In their words

Love this sunscreen. A week in Caribbean sun and no burn. Only applied twice per day. Doesn’t feel like anything on your face. Super easy to apply even without a mirror. No white cast. Soaks into skin easily. My new favourite product.

I bought this yesterday and have to return it. The smell of it is absolutely rancid, it smells like animal manure is being rubbed on your face. It is absolutely disgusting. It also truly has no coverage so not sure why you need any kind of tint in the spf.
