I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Gives me more bumps than Pirkka's SPF 20 sunscreen when used daily (on my body), my skin is not quite agreeing with it
- The bottle is quite annoying to use, can be messy with the liquid sunscreen, sometimes the nozzle leaks
- Don't think the bottle is very travel friendly...
- Not really moisturizing in my opinion but can't blame it for drying my skin either!
+ Dries fast in about 2-3 minutes (probably the alcohol), doesn't stay sticky, is a bit "damp" on the skin for maybe 20 min?
+ No white cast, maybe ever so slightly some "cloudiness"
+ The consistency is very liquid, serum like, quite a nice change from thicker creams
+ Feels like it protects better than my cheapo Pirkka SPF 20, I think my skin wasn't as "irritated" by sun in the evening after being exposed for 8-10 hours (I did reapply), no wonder with all those sunscreen filters packed in one product!
+ Good for hot, humid days, quite sweat proof
+ Very slight neutral fresh smell, practically nothing

* I feel like I just bought the bottle and I am already half way through it... something about the liquid products makes them end faster!
* I have just started to trial different sunscreens for my body and this seemed like a good candidate. Yet, against burning and tanning the cheaper, less SPF ones seem to work almost as well! But if you are outside all day everyday, it makes a difference to go up with the protection.
Price:
About 15 € / 200 ml
Bought from:
Supermarket
Buy again?
Maybe?
Worth the money?
I think the filters seem stable and it's definitely better for hot/humid days than a thicker cream that doesn't truly dry at all. I wish the bottle would be somehow better to use and pack. But I do like it better than my cheaper sunscreens for body.
