Pros: Does not feel greasy or heavy and does not irritate sensitive skin. Excellent finish for an all-mineral or "physical" sunscreen. Great UVB protection.
Cons: Not sure how well this protects against UVA radiation (no specific UVA protective ingredients) . Leaves a subtle white cast on even very fair skin and sticks to dry skin areas, leaving small white spots. Does not work well under most liquid foundations (pills up with any blending).
This sunscreen will work great for someone with oily or normal, fair skin looking for an all-mineral or "physical" sunscreen with a high SPF. I would not recommend for people with dry skin, those concerned about UVA damage, or those looking for a sunscreen to use underneath makeup.
I wanted to like this product, but it just felt so greasy on my face. It's a fluid texture, but never seemed to sink in. I'll still plan to use it up maybe when I go to the beach since it is water resistant. It's also very pricey in the U.S. so I probably won't repurchase.
