The texture is beautiful, lightweight, silky, and completely non greasy. It applies like a hydrating moisturiser rather than a typical SPF and sinks in quickly without leaving any white cast at all. It’s perfect under makeup and doesn’t pill, even with serums or heavier moisturisers underneath. I also love how comfortable it feels throughout the day.

This sunscreen feels like absolutely nothing on the skin, in the best way possible. It’s so lightweight and non-greasy that I've started wearing it every day. No white cast, no pilling, and it layers perfectly under makeup. My skin feels calm, hydrated and protected all day. If you hate the feeling of sunscreen, this one will change your mind.
