I use this sunscreen (along with other image skincare products) daily for 6 months and I have been loving it! Firstly it does not contain any irritating ingredients. I have used other sunscreens before and they always gave me bumps underneath my skin. It is a thick white cream but once you have applied it the white cast fades out and it keeps my dry skin hydrated the whole day.
The only downsize is that it is very pricey. It also stings in my eyes when I rub my eyes ( i have allergies).
Me and acne are having an ongoing spat for around 15 years now and using sunscreen on my face is nearly impossible without getting more pimples. ( Before switching to the Image Skincare Sunscreen I used the Garnier Sensitive Suncreme, which is okay, but it dried out my skin real bad and still gave me pimples here and there. )
After switching out nearly all my skincare products experimentally to non-fungal-acne-triggering stuff, I am happy to report, that I didn't have any new pimples come up for nearly two weeks now.
One of these new products is the Image Skincare Sunscreen right here.
The consistency is something between a gel and cream, it spreads easily, sinks very fast into the skin and will leave a slight withe mask after application, but this will fade after a few seconds.
The Sunscreen is also not sticky/oily on the skin. It leaves a matte finish, which is very smooth to the touch.
Also of note is the very orangey smell (which will fade after a few seconds too, tho'), for those, who are sensitive to scents.
I am using no further moisturizer under this sunscreen right now, but it would be advisable to use one, if you have drier skin because the sunscreen in itself isn't THAT moisturizing.
TLDR:
Very good, if slightly pricey sunscreen for acne prone skin
Would buy again
