   Sadly this sunscreen broke me out within a few days. I do love the finish eventhough it’s a bit drying on my oily dehydrated skin. The white cast is minimal on my medium skintone. I did notice that it did pill a bit with my Dr.Lin hydrating gel. If it didn’t break me out I would repurchase.

   Update 9/19/15: I spoke too soon. This was not the cause of my breakouts. It was just bad timing. I’ve come to love this sunscreen. It’s not oily but also doesn’t dry me out. I also love that the white cast is minimal. I would say there isn’t any exept for the first few minutes of application and it disappears. I recently bought the Kanebo Allie mineral moist because I wanted something a bit more resistant but I can’t get past the white cast. 🙁 So I’ll stick to this sunscreen. It cheaper too.

   Update 12/12/15: Just wanted to write an update to say I’m still using it. The only con is that I still have to be careful with it balling up if I use a product before it.

   My skin: Combo-oily, sensitive (among others, my skin takes the habit of breaking out in hives when it doesn’t like something I eat or put on my skin), SD/PD-prone. OSPW. Fitzpatrick IV. Freckles and PIH from hives.

   First impression: lotion texture, very lightweight, applies white but disappears within a few minutes and leaves no whitecast whatsoever, no tackiness/greasiness.
   Due to it’s liquidy texture, it moves around a lot and takes a bit while to dry down and I found it dries really shiny which can be easily taken care of with a light dusting of powder. Dries velvety eventually, but needs some help from AC/fan. I imagine it will be alright when the weather’s cooler.
   May need a moisturizer underneath or wear moisturizing base on top for drier skin or colder days, but in general I find this a tad more hydrating than my regular LRP Ultra-Light Fluid. No stinging or burning feeling at all.

   I found that it pills when I apply full 1/4 tsp amount to my face. I’m not really keen to apply less just so that I can wear it more comfortably. I’d rather find another sunscreen that ticks all the boxes for me.

   I’ve been reaching this ss quite a lot last summer. I found it’s somehow has a brightening effect. Powdered over, it makes my skin looks great.

   I docked 1 lippie, because I find the protection isn’t all that great. I got more freckles over the summer with this. I feel that my skin that tends to be oily in the summer wears off the ss rather quickly, since this ss is not water/sebum/sweat-proof. Plus, the glaring shine annoys me quite a bit.

   I will recommend this to people easily, but I will not repurchase for myself.
