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.
