What the gurus are saying

This milk creates a visible lightening effect on skin, a quirk some people actively seek while those with deeper skin tones might find it a deal breaker. The silky, weightless texture draws consistent praise, and it resists sweat and water well. However, it can pill when layered (though patting rather than rubbing helps), and reviewers found it too drying on combination skin in winter; it also contains fragrance, so those sensitive to scent should look elsewhere.

"Anessa is really one of the bleeding sunscreens in terms of technology and things like that. Um a lot of their sunscreen is formulated so if you get sweaty, if you're out and it's hot out, uh the sunscreen actually ends up starting to work harder versus sunscreens where you get sweating, they start to uh get reduced in terms of how efficient and effective they are."

"This is a hybrid sunscreen, pairing organic and inorganic filters, so there is some white cast, but it applies very smoothly, feels soft and even to the touch, and gives a matte finish rather than the dewy finish I expected. I was able to take it close up to my eyes without stinging. While applying it I noticed a lightening or tone up effect on my already pale skin, which I'm personally not a fan of, though I know some people actively look for that effect; if you have a deeper skin tone you might find it a deal breaker. Another issue I had was pilling, which happened even with my regular routine, though patting it in rather than rubbing helped avoid it and also slightly reduced the tone up effect. The filters used, in combination, offer broad protection against UVA and UVB, though I personally prefer formulas without zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. I was impressed by the initial smooth application and especially the finish, but I found it way too drying on my combination skin in winter, and it had a tendency to pill on me when layered. As it offers a good selection of filters and claims to be sweat and water resistant, it might be a great option for the warmer months, but you have to be aware of its tone up effect, which made my already pale skin look even lighter and might be problematic for those with a deeper skin tone."

"I've got to say I get why this is popular but honestly if you're allergic to fragrance just try the skin Aqua super moisture barrier UV gel or the Nivea one"
