After extensive research and comparing various products' ingredients and prices, I finally decided on Dr. Alga's product. I love that it's silicone-free, and I was specifically looking for a mineral sunscreen. Despite the typical white cast and stiffness associated with mineral sunscreens, this one isn't stiff at all, and the white cast is minimal and looks natural. As someone with super sensitive skin and deep dryness, I can't use thick sunscreens, so finding a hydrating mineral sunscreen was a no-brainer purchase!
ConsWhile I appreciate that it's not stiff and the white cast looks natural, it does feel a bit rich, which can cause some pilling when applying makeup.

Personally, I find mineral sunscreens irritating, so I usually opt for hybrid or organic formulas. Despite being a mineral sunscreen, this one is less irritating and not as drying. It's also less thick, making application easy. Even after some time, it didn't feel overly drying, and there was minimal irritation even in slightly cold weather.
ConsThe white cast is very noticeable and doesn't fade over time. This could be seen as a positive for those wanting a definite brightening effect, but I personally don't prefer it. The typical dryness and stiffness of mineral sunscreens do appear later (though it's not severe and much less compared to others). In my experience, it doesn't pair well with foaming cleansers that produce a lot of bubbles. Every time I use such cleansers, my skin reacts badly, so I plan to switch cleansers (a hybrid sunscreen worked fine with the same foam cleanser).
TipThis might work for combination to slightly oily skin types in dry weather conditions. It could also be great for those with fair skin or those who don't mind the white cast, offering a pretty glow and brightening effect. If you have skin like mine, absolutely avoid using bubble-heavy foam cleansers for double cleansing. The drying effect of mineral sunscreens plus a barrier-stripping foam cleanser is a recipe for disaster. That said, the product itself isn't bad. For a mineral sunscreen, it's actually quite decent - less irritating and less drying, seeming to have addressed some of the common drawbacks of mineral formulas. I highly recommend this to those who need to use mineral sunscreens but want something less drying. However, personally, I won't be repurchasing it.

It's great for dark spots since mineral sunscreens are better than chemical ones, and the ingredients are gentle too. What I love is that it doesn't leave a white cast or float on the skin - it feels more like a makeup base, brightening my complexion before I apply makeup. I usually prefer moisturizing sunscreens, and while this isn't specifically for dry skin, I don't feel any significant dryness when using it. Also, since I use retinol at night, sun protection during the day is crucial. I'm really satisfied that even when I reapply with a sun stick midday, it doesn't cause any pilling.
ConsIf you apply too much at once, it takes a while to spread evenly and absorb.
TipWhen I have time in the morning, I apply it and pat it in for a while. On busy mornings, I use a puff to lightly tap it all over, which helps it blend evenly and adhere to my skin, making it great for makeup application. If my skin feels dry, a quick spritz of face mist does the trick.

The high SPF and lack of white cast are great features. It's perfect for daily use without any worries. This sunscreen seems ideal for those with dry skin.
ConsThere's a slight shine, so those with oily skin might want to take that into consideration.

Even with my dry skin, it doesn't make me feel parched, which is a big plus.
ConsTo get proper sun protection, you need to apply a generous amount, but doing so makes my face look way too pale.
