🧡 Texture: White in colour & it has an in-between consistency of a lotion & a thin cream. Once fully rubbed in, it doesn't feel like you have anything on at all !
🧡 Fragrance: I can definitely smell a musky baby powder scent to it. It's not strong & does fade away quite quickly.
🧡 Main Hero Ingredients and claims:
(Don't worry, I won't list all the long scientific names because frankly, I can't even spell them myself 😂 But I'll list the main ones below)
- Tetramethylbutylphenol 4%w/w : sunscreen filter that is half physical & chemical based.
- Titanium Dioxide 3.4%w/w: one of the best physical sunscreen filters.
- Dimethicone: a silicone used to create a smooth texture & it may also be found in some scar treatment creams.
- Silica: to absorb oil for a more matte look.
🧡 On my dry & sensitive skin: No reaction at all even though the product had perfume in it.
The first time I tried it, I had my full hydrating routine on & I started looking oily after a couple of hours. Upon re-application, there was a bit of pilling. I'm not sure if oily skin beauties would enjoy this sunscreen as much as me though.
So I re-tried it with a less hydrating routine where I used a lighter serum & a much thinner moisturiser. It worked well this time, no oiliness & no pilling after re-application this time 🥰
My skin is on the fairer side & there was still a subtle white cast after rubbing it in. Definitely not suitable for darker skin tones unfortunately. However, I quite liked the slight cast as I'm prone to redness & it helped to even out my skin tone.
True to its "dry touch" claim, even at the end of the day, my skin felt smooth & soft. While it was matte, it wasn't drying!
🧡 Packaging is very nice and it played on the "dry touch and smooth" feeling of the actual sunscreen as the tube gave a similar feel in hand. Plastic tube with a recyclable logo on it but nothing on the plastic cap.
🧡 Repurchase? Yes, this is one of the better hybrid sunscreens I've tried. Gave me a "tone up" look, high UV protection & can pick this up at most shops for an affordable price.
