Value for Money: 2/5
This is too expensive for a supposedly 2 months of use according to dermatologists’ sunscreen application guidelines, although it should be noted that this was imported from Australia.
Texture & Finish: 2/5
I guess this is made for special leisurely use, like when going to the beach, hiking, outdoor swimming and the likes. It’s just too heavy for daily use. Their invisible finish claim is true only if you slather it violently (😂), but it’s too thick to do so evenly and you might end up not putting enough for sun protection.
