"This one you kind of got to shake it up so that the product doesn't separate because otherwise you'll just get like it'll be very watery. So you want to shake it up so it's like a thick white liquid kind of thing. I found this to be extremely lightweight. Felt like nothing was on. It kept me matte but not like casket sharp matte. But also, I found that it wasn't hydrating enough for me. So, I would say if like you're someone I have oily skin, but if you have very oily skin, this might be better for you. Or if you're more on the normal to dry side, I wouldn't 100% rule something like this out because maybe if you have a favorite moisturizer you put on and then you put this on on top, you know, that's your prerogative. Just understand that when you layer products that not every product plays nicely with other products. So, for instance, you might use one moisturizer with this and it's fine and then you use a different moisturizer and then you put this on top and you notice that the product starts to like ball up on your skin. So, in cases like that, you know, be mindful of what you're layering with. Sometimes you might want to wait for the previous layer to completely dry before you put the second layer on to kind of mitigate some of that like peeling or balling up kind of thing."

"It's a hybrid sunscreen with zinc and titanium dioxide plus Uvinul A Plus and octocrylene, and I love hybrid sunscreens because the white cast is a lot more doable than an all mineral sunscreen. This product I adored. It's a super lightweight fluid, a color correcting formula with ultramarine pigments, and it spreads on the skin very easily without peeling. It's a fantastic base for makeup and it's easy to tolerate around the eyes, it doesn't cause burning or stinging there. It's an SPF 50 PA4+ sunscreen with hyaluronic acid, licorice root, panthenol, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. It does have alcohol in it, which can be drying, but overall the formula is fast absorbing, non-greasy, and allows good evaporation of sweat, so it's wonderful for a humid, hot climate and great if you have oily skin. In my experience it's not drying at all, even if you have dry or combination skin. It has a dewy to demi-matte finish and there's basically no cast for me personally, though if you have a deeper skin tone there's likely going to be some white cast, just not as striking as an all mineral formula."

"I put on that Sunplay sunscreen this morning and I'm really liking it. I just wish, like I said yesterday, that it came in a bigger bottle."

"This is a hybrid sunscreen with zinc and titanium dioxide mineral filters, plus uvinul A plus and octinoxate chemical filters, so a good spectrum of both mineral and chemical protection. For me personally there was no cast. The consistency is like a dream, no greasy residue whatsoever, and it's fantastic if you have facial hair. It has low molecular weight alcohol, which makes it quick drying and fast absorbing, great if you live somewhere sweaty and humid, but you'd never know it's in there since it doesn't smell of alcohol and isn't drying. It also has panthenol for the moisture barrier, a stabilized form of vitamin C, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate from licorice root for soothing. This is a fantastic option if you have very oily skin. Highly recommend this one, I have been so impressed with it. It's quickly become one of my favorites, I just wish it were in a bigger bottle."
