I decided to try Aromatica because of its reputation for good ingredients. It comes out like a thin cream and applies with a watery, hydrating texture. When you put it on, it's not exactly lightweight - there's quite a bit of richness! It provides a fairly strong brightening effect, almost like you're wearing makeup. If you have a fair complexion, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. After some time, it settles nicely. The metal ball inside helps mix the product well for easy application. While it seems to absorb well, there's something odd about it. It spreads easily like water, but feels heavy on the skin - almost like using a matte product. Could it be due to the zinc oxide? It feels quite dry. After application, my skin feels a bit suffocated, so I ended up mixing it with a very hydrating sunscreen. It's also quite rich in oils... In winter, it might be tolerable, but the oiliness is still challenging. I suspect the 'glow' it claims to give is actually just shine from excess oil. It leaves my hands feeling greasy too. As someone who applies sunscreen generously, I find the feel of this product, which also contains serum, quite unpleasant. When applying with hands, it pills and creates little bits that roll off. The scent isn't great either. I just can't bring myself to use this product. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 22, 2022
No thick or artificial white cast here! It naturally brightens your skin like you've applied a brightening moisturizer. I love the fluid texture (less likely to cause blemishes). No eye irritation at all. I needed a sunscreen for those awkward times when you're not sure whether to wear makeup because of masks, and this product fits the bill perfectly. If you dab a tiny bit of cushion foundation on top in certain areas, you've got an incredibly natural-looking makeup finish. For a mineral sunscreen, it's surprisingly gentle on the skin. I've been using it for a week with no blemishes so far. I'll need to use it a bit longer to gauge its sun protection effectiveness. I'll update my review after a month of use. It leaves a slight white powder residue. That infamous scent is quite strong, but my allergies make it less noticeable. You need to shake it vigorously, which can make your arms ache. It's extremely drying for winter use - daily application can lead to dead skin cells (might be better in summer?). The caprylic ingredient might be causing a slightly stuffy, film-like feeling on the skin, but the benefits make it tolerable. Even after using cleansing oil, it seems to leave a residue, so exfoliation is a must. The entire Kakadu line seems great, but I couldn't even test the cream due to stearic acid. If anyone from Aromatica is reading this, please make a moisturizer without that ingredient - I'd love to use the entire Kakadu line! Applying sunscreen with a silicone puff reduces that characteristic stuffy feeling compared to using your hands. The Espoir silicone puff is fantastic - why don't they sell more of those?
