What the gurus are saying

One expert found this sunscreen delivers on hydration and breakout prevention without flaking, and praised its fragrance-free formula with no harsh alcohols, though she suggested using it mainly in evening routines rather than under makeup due to certain ingredients. Another reviewer simply did not connect with the product. The takes here are quite limited, so there is not much consensus to draw from yet.

"They say it's your first line of attack against breakouts, blackheads and dark marks, it helps to reduce redness, spot size and minimizes future breakouts and it's actively hydrating so it's kind of for your skin barrier. It won't flake or peel so it works seamlessly under makeup. I agree with most of that. I wouldn't use it under makeup if you can help it, I'd more use it in your evening routine, that's because of some of the ingredients. In terms of drying types of alcohol it does not contain any of those. In terms of fragrance there's no fragrance ingredients. It has almost like a little bit of a licorice scent when you apply it and then it dissipates."
