Has bergamot fruit oil...not good
I learned about this product from Angie (HotandFlashy Youtuber). I loved the lightweight consistency and started using it daily for about 3 weeks. After a couple of days I started getting sensitive skin (skin itching around the jawline and cheekbones, tender, etc.). Then after about 2 weeks, I noticed that my skin was getting dark patches around the cheek area. I kept thinking it was my Curology cream that I was using. But I had been using it for about 3 weeks prior to starting this sunscreen with no issues so I kept telling myself it must be something else not wanting to believe that it was this highly rated sunscreen. After I researched it more thoroughly, I realized that it has bergamot fruit oil found in this sunscreen. This ingredient can cause skin to be extra sensitive to the sun which can lead to dark spots. I was horrified but it made sense because that's what was happening to me. I immediately stopped using it and within a day my skin stopped itching and being sensitive. Unfortunately my dark spots are still there. I absolutely do not recommend this for sensitive skin. There's no real benefit from having the bergamot oil in this product other than to make it smell nice. But fragrance is not good for the skin. I recommend you watching Dr. Dray's review of this product.
