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:
- Very, very strong scent of puke and stomach acids immediately from tube: takes maybe a minute to turn to more citrus scent, then into fake citrus essence in cheap cupcakes, highly unpleasant
- I did have two pimples after wearing this sunscreen for the first couple of days, also after a break when testing it again, a couple of whiteheads after first day of wearing. Could of course be hormonal, I don't know. Slightly pore clogging, maybe?
- Even though the makeup on top of this sunscreen doesn't pill, it does separate during the day, especially if you happen to touch your skin. It's impossible to fix and looks quite bad.
+ Consistency is ideal in my opinion, lotion like, not too watery but still light, easy to spread
+ Minimal whitecast (Minimal meaning that yes, there is cast but not that bothersome; if you put two layers, yes it's bothersome)
+ The tube is so great to use (does this sound weird?)! The nozzle is long and thin and I can squeeze the product blobs straight to my face, it's easy to control the exact amount that comes out, it feels such a good size/shape to handle overall
+ Feels that it dries/absorbs fast and the result looks natural, not too shiny or sticky or matte, just like my normal skin
+ Can't feel the product on my skin, doesn't feel plastic or heavy

* I am so far impressed by A'Pieu's Madecassoside Sun Cream! ... Yet I think it's clogging my pores a little. Not a disaster but it takes a lot of effort with bha/cleansing/etc to find the balance to stop the situation going worse.
* I don't think it's really moisturizing but it's not drying my skin either. I don't think it's particularly soothing. But at least it's not irritating!

Buy again?
Maybe? It's not perfect but I still find it good. EDIT: No, it really is annoying to use long-term, it does break me out a little.
Worth the money?
Yes, even if you have to hold your breath for a minute when you put it on. Very nice consistency for a physical sunscreen.
