It's not a thick cream-like sunscreen, but a lotion-type formula, so it's easy to apply.
Cons
While it's fine to apply thinly, the sunscreen seems to require too much product - if you apply a lot, it becomes shiny and sticky. And if you sweat, it leaves white streaks on the face.

I recently used the sample hair oil I received when I bought it, but it caused me to develop contact dermatitis, so I'm looking for a sunscreen that will properly adhere. I just applied it and it felt heavy and awkward, so I'm leaving a review.
Cons
It only took 3 seconds to apply, and at first it felt soft and moisturizing, but then it quickly hardened like foundation and became impossible to spread. I knew this might happen, so I tried to apply it in small amounts and pat it in, but it just stuck to my skin and wouldn't absorb. I had to wear a mask for my skin condition, so I only applied it to my forehead, cheeks, and chin area, but it just clung there and wouldn't blend in no matter how much I patted it. I have to admit, the adhesion is impressive, but that's not what I wanted. It's not like I didn't try to work it into my skin - it just wouldn't absorb at all and ended up looking cakey. I'm so frustrated, this is a disaster. If I tried to really work it in to get it to absorb, I think it would just damage my skin. I ended up giving away the hair oil sample because I was so disappointed, and now even this sunscreen is a letdown.

The application is smooth and moisturizing! It doesn't feel oily or greasy at all, which I really like. If you apply it thinly before makeup, it doesn't look cakey or uneven. And sunscreen is a must! The ingredients are good, so I don't get any breakouts. Just make sure to cleanse properly. There's a slight whitening effect, but I actually like how it brightens my complexion. I wouldn't say my face looks dramatically brighter from long-term use, but I do feel like my skin tone looks more radiant and luminous.
Cons
The only downside is that it can look a bit uneven when layered, but if you apply it thinly and pat it in, it's fine.

The sunscreen seems to provide decent moisturization and the white cast disappears quickly. It seems good for dry skin.
Cons
There are no harmful ingredients, but when I first applied it, my eyes stung and tears were streaming... and this wasn't a one-time thing, it's been going on for over a month, so I suspect there might be an allergen in the ingredients.
Tip
It's okay to apply this after using a hydrating base. If the base is oily and prone to shiny skin, this will cause excessive oiliness.

I'm quite sensitive to the ingredients in sunscreen products, but the ingredients in this one are really good. It actually contains whitening ingredients, so it seems to stay on without getting too greasy in the summer. It doesn't cause any breakouts and is pretty decent.
Cons
The application could be better - it doesn't spread very easily. And it's a bit oily for my skin type.

I was pleased to see a certain degree of the expected brightening effect!
Cons
However, it's disappointing that the oily shine started to appear over time.

It seems to have been good because it was gentle. There was also no whitening effect, so it was fine.
Cons
I sweated a lot and it ran down well. It might just be me.

I've been using this product for several years now. While it doesn't contain any additives to prevent whitening, applying it does leave my skin slightly pale at first. But after a few pats, it quickly becomes natural-looking. In fact, my skin tone has even brightened a bit, which I quite like. I repurchase this because it doesn't dry out my skin.
Cons
There wasn't really anything I was greatly disappointed with, aside from a slight whitening effect.

I bought it because of its quick absorption and good ingredients that I couldn't resist.
Cons
It's way too weak in water.. When I apply this and brush my teeth, it just disappears from under my chin.
Tip
Not recommended for summer..

I used it as both a sunscreen and a makeup base, and it feels light and moisturizing. I have sensitive skin and usually use calming products, but I haven't had any trouble with breakouts. The SPF 35 seems adequate.
Cons
It doesn't seem to work well in the sweaty summer or at water parks. When I sweat a lot, it leaves a slightly white residue. It should be fine in the fall and winter though!
Tip
It's great to use before applying foundation or BB cream :)
