Glowing Face
I always look for good quality sun cream for face . I wasn't sure start with because of the few reviews. But it’s surprisingly good .not a serum liquid but light lotion feel . It’s glowing like instantly for my 49 year old skin . No white crust and no weird conditions .

Sticky and shiny. Not for me.
I got this as an introductory freebie. Looked forward to trying it. It dried down nicely on my hand, but on my face with a few layers of non-greasy skin care, it was sticky, shiny, and did not dry down at all. I had to blot the oily look off my face. Very disappointed. Maybe it works for very dry skin. I guess I will use the rest on arms when I’m going to be outside.

Highly recommend
Finally, a SPF I love! I've been using this for a year, and it’s a game-changer. It has a beautiful creamy serum texture that absorbs easily without running into my eyes and burning, even when I sweat. Only two pumps cover my face and neck, so this small bottle lasts a surprisingly long time. Highly recommend!

Makes you very shiny (and not in a good way)
Giving a 2.5 because it makes me look like a shiny mess, despite people saying it doesn't make you shiny. It feels like a film is on your face all day and it's really uncomfortable. It doesn't absorb at all.
