I used it 1 hour before go out from my room (around 7 a.m.) and keep using it repeatedly every 1-2 hour when in the sea or beach, but it feels so "thick & very oily" in the afternoon (around 4-5 p.m.)
I am still using this sunscreen for my daily activity until I found another brand or product suit me better.
Pros: no white cast, absorbs easily, feels light and comfortable on the skin
Cons: left an oily sheen on my skin (especially after a few hours), very strong chemical smell, may be slightly pore clogging
I may repurchase in the future but for now I am looking for something better
It's a good product, doesn't feel sticky, doesn't leave a white cast and it's easy to put on but I didn't know it was not indicated for sensitive skin.
After a few uses I started to feel my cheeks getting hot and my skin became very oily using this product. After a few days I got breakouts at my cheeks. It's important to say that I have rosacea too, and I think the alcohol made everything worst. I stopped using this and thankfully my skin got back to normal.
Another thing everybody should know before buying this is that it doesn't have a matte finishing.
This was actually my first ever sunscreen when I just started learning to put together a decent routine. I bought it off from a friend the small size one, and the first thing that came to my mind was the citrus smell! Later did I know it came from the alcohol in it.
I used to love it so much, perhaps because I used only a pea size of it for my entire face because I didn't know yet the "two finger rules" of sunscreen. Now that I always use my sunscreen according to that, I realized I actually dislike this product :( It's so thick and difficult to spread, takes so much time to absorb, and has super oily finish. Now I wonder how on earth could I like a sunscreen like this in the past.
The oily finish makes my face looks even more dull so if I'm going out and about, I always try to avoid using this sunscreen. With the same (or lower) price point, I can find a better sunscreen with better texture and finish.
This sunscreen has a lovely consistency; doesn't feel sticky or pill at all. It goes beyond a sunscreen, as it contians Hyaluronic Acid which could be moisturising. It gives me a lovely dewy sheen, without "sitting" on your face (which can make you look oily). It takes away the oilyness from my moisturiser - perhps because of the alcohol? Bit concerned it's drying me out. As others mention, it smells very strongly of alcohol which has put me off from buying it again.
