What owners single out
Pilling/balling up is the weakest aspect for buyers and aligns with the texture application challenge noted in reviews.
In their words
“I have finally finished a full bottle of this and I use it everyday. One of my favorites and I have tried many. I have a medium-light brown skin color and have drier skin that is not acne prone. I personally like the dewy look so the “oily” look is not a problem to me and usually it sets in pretty well. I would suggest putting it on with a tool to pat it in to make it set in faster. It also works ”

“I really wanted to love this sunscreen because it does have some good qualities. I like that it is more matte on the skin compared to other sunscreens, I love that it doesn’t have a smell. It feels comfortable on the skin, not sticky at all. The one issue that made me decide to return this is the balling-up/pilling on the skin! Its difficult to avoid.”
