Texture:non no white cast at all Got lots of freebies..Thank you so much Keihl's..The Sunscreen feels lightweight and absorbs quickly. It's my 2nd bottle already. I do not experience irritations or discomfort with this product unlike others i tried; it's non-greasy and do not feel heavy. I love it most importantantly because I do not break out since I have oily sensitive acne prone skin.Badly need marj_1975 · shopee.ph
