or they flaked. Hence, I decided to switch tactics and try the other end of the spectrum. When I checked this out in Watson’s, I first saw that the price wasn’t expensive (65 RMB = a little over 10 Canadian = a little less than 10 US) and that it was actually for sensitive skin. Oh why not give it a try?
The product comes in a 140 mL, yellow bottle. It is a very simple packaging that does not look tacky nor super elegant and expensive. It is bigger than most Asian sunscreen bottles and is an average size North American sunscreen bottle, making it not perfectly portable.
The sunscreen itself is a rather fluid (for a sunscreen) “milk”. Not creamy at all. It applies very smoothly, like a moisturizer, and is absorbed pretty quickly. Unlike with creamier sunscreens (cough-Neutrogena Dry Touch-cough), I don’t ever have to rub it into my skin. Although this sunscreen does have a kind of powdery finish, it does not sit on top of my skin. It helps lock in the moisture of my skin.
I’d give this product a 4.5 / 5. It can become a struggle when squishing it out of the bottle because the air retracts it back. Also, it’s kind of slippery. I also don’t find SPF 25 adequate for summer when I’m exposed to the sun (outdoor trips, etc.) SPF 25 is enough for daily use (I’m an indoor person) especially in the summer. Overall, this has been the most successful sunscreen for me. I stocked up 4 bottles of it while I was in China. I recommend this to users of all skin types, except maybe those with extremely flaking dry skin.
You can find this in most drugstores (ex: Watson’s) and supermarket’s (ex: Walmart) in Asia.
