The cap is quite disappointing. It's unsettling when dried-up sunscreen from around the opening mixes with the fresh product as it comes out.

It applies thinly like an emulsion without any white cast. There's hardly any stickiness, so I could even apply it to my neck without the uncomfortable feeling of it clinging to my clothes. The generous amount allows for worry-free application on the body too, making it great for liberal use.

One major drawback that negates all its positive points: extreme eye irritation.

I'm prone to mild allergies and often have itchy eyes. Even when applying it far away from the eye area, by afternoon my eyes become unbearably irritated. This was the absolute reason I switched to a different product, despite almost settling on this one.

The product itself was so gentle and excellent that I would consider using it again if only the eye irritation issue could be resolved.

Combination skin / T-zone with combination dehydrated skin + visible pores / small bumps + blackheads / sensitive (occasional dermatitis)

1. No skin irritation or blemishes.
2. Has an emulsion-like texture, making it easy to apply lightly.
3. Extremely hydrating!! A great sunscreen for the dead of winter!

After using this, my face broke out in tiny bumps. At first, I wasn't sure if it was because of this product, so I applied it to only part of my face. The areas where I didn't apply it cleared up, while the areas where I did kept developing blemishes. I can't recommend this product, unfortunately.

It applies smoothly with a moisturizing feel and absorbs well into the skin.

No matter how convincing the Olive Young staff might be, absolutely do not buy this product.

Sigh... I was about to buy something else, but I fell for the Olive Young staff's pitch about their dermo products. I should've known better than to fall for their sales tactics. I told them I had sensitive and oily skin, yet they still recommended this - that says it all. First off, it's incredibly oily. The moment it touches your face, it feels extremely heavy. The staff said it had a fluid texture and would be lightweight, but...? As soon as you apply it, it's like pouring cooking oil all over your face. It makes scars more noticeable and makes all your peach fuzz stand out. Unlike when you apply it to the back of your hand, you can immediately feel how suffocating it is on your face. It seems to irritate the skin, causing redness in patches, and even worse, it severely irritates my eyes, making them water a lot.

It's extremely rich in oils. I'd only recommend this to those with very dry skin.

The only downside is the high price. I buy several bottles at once through direct purchase from Europe to use.

I have extremely dry skin, and even after doing my morning skincare routine, I usually have to carry oil with me to apply around my eyes by the afternoon. However, this product is so hydrating that I've been satisfied using it so far (I've gone through about 4 bottles!). 

It doesn't cause any blemishes, and as for the scent, it does have a wood glue-like smell as others have mentioned, but it disappears once you apply it to your face.

Oh, and I didn't experience any eye irritation!

I wish they offered a wider range of sizes - both larger and smaller options would be great!

It absorbs well with a light texture. If you apply more of this thin formula, it really brightens up your complexion!

It appears that La Roche-Posay sunscreen was the only one that somewhat suited my super sensitive skin. I'm upset that I might have wasted money on this product.

For some unknown reason, it caused a tingling sensation. After using it for 1-2 weeks, I developed a red, hive-like rash, which is really stressing me out. It seems hard to find a suitable sunscreen. Those with sensitive, acne-prone skin like mine should be cautious.

The lightweight application felt refreshing. The price was more affordable than I expected.

Keep in mind that my positive experience is due to my dry skin type. If you have oily skin, this product might not be the best fit for you.

As someone with very dry skin, I've always struggled to find a sunscreen that doesn't make my face feel parched. Most mattifying sunscreens leave my skin feeling tight and dehydrated. But this one is wonderfully moisturizing with just the right amount of richness. It's been a game-changer for my complexion!

When applied as directed, it leaves a heavy white cast and feels too suffocating. The makeup staying power is very poor

Moisturizing and gives a nice glow when applied, perfect for achieving that dewy skin look

What the heck is this smell? It's so intense. How is it possible that it's the exact scent I hate the most?

I had to use this since I bought it overseas, but I was surprised by how watery it was! When I applied it and went out, it was just incredibly oily. It's honestly driving me crazy, haha... oh my goodness.

After applying the sunscreen, allow some time for it to absorb before starting your base makeup. If you have dry skin, you should be able to use it without any issues!

For oily skin... while it's moisturizing and absorbs well, it feels a bit greasy. So when applied to the face, it feels slightly heavy rather than fresh. When you layer base makeup over it, it seems to break down a bit faster compared to other sunscreens... Everything else is so good, it's a shame about this aspect.

It doesn't cause irritation and absorbs well. There's a slight white cast, but it's barely noticeable? The lack of significant white cast is a big plus. It's hydrating and has good ingredients. A sunscreen is successful if you don't see anything on your face after application, and in that sense, this is a successful sunscreen!

It doesn't give a fresh feeling, unfortunately. The scent isn't particularly refreshing either - it just smells like your typical sunscreen.

My skin is sensitive, and other sunscreens often feel heavy and uncomfortable. But when my dermatologist recommended Bioderma sunscreen, it was a game-changer! It doesn't cause any blemishes and feels great to use. Now, it's the only sunscreen I ever use!
