To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.
This product contains 50 grams (1.76 oz) and has a light sunblock type of scent.
The product comes in a basic squeeze tube.
The sunblock is slightly off white and thick.
The texture is quite smooth.
Once blended in, it's not heavy and it's hydrating. It doesn't really emphasize any dry spot and it's not sticky.
As this sunscreen claims, it doesn't have any flashback, it does brighten but there's no weird white cast.
Recommended use is at the final stage of skincare, take an appropriate amount and apply it evenly to the entire face and skin that is easily exposed to ultraviolet rays and tap it into the skin for better absorption. After using, I found this sunscreen to be of really nice quality. The cream is a little heavier so this would be better for dryer skin types and it blends out really nicely. It doesn't emphasize any dry patches that I could see and while there is a sunscreen type of smell it dissipates quickly. I also found it to be quite gentle so I think it would work for sensitive skin. It's not tacky or sticky after application and it doesn't leave a white cast. It does brighten the skin a little bit and more noticeably under flash but no obvious flashback. As for performance in the sun, it did a great job of shielding my skin and I didn’t even notice any tanning at all or it was very minimal. The ingredients are pretty nourishing and promote skin safety under sun exposure. I'd recommend this to people with dry and sensitive skin.
What I like: I really like how this performed on dry skin, it was moisturizing and didn't emphasize any dry patches. It brightens slightly and leaves no white cast behind. It's not sticky and feels pretty smooth after application. The ingredients are all really nourishing and efficient at protecting skin from the sun and did a great job of shielding my skin from any tanning or darkening. It's also great on sensitive skin and worked well over the top of a skin reaction I had earlier. What I don't like: nothing, it's a good product.
Doesn't emphasize dry patches
