Ingredients
As a chemical sunscreen, it has three chemical UV filters – ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, hexyl diethylaminohydroxybenzoylbenzoate and bisethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyltriazine.
It also has sodium hyaluronate, squalane and several flower extracts. However, it contains alcohol so if you’re sensitive to this ingredient, it might not be the best choice for you.

Product Details & Thoughts
Texture: It has an off-white creamy texture and basically feels very lightweight and moisturising. After layering up all your skincare, using a sunscreen that’s lightweight enough to feel like a typical moisturiser is definitely the best choice.
Smell: It has a very unusual smell, one that I do not exactly like. To me, it smells like malaria drugs (and I hate that) but the smell disappears soon after you apply it to your face. However, if you apply to other parts of the body like your hands, the smell lingers for a long time.

Thoughts: This is my new favorite sunscreen! I just loovvve how easily it blends into the skin, with no white cast at all. It gives a slightly matte finish (depending on your climate) and doesn’t leave my oily skin greasy.
I use my sunscreens in layers, and for this one, each layer takes less than 30 seconds to blend and my face doesn’t feel heavy after multiple layers. Another nice feature is that it doesn’t sting my eyes.
However, it claims to be super waterproof but I don’t think it actually is. It’s best to reapply completely if you’ve been in water/sweating and make sure to use as much as you can for proper protection.

Conclusions
This is actually one of the best sunscreens I’ve used since I started my sunscreen journey!. Apart from the weird smell, I love everything about it and and I think it’s definitely worth the try. It may not suit people who hate alcohol in their sunscreens or those who like a more shiny finish but I think it’s great for oily skin types and hot climates.
Will I recommend? Absolutely! Like I said, you may want to skip it if you’re sensitive to alcohol or like a shiny finish but I’d still recommend trying it.
Will I repurchase? Definitely yes, although I’d want to try the other versions the brand offers and do a comparison.
