considering how unlucky i am when it comes to skincare products i was beyond surprised when i tried this and it worked! i use it everyday right after washing my skin and applying toner, let it dry for about 10 minutes and then apply makeup on top and never had a problem with it. it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, its hydrating enough that my face produces less oil throughout the day and because of that my makeup lasts 12+ hours before a retouch. it does leave a little bit of shine, but the texture is so fine that it looks more like a glow rather than a shine, so if you apply foundation and powder after it it won't be noticeable! i honestly love it.

This sunscreen is affordable, but is not something I can say I use happily. I tried this formula after experiencing a reaction to stearic acid found in another Etude House sunscreen. The finish is spray-like, kind of like if you took an aerosol can of sunblock to your face, which accentuates skin texture. Finish aside, it feels fine under makeup, no pills, breakouts, or significant white cast (though I am very fair). It does nothing to control shine but doesn't really hydrate.

leaves a shiny look that seems a bit oily but not quite... the sunscreen is removable with just water or non-oil cleanser. the shininess caused whiteheads to "pop out" more. the product did not irritate sensitive skin even if it's applied to freshly against-the-grain shaved facial face, which I find very odd, in a good way.

due to the shine that lasts very long time and the pop out effect I'll look into mineral sunscreens next. will definitely use this tub first!

Contains alcohol so it could be a problem for a very sensitive skin. It worked well with my dry, mature skin and I did not notice any damage from the alcohol. Its very light but creamy, sinks in within few minutes and makes a good base under any makeup products. I really enjoyed using it and I may repurchase.
