Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have pretty durable and un-sensitive skin (i.e. my skin doesn't flare up, burn, or itch to most products), but am horrendously prone to acne and hyperpigmentation, and most sunscreens are really thick and make my face feel pretty sealed up and unbreathable. This sunscreen is probably the best I've come across so far. It still has the usual odor and consistency of typical sunscreens, although it is slightly more fluid and subtle so a small amount can be applied easily and my skin can still breathe. Once applied, it does leave a little bit of a shine (but not nearly as much as regular sunscreens), but I think that's a fair trade for protected skin. A thin layer of it won't leave your skin looking white/pale either but an ample or generous amount will (ample being a teaspoon-full). Applying makeup after isn't any issue either, granted that you either rub the sunscreen in thoroughly and allow at least of couple of minutes for it to settle. I use liquid foundation but for those who use powders, you might have to wait longer for it "dry". As stated in the description, application is necessary at least every 2 hours, or every 80 minutes if you're in water or sweating. I prefer to wash it off as soon as I'm no longer outdoors, but I have left it on for an extended period (6-7 hours) and didn't feel my skin becoming too oily as it would with any other sunscreen. I didn't break out from it either, which is a plus, and I've been using it almost every day. FYI for sunscreens in general, many common ingredients of sunscreen like avobenzone and homosalate (included in this product as well) are good at either filtering, blocking, or absorbing UV, UVA, UVB rays, which is great, but I would highly recommend washing it off as soon as you no longer need the protection. Like everything else in this world, the sunscreen isn't infinite - it's made of molecules and chemicals that will break down into other compounds. These ingredients in sunscreen have been found to breakdown into a variety of organic compounds, some of which that can cause cancer - I'm not saying that this guaranteed and will happen to you, but be wary of leaving it on your face for extended periods of time. I don't know the details of how long these ingredients typically last in their intact UV protecting state, but by guessing from the product description stating that it should be reapplied at least every 2 hours, my guess would be that - a couple hours. So overall, just make sure you're cleaning it off properly. Cleansing oils and cleansing balms are useful for removing oil-based materials like sunscreen.
