NOTE: The Incidecoder have a full ingredient breakdown HERE
Texture: Feels like a lightweight, gel-cream that instantly feels cooling when applying onto the skin (could be due to the alcohol but I’m not going to lie, it’s a cooling feeling). I want to note that this does not feel really drying on the skin and I don’t feel tight wearing it throughout the day (Oily-Combo Skin).
Mattifying?: Not very mattifying but this isn’t a shiny/dewy finish either. (I don’t look sweaty).
Sticky?: No.
Greasy?: No.
Balls up?: No.
- As you can see this starts off as an opaque cream but blends out.
Swatch Comparison: No Product (Left) VS Product (Right)
Fully Absorbed
- As you can see there is no shine or white cast.
Does this Sting if the Skin has been Irritated / Sensitised by Shaving/Heavy Retinol Use?: Yes (As this is a chemical SPF).
Summer or Winter?: My Oily-Combo Skin has been able to wear this in the Summer Months and not found it too heavy or greasy-feeling. May not be moisturising enough for Dry Skins during the Winter Months.
Layerable?: Yes.
Video Swatch:
- As you can see, this starts off a white cream and then smooths out nicely into a lightweight film. It doesn’t feel very silicone-y and it also doesn’t look too shiny or have a whitecast.
Fragrance?: Yes, this contains Lavender Essential Oil (And smells like it).
Good Under Makeup?: Yes (Didn’t ball up).
How long have I been using this?: 2-3 Months.
Will I use until Completion?: Yes.
How Long will that take?: 2-3 More uses.
The Effect?: Immediately: Moisturised Skin. Long-Term: SPF protection.

What I like:
- Fragrance + EO Free
- Hydrating / Moisturising
- Lightwegith
- No White Cast
- Doesn’t Ball Up
- Didn’t sting / irritate my skin
What I don’t like:
- The Sent (Scented i.e. contains Lavender oil)
- Contains Alcohol (However I do understand it helps keep the formula lightweight and easily spreadable and smooth + reduces chances of balling up, but I thought I would mention it)
Overall Rating and Conclusion: 4/5 – A very nice, well-suited sunblock for me (Oily-Combo Skin) even during the summer. Yes this isn’t as light as liquid SPFs, but this is still lightweight for a cream. I appreciate that it doesn’t make me look extremely sweaty and that this doesn’t give my Warm-Golden Skin Tone a white cast. My skin doesn’t feel painfully dry when wearing this and I can re-apply. I would prefer this to be unscented however and the denatured alcohol (although I understand it is used to make his formula smooth and not ball up) is in there.
Would I repurchase?: Yes.
Dupe?: The Etude Soon Jung X Director’s Moisture Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ has a moisturising texture (albeit slightly dewier), (Swatches + Review HERE)
- Available at Yessytle: LINK
- The Boots – Soltan Age Defence SPF50+ (UVA/UVB protection), is just as lightweight (also slightly more dewier), (Swatches + Review HERE)
Available at Boots: LINK
My Skin Type: I am acne prone and have slightly dehydrated combo skin. My skin is usually tight where the cheeks and eye area is and the outer parts of my face. My T zone is oily. My skin isn’t a fan of thick/heavy formulas so I opt for lightweight formulas to prevent it from clogging up. My skin doesn’t like essential oils either and I try to avoid fragrance when I can.
