I was exited to try this product because before i have never found sunscreen that wouldnt broke me out and i read a lot of positive reviews.
It really didnt broke me out and it didnt leave any white cast, but it left my skin looking greasy, and the pores looked larger. Also it really dryed out my skin, so i use it for my body now.
I've tried dozens of facial sunscreens over 50 years and this is my current favorite on my late 60's combination skin. The** large pump makes it easy to apply and the large container is **inexpensive and lasts months only using on face and neck. I've tried the similar product Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel pump (SPF50 + PA ++++ from Japan. I like it as well, but it takes much longer to dry and slows down my morning routine. The only drawback is ordering on Amazon you have to plan ahead and be OK with it taking a month to arrive from Japan.
Pros: This sunblock does block the sun! It's much lighter than American sunblock and does not leave a white cast (yay!)
Cons: I live in New England where summer is usually high humidity. Going in and out of hot humidity and AC leaves my skin really confused. This sunblock leaves a thin, shiny micro film on my face. It also counteracts any moisturizing I do beforehand, and exaggerates my (super-mild) texture issues.
Overall: I'll use this for my face until I find a better sunscreen, then use it for my body.
