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:
- The tube design is a disaster for a liquid product like this, the product leaks everywhere and you either get too little or too much and you have to think in which position you keep the tube all the time
- Cooling feeling it leaves on the face is not that nice during winter when it's already zero or under celsius
- Sadly, this sunscreen pills under my make-up products...
- Because it's liquid it's kinda difficult to guess how much I should use it and if it's covering every part of my face equally
+ Wow, very minimal white cast despite it being physical sunscreen! Looks almost like bare skin (doesn't hide imperfections or correct skin tone)
+ This is the first sunscreen I actually felt like I was able reapply during the day because it's so light (if I didn't have make up/light make up, that is)
+ It's called "watery sun cream" but let's be honest, its consistency is like water, like a serum, no where near cream: it's easy and fast to spread to face and it dries fast
+ Smell is not the most pleasant, weird plastic herbal, but so much better than perfume fragrance so I prefer this very much
+ Leaves a cooling feeling to your face for maybe an hour or two, very weird but nice during summer

* Not sure if this sunscreen is breaking me out... I have come to the conclusion that all physical sunscreens I've tried clog my pores noticeably, but they do not cause irritation. Chemical sunscreen filters I've tried cause me interesting problems varying from redness to cystic acne to bumps so far but I haven't tried many sunscreens so it's all just speculation.
* This is not as moisturizing as the other physical sunscreens I've tried, but it doesn't make my skin dry either.
* Overall verdict: quite a pleasant product for summer! EDIT: This sunscreen uses only Titanium Dioxide as a filter. So maybe it should be only a winter product.

Bought from:
Ebay seller ibuybeati
Buy again?
Maybe. For a second I thought this sunscreen was exactly what I had been looking for but the pilling is annoying and I'm still wondering if a non clogging sunscreen exists. But otherwise a great product. Maybe I will buy this for my mom too, she might like it.
Worth the money?
Almost, I wish the tube would be a bit bigger because it ends quite quickly due to the watery consistency and the fact that you can actually add it during the day. Great that it doesn't have the white cast, but it also means it has a bit lower sun protection. (And still pore clogging for me!)
