i feel safe applying this sun screen on without worrying about oiliness, pore clogging etc. i use a gel toner or moisturiser first then rub this stuff in very quickly before the toner dries. it helps spread the lotion and even coverage and then loose powder after to set. only problem is, it looks whitish after application. if you have medium to dark skin, this will show up for sure.

I've been using this for about a week now and I like it. It does go on very white and takes a while to sink in so this isn't something you should use if you are trying to get out the door quickly. I usually rub it in several times before applying makeup. I am very fair skinned and I notice this leaves me with a whitish sheen. I'm not sure how it would work on those with medium to darker skin. Overall, I think it's a good moisturizer and a good sunscreen product. It doesn't seem to clog my pores (yet). I'm glad I bought this.

Hi - I just got this and while it does go kinda matte like the reviewer below said, it feels oily and heavy on my face so I have to dust loose powder on top, which is generally okay but can be annoying sometimes. I also find my face gets quite shiny with oil after a while, which I don't like.
I bought mine in Singapore where it's not expensive... SGD23. It seems well formulated with lots of nourishing oils, calendula etc. Suits my dehydrated skin. Smells good too. I find application fairly easy. It spreads well upon initial application but then it becomes quite heavy and tacky, so I have to quickly apply it all over my face and neck. I live in the tropics, so maybe this'll be fine in more temperate climates. Def wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has oily skin. I really like how it's effective immediately, so you don't have to wait half an hour before going out into the sun. I'll take it to France with me during winter and see how it fares then.

This cream turns into powder upon application. It has a mattifying effect. Only issue I have is its quite difficult to blend and if you don't blend it properly, it leaves some white streaks. Not good if you have to rush every morning!

compared to many other mineral screens at this concentration that market as "natural", this is quite light in texture and pretty matte. less hard to spread than my other staple, Mustela spf 25, and much less pore hazerdous (for my ever clogged acne prone skin). to my surprise (and delight!) I found that it also has these gold microglitters that are visible only when the sun hits it (very subtle though--not at all distracting). I don't know how or if the titanium is coated, it would be nice to find out. you can make a guestimate of the PPD by referring to Nora80's notepad. Price is steep here at $40 but it lasts.
