I don't know what to do without this baby. It's a cheap drugstore 'investment', that knock out even department store brands of sunscreens. My acne-prone, rather oily skin, is well-shielded with spf 50, with no breakouts or encouraging my makeup to be slippery. It absorbs well on application, somewhat transforming to a 'cashmere finish'. At the end of the day, my skin is a lil lighter too. It's so versatile sometimes i mix this with my BB cream just to dilute the cream's consistency. Happy user.

To me, this was identical to the recently d/c Sofina Perfect UV Lucent spf 50 in runny, white texture that completely sinks in leaving no white cast, barely discernible smell, provided pretty good protection, no breakouts, very nice as primer for my oiler tzone, not too drying for my cheeks.

However, I noticed a slight darkening of my melasma when using this and the Sofina = not happy about that.

Also, you pay $$ for a small bottle, but that's the way of non USA SS.

The PPD = 8 according to the skincare board = I need a higher PPD = will not repurchase, which is a shame because its a lovely product.
