I love this suncream! I've used this on multiple holidays now and it's never given me any issues, no breakouts, minimal pore clogging and very hydrating. It also sits very nicely under make up which is amazing, I used for a wedding in cyprus and had no flash back all day, even at night, my make up sat beautifully on top of it. Mels1 · spacenk.com

I went to a 5 day, outdoor music festival with minimal shade for the entire time. I used Sun Bums mineral sunscreen in roll on, spray, face stick and lotion form and did not get a sunburn!! I am super super fair skinned so this was IMPRESSIVE. I also have very sensitive skin and have never had a reaction! Below is the photo of how much sunscreen I went through ;) Shannon K. · trustthebum.com
