"This one is fragrance free. The main complaint from what I read online is that people complain that it pills. So if you apply this over a full morning skincare routine, apply this and then apply foundation over it, it will pill. For me, what I found is if I apply this after I wash my face and apply a vitamin C serum and then apply this, it's enough for my skin when it's kind of humid out, without following up with tons of layers, then apply this and just set it with powder, and I don't have any issues of pilling. I'm pretty confident I'm applying it liberally. In here we've got zinc oxide, we've got some fructose saccharides which are sugar-based humectants, bioflavonoids, ceramide, and sodium hyaluronate, which is probably the cause of some of the pilling for people. Otherwise there's not too much else exciting in here. There's no tint to it."

"The tint on this product is much deeper in comparison to the iris and Romeo one so it may not work out well for you if you have a paler skin type but for me personally it's actually almost a little bit too deep"

"I don't know if it's good at all I personally like the original formula I thought it made my skin look really glowy underneath makeup and I feel like it set really well for me but I've also heard from people that they do not enjoy this sunscreen"
