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:
- Leaves a slight white cast... For someone lighter than me, you probably wouldn't notice anything.
- Also slightly pore clogging (probably because of the zinc oxide). A lot clogging if I don't take precautions with cleansing/exfoliants.
- No stickers anywhere on the plastic outer packaging to seal it, however the tube itself has a foil under the cap.
+ Actually smells quite nice, a bit similar to Holika Holika/Tonymoly sunscreens but not so strong (it lingers however).
+ Nicely shaped tube, good size (50 ml instead of 30-40 ml).
+ Finish is quite natural, wouldn't say exactly matte or powdery, but definitely more matte/powdery than some other sunscreens (like Tosowoong's Soft Touch), also keeps my foundation looking better longer even if I sweat, helps even with a bit more "dewy" foundations that usually start to slide off.
+ Excellent consistency, easy to spread, thin cream. Can be layered. Haven't noticed pilling or clinging to dry patches.
+ No alcohol, doesn't feel drying. Doesn't irritate. Quite the contrary, feels a bit moisturizing and calming.
+ Went running for half an hour while wearing this sunscreen and I felt really (dripping) sweaty, but my significant other said that my skin doesn't look bad/sweaty/oily at all! Would say it controls sebum really well.

* So, so bummed they discontinued this sunscreen as soon as I started to experiment with it and half way through the tube was considering buying more... There is a new version though, called Kill Protection Sun Base Matte. I wonder if it has been reformulated and how? Can't find information anywhere. Still, when this tube ends, I might have to buy the new version and try if my skin tolerates it! EDIT: The ingredients are the same in the new version as well. I'm going to buy it. Also maybe I'll try the Glow version.
* EDIT: My review for the new replacement Clio Kill Protection Matte Sun Base SPF 50+ PA++++ and Glow Sun Base SPF 50+ PA++++!
* I even like the yellow, simple modern look of the packaging and tube, I would have noticed it in the store too. The new version's packaging looks nice too but not in the same clean way.

* Even though it leaves the white cast and is slightly pore clogging, those things are similar to any physical sunscreen I've used. Clio's Sun Base offers higher sun protection with mixed filters and is as gentle to my skin as a pure physical one.

| Looks like the sunscreen has completely disappeared into the skin, but in reality there is the slight white cast. |
Price:
USD 12.77
Bought from:
Ebay seller roseroseshop
Buy again?
Yes I would have, but it's been discontinued. Maybe getting the new version.
Worth the money?
Yes. I think, it's a well formulated product that does exactly what it promises to do. Feels long lasting, quite resistant to sebum, corrects the skin tone and imperfections, works as a primer, is not drying, is not expensive. It is not perfect but there is not much to complain about! Also it is slightly pore clogging.
