I used this on my face from late September last year onwards, and found it great. It does leave a white cast, but makeup helps with that. And does make me shiny, but a mattifying primer reduces shine a lot.
However, when the weather was warming up in December, that plus regular mask wearing at work meant this felt quite heavy on my face, and I got a lot more breakouts than I had in years. So I switched to a more lightweight chemical sunscreen on work days, which worked better.
I have still been using this on days when I'm not at work, and I'm out in the sun a lot. Also, on work days I will wear this on my ears, neck and chest with no issues.
This is a sunscreen I always go back to especially for my kids. I wanted something that worked really well but was quite natural and didn't have any of the nasties you find in nearly every other sunscreen. My issue has been with some natural sunscreens that they just don't work as well as some of the mainstream chemical laden sunscreens. My children are very fair and this always seems to keep them protected. It is quite think but once spread over and rubbed in is ok. It does leave a definitely lightening effect to the skin. No one in my family reacts to this, it's effective and a little goes a long way so a bottle lasts a long time. We will definitely be continuing to buy. Love it!
Tips: Cut the tube open when you've got as much out as you can and you can get quite a bit more out!
