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:


Leaves a  white cast! I'm NC20 I think and the cast is noticeable but doesn't bother me very much when I put makeup or just colored powder on top

First I didn't hate or like the faint smell it has, but after one week it started to remind me of baby puke! The smell is definitely not a floral smell like someone described

- Takes 10 minutes to "dry", tried to put foundation on top after 3 min in a hurry once and oh god what a slippery mess

- Stays a little sticky still after drying

Didn't mattify skin at all 



Easy to spread, texture is very soft cream

The tube is easy to use, no mess and I get the exact amount of product

Didn't break me out (physical sunscreen)

Faint smell, after two weeks I was able to ignore it despite the puke association

Feels moisturizing

Weirdly doesn't affect my make up once it's all done, stays for 8 hrs looking nice if I don't sweat, so works as a primer, doesn't pill

Didn't make my skin more shiny than it normally is without any make up, "natural" finish

+  Evens out imperfections and skin tone slightly



* The funny thing is, despite the white cast and stickiness, I still really like wearing this product!

I would take a moisturizer that feels and plumps like this in a heartbeat, must take another look at the ingredients

The tube is so cute and pink, my weakness!

I always forget to mention, can't review the actual sun protection because I live somewhere where we don't get sun for most of the year and summers are not particularly hot or sunny and our sun certainly is not strong when we do get some

* Sunscreen Texture Comparisons



Price: 

$5.76 / 45 ml, I paid with shipping about $10 

Bought from: 

Roseroseshop

Buy again?

Maybe, if everything else I try fails. EDIT: Now, in Feb 2018, I have repurchased Soft Touch. It's not like everything else I've tried failed, I just really missed this one (weird right?! And I have like 6 sunscreens at the moment that I'm using already!). It'll be interesting to see if it clogs my pores, last year all I wanted was just to avoid big breakouts. And Soft Touch didn't cause any.

Worth the money? 

Now that's a good question. The tube lasts maybe a month and half or two months if used daily. Tosowoong Soft Touch is for a person who has very sensitive and dry skin, I think.
