I wouldn't recommend this product. It might be suitable for those with dry skin though.
ConsThis product was far too rich for me, which actually caused my skin to break out. As someone with combination and super sensitive skin, I definitely don't recommend it for people with similar skin types.

(It got a bit messy in my makeup bag after an encounter with a rogue mascara, oops!) First off, I loved the cooling effect of this product! I applied it without knowing what to expect, and suddenly my face felt refreshingly cool. I was like, 'Oh? What's this?' Turns out it's the Aquatica Cooling Sunscreen! It would be perfect for those who tend to feel hot or for summer use. Also, since it doesn't leave a white cast, it's great for those who don't wear makeup or for men who want to reapply throughout the day. Remember, sunscreen should be reapplied when you're out! It absorbs quickly and comes in a convenient size for carrying around. I also loved how hydrating it felt. It was less like applying sunscreen and more like smoothing on an essence or a moisturizing emulsion!
ConsThe downside was that I got a small blemish on my forehead after using it, possibly because I tend to be oily in that area. If you have oily or combination dehydrated skin, you might find it a bit rich. In that case, you might want to use it sparingly or set it with some powder afterwards.
TipI noticed that when I let it absorb well before applying makeup, my foundation seemed to go on better. I usually use a brightening moisturizer before makeup for a brighter look, but this sunscreen isn't a tone-up product, so it's great for a more natural makeup look. To be honest, I'm more interested in the skincare benefits than just the sun protection aspect of sunscreen!

Great for dry or combination dehydrated skin. Suitable for oily skin except in peak summer. Especially high satisfaction during summer use. - Gentle and non-irritating: I usually experience tingling when applying sunscreen during skin flare-ups, but after using this product for about 10 days, there was no stinging or breakouts (even mild sunscreens can cause a burning sensation on bad skin days for me). - Lightweight texture: No heavy or suffocating feeling. No white cast and perfect for use before makeup. - Cooling effect: Provides a slight cooling sensation upon application, making it ideal for hot weather. (It's more of an 'Ah, that's refreshing' than a 'Wow, that's cold!' feeling)
ConsThose with oily skin or excessive T-zone oil may experience slight oiliness over time (might be difficult to use in midsummer, not sure about summer foundation compatibility as I haven't tried it yet, but it should work well with summer foundations). +(Update 5/4: My skin has become more sensitive lately, and I almost died from the stinging sensation right after applying the sunscreen. While it didn't cause redness or acne, today I felt a stinging sensation on my philtrum and chin area immediately after application)
TipThe abundant hydration allows for light skincare and smooth makeup application

I usually only applied mineral sunscreen, but with this organic sunscreen, I didn't feel any dryness all day without reapplying anything. 2. It's not sticky. The emulsion-like texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin moisturized without any stickiness. Even when applied to the neck, there's no uncomfortable clinging sensation. 3. There's absolutely no white cast. Of course, that's expected from an organic sunscreen... But for someone who only used mineral sunscreens, it was a game-changer to escape the 'floating face' look. 4. It's not irritating. I once had a severe skin reaction from another brand's organic sunscreen, despite it being recommended by a beauty guru. After that, I stuck to mineral sunscreens, but bravely tried organic again with this product. I didn't experience any stinging, redness, or swelling. To be safe, I patch-tested on my neck first. After two days without issues, I layered it over mineral sunscreen on my face, then used it alone the next day. I did get a few blemishes, but nothing as severe as dermatitis.
Cons1. I developed blemishes. Since this was the only change in my skincare routine, it seems to be the culprit. On the day I applied it to my face, two pimples appeared on my chin, and after the second day, a few more popped up on my cheeks and forehead. While it didn't cause dermatitis, it doesn't seem to suit my facial skin... However, I'm using it very well on my neck and body due to its light and moisturizing feel. 2. The cooling effect isn't as pronounced as the name suggests. There's a slight cool sensation upon application, but it's comparable to applying a regular moisturizer.
Tip1. The hydration level is perfect for dry areas around the eyes and mouth, but oil tends to build up in the T-zone and U-zone over time. For combination or oily skin types like mine, it might be good to use oil blotting papers or a mattifying powder.

In the past, some sunscreens would make my skin too oily, forcing me to use powder, and by afternoon my face would be excessively greasy. This one, however, leaves my skin feeling pleasantly matte. I usually have severe eye irritation with chemical sunscreens, but surprisingly, this product doesn't cause any stinging! I was worried after reading some reviews mentioning eye sensitivity, but it wasn't an issue for me at all. There's no brightening effect, which I actually prefer over a white cast. While this sunscreen leaves my skin feeling matte, it doesn't dry it out, allowing makeup to apply smoothly. The lightweight texture makes it perfect for use on arms and legs during summer too!
ConsI typically apply sunscreen in multiple layers, and when I did the same with this one, I noticed a couple of blemishes appear... It seems this product needs to be applied in a thin layer. Apart from that, everything else was fine!
