I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The bottle is glass so I'm afraid I will break it, I have dropped a couple of glass bottles in the past (one was lash glue, so you can imagine how fun it was to try to get super sticky glue off the sink and floor!)
- Not a travel or purse friendly product
- The oil is very liquid so when I drop it on my face it almost rolls off before I am able to spread it, it's a bit messy operation
- Even though the oil made such a nice glow on my arms, my face looks just shiny (not oily though, just very shiny)
- I wouldn't wear this product on its own (like a regular sunscreen)
- Makes foundation to break and slide during the day a bit (too much oil?)
- Takes about 8-10 minutes to "dry" but still stays oily to touch
- My face turns red(dish?) for about half an hour after application
- Chemical sunscreen
- I just don't care for the flowery, heavily fragranced smell, also it lingers all day
- UPDATE: Gave me closed comedones when used several days in a row!
+ Such a beautiful result with this sun oil and a swipe of colored powder on top, so natural, as if I'm wearing nothing (however, must be so careful not to rub the oil off because it stays "oily")
+ Easy to spread
+ Feels very nice, I tried this on my hands, arms, decollete before face, made skin have a healthy glow
+ No white cast
+ Feels a bit moisturizing
+ I feel like I have nothing on my face

+ Versatile product, Tonymoly website says you can use it on its own, or mix into other skincare products or even massage into hair
+ Didn't cause me a very bad reaction despite being a chemical sunscreen... yet! UPDATE: Gave me closed comedones when used several days in a row. Well, better than pimple attack after first day? Like with the Body Shop's Skin Defence Multi-Protection Essence.

* Not sure how much I'm supposed to put the product on so it's effective. And now that I think of it, it does not replace other suncare products.
* I enjoy the feeling of oil products, might want to get something else in oil form too!
* I must admit the glass bottle looks good and feels luxurious.
* I really like the concept of this product, to be able to mix it with everything and the skincare benefits.
* Based on this product, I want to try something else too from Tonymoly. (Even though Tonymoly doesn't seem to have the best reputation?)
* UPDATE: I did try the oil with foundation in different ways, like mixing it on my hand and putting oil first and then foundation on face. Couldn't help but think that it was messy and took too much time. The end result wasn't even that nice. Had to stop testing when closed comedones decided to conquer my cheeks and forehead. I think this oil isn't meant to be used in such "large" amounts, just as a drop to your other products, however, it's then just a step that takes extra time and mess?
* Also didn't try to mix the oil with anything else yet, maybe that's how I'd get better results but again: how much am I supposed to put it and how well mix so that the product gives me effective sun protection?
Price:
16,5 USD / 30 ml
Bought from:
Jolse
Buy again?
Maybe. This sun oil is passable for some situations, if you have the energy and creativity to experiment with it. UPDATE: No.
Worth the money?
Yes. I think so. Even though the bottle is only 30 ml, it is oil and a little goes a long way. I think 4 drops was enough to get my face covered. So I imagine this bottle lasts for maybe 3-5 months depending on the usage (if a drop is mixed into cream/foundation etc). Also the product almost does what it promises and is not too impossible to use. Tonymoly US website lists the price at 28,50 USD which I think sounds a bit steep but maybe only because I paid less.
