  Pros

  Personally, I often wear black clothes, so when I apply sunscreen, I find it most important that it doesn't leave marks on my clothes and doesn't feel sticky. The Phyto-Tree Cactus Soothing Sun Gel is transparent, which I really liked. It didn't cause any breakouts, has great spreadability (feels like applying a light essence or moisturizer), and has a texture similar to aloe vera gel (even the scent is similar). When I rub it in, there's a slight bouncy/cushiony feel, but it absorbs well so I don't have to worry about it. There's also a refreshing sensation when I apply it. Even just the fact that it doesn't leave marks on my clothes is such a relief... In my personal opinion, it would be great if you could make a version for dry skin, and also a super fresh and lightweight version for oily skin. That would be perfect for applying all over the body (I'm hoping for this!) I'm making a correction: The texture in the top image is Bio*, and the bottom one is the Phyto-Tree Sun Gel. I posted both since they look similar, but in my personal experience, the Phyto-Tree feels a bit more richly moisturizing, while the Bio* absorbs better. The initial application feels similar, but the final finish is different.

  Cons

  It's summer right now, but the sunscreen feels overly moisturizing, which was a bit disappointing. When I apply the basic skincare and then the sun gel in the summer, it leaves a dewy, tacky finish (in the fall/winter, the moisturizing effect would probably be better suited). The sunscreen does absorb well and doesn't feel stuffy, but it doesn't have that fresh, 'barely there' sensation. Even when I apply it to my neck, arms, and legs, it feels a bit sticky at first, and while it eventually stops feeling tacky, you can still tell it's there.

  Tip

  In the summer, you can even just apply the sun gel without any other skincare and still do your makeup... The sun gel is that moisturizing. I tested it under running water, and it seems to have a very slight water-resistant effect, though the instructions don't claim it's waterproof.
