Watery SPF 50+ that disappears fast; the alcohol can sting sensitive faces.

What the community says

A watery gel sunscreen that dries down fast and layers cleanly under makeup. Best for oily or combo skin that wants no white cast and hates heavy formulas. Dry, reactive, or eye-sensitive skin often hates the alcohol and fragrance.
