Very fluid, starts absorbing and disappearing immediately when rubbed.

Thoughts:

Leaves skin medium level shiny, I would say. Not a disco ball, but I need powder if I want to look presentable.

Because it is so fluidy, it is difficult to eye ball a correct measure. I can see people using easily too little (tiny amount spreads so well) or way too much (I am able to layer this many times)

Have to remember to shake the bottle and be careful when opening it, it spills a bit for me



Mild fragrance, first I smelled alcohol and soon almost nothing.

Doesn't feel greasy to the touch.

Zero white cast (no physical filters)

Easy to layer a lot, doesn't pill on itself.

Interestingly, it doesn't feel drying, even when I am using retinoids. Contains alcohol denat.

Works under all the make up products that I have. No pilling, caking, etc.

So far, hasn't irritated my eyes (I don't apply on eye contour however) even during summer. Seems to stay put quite well, doesn't seem to migrate a lot.

Doesn't feel clogging. And my skin gets clogged easily.



* I just bought this sunscreen, so can't give a proper review just yet. But thought to post photos anyway because I tried to google before purchasing and couldn't find much. This is a new product, yes? I don't remember seeing it last summer... but I'm not sure. The description is a bit like La Roche Posay's famous Shaka Fluid that I haven't tested yet. EDIT: I have updated my review.

Next I'll test this one with different base makeup products and outside while running and sweating.

I've been avoiding things with alcohol but now with better skin barrier and routine I'll try again! No irritation yet.



Price: 

about 13 € / 40 ml, on sale/online I've seen as low as 7 €

Bought from: 

Supermarket

Buy again? 

Yes, actually I have, a backup.

Worth the money? 

Yes, especially if you can catch it on sale (my country is expensive) or online. But it is definitely pleasant and elegant enough that I would pay the full price again. I would recommend Garnier Sensitive Advanced Face Super UV Fluid for all skin types.
