Packaging: The sunscreen comes in a small, bright yellow bottle that is excellent for on-the-go use and travel. The screw-on cap with a pointed nozzle allows for controlled dispensing and reduces product waste. The bottle contains sufficient product information, whereas the exterior cardboard packaging contains additional information. Its sleek form and portability make it an easy addition to your skincare routine. I really like the packing! The outer packaging is similar to the Dot & Key 10% Vitamin C+E Super Bright Face Serum.

My opinion about the product: 

Consistency and Absorption: The sunscreen is white in color has a watery consistency that easily slides onto the skin. While the watery texture may take a bit longer to dry, it mixes and dissolves swiftly into the facial skin. Applying a moisturizing serum prior can help with absorption for people with normal to dry skin. However, it absorbs almost rapidly on the hands and feet, making it suited for all skin types.

Performance and Finish: One of the standout features of this Sunscreen is its unique sunscreen serum-like quality. Unlike traditional sunscreens, this product offers zero white cast and does not leave a dewy finish, making it an excellent choice for individuals with oily-combination skin. Additionally, it provides a subtle level of hydration, which means you can skip moisturizer during hot and humid summer days. For those with dry skin, simply layering your regular moisturizer beneath the sunscreen ensures adequate hydration without causing dryness.

Pilling Issue and Application:  While the sunscreen performs well in general, I have observed occasional pilling. However, this issue appears to be inconsistent and not present in every application. To avoid pilling, apply sunscreen liberally and avoid excessive touching of the face. Overall, this sunscreen is non-greasy and non-sticky, and it does not leave a patchy effect on the skin.

This Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ is best suited for short outdoor excursions, making it an ideal everyday sunscreen for errands or quick getaways. Its lightweight formulation and ease of reapplication offer a flawless touch-up without the appearance of patchiness. A thicker layer or regular reapplication may be required for extended beach vacations or outdoor activities.
