Review (5/5): Amazing--One of the best
I have not tried expensive sunscreens, so I can't compare there, but for the price per ounce, this is definitely the best sunscreen I've found--a holy grail. It does not feel like a sunscreen. It doesn't leave me greasy or stay wet all day, even when I use the proper amount--1/2 tsp for full face and neck. It does NOT leave a white cast at all despite coming out of the bottle white. Unlike the satiny Trader Joe's daily sunscreen, which is a bit pricier, I don't even feel the need to wipe it off my palms/fingers after applying. It dries without drying out--like moisturizer; I barely feel I have anything on my face--again, just like moisturizer. I can apply it over a moisturizer plus azelaic acid, and I DON'T get pilling. After several hours, I notice a bit of a shine, which is natural for my oily skin--you may want the Trader Joe's one if you're oily and want to be matte, which is more drying and actually a gel that doesn't run. This Skin Aqua one is pretty liquidy, but not messy due to the narrow applicator. The scent is a bit odd; others here have said like alcohol, which I guess might be accurate. I think I stopped noticing it after 3 applications, and the scent does NOT linger after applying. It is fragrance-free--good for sensitive skin and prevention of developing allergies. It's also small enough I can keep it in my jacket or hoodie pocket to reapply throughout the day without being so small that I go through it in a week (3.88 oz).
