Ok, I've had a completely different experience from the two reviewers below.
This cream is light, but it goes on incredibly greasy on me. It makes me look like I have some of those clear moisturizing masques on. The gel kind, where you peel off your skin? Very very very shiny.
Plus, it irritates my skin, I can feel it sting slightly. I am not sure if the protection it gives is worthwhile, given that it irritates my skin so much. :(

This product almost fulfills my requirements for holy grail facial sunscreen- high SPF, excellent UVA protection (given a P+++ rating), absorbs quickly without a heavy greasy residue and doesn't leave me looking white (i'm an NC40). It falls short of being perfect in that if worn by itself it started to look powdery on me within a few hours. and YOWSA the price. 36pounds for 30ml, which lasted me only one month. I shall keep repurchasing, but only till i find an affordable replacement.

This is a sunblock to be layered over your moisturiser. It is remarkably light considering the high factor, in fact the lightest textured sunscreen I have ever seen. It also has a very light flesh tint to it so it isn't chalky. Not greasy on the skin. Great for everyday wear as it also protects against pollution.
