Review (5/5): New Holy Grail Sunscreen
[[VIDEOID:d1630bd31368ccda2fe184c165d14852]] I have somewhat fair-toned skin and need to really protect it due to the use of retinols and various skin care acids that make it more susceptible to burning and photoaging. Unfortunately, my skin is also very breakout-prone, especially with masks, such that products that didn't break me out before do now.
This product is a wonderful. It's a small size like most Asian sunscreens, however all you need to do is draw one line of it down your index finger and that's enough to cover your whole face and the tops of your ears. You shake it up, and it's very liquidy, but it's very spreadable.
If you're familiar with MAC Strobe Cream, this leaves a bit of a radiance, which might be a parent on very dark skin tones, but it adds a nice illuminance and counteracts sallow tones found in lighter skins. It doesn't add high shine, just a bit which is totally manageable whether or not you add makeup on top. In fact, my skin can look quite matte after I'm done with my makeup, just a bit dewy if I leave it untouched.
I'm so happy to report there are no breakout issues with this. I have even falling asleep in this without washing my face first, and woke up without breakout issues. Love love love it. If you have drier skin, try the formula in the tube. I didn't find this drying, but the tube version is definitely heavier in texture and a bit more moisturizing.
