Good
I am an esthetician and am really picky with my products. This sunscreen is pretty awesome! For the price, it is definitely good.
I am a skincare heavy esty-- I never or barely wear makeup. This provides enough coverage for me, but I don't have a lot of hyper pigmentation. I also have yellow undertones and this moisturizer does too. This tint is definitely not "universal," so keep that in mind. It does not leave a white caste and is pretty easily absorbed. It does not break out my sensitive skin.
My only qualm-- I wish it were a mineral-only sunscreen or this company offered one. Octinoxate is destroying coral reefs, banned in Hawaii and will effectively be banned for sale in 2021 in Key West. I am in landlocked state, but I would never slather this on and go into an ocean. Also, some evidence suggests that this chemical can cause hyper-pigmentation. If you are prone to melasma (brown and/or gray patches), I would steer clear of this sunscreen.
I alternate this sunscreen with a couple others, but I have a product problem, ahhhhh. The best anti-aging preventative you can do is apply sunscreen! So with this stuff, for the price, you can apply liberally and as regularly as recommended.
