Genuinely One of My Favorites Sunscreens in Existence
I use stick sunscreen around my eyes on a daily basis. It's less likely to run into my eyes and sting than regular sunscreen. However there can still be issues. Sometimes it still irritates my eye area, looks weird under makeup, pills, or (as with most mineral sunscreens) leaves a weird cast around my eye area. I was very pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen. It feels like very light weight balm that feels heavenly on the skin. It isn't sticky, greasy, and doesn't have a weird sunscreen smell. It's moisturizing without being too moisturizing, if that makes sense. Given the price point I am absolutely amazed at the quality. If you repackaged this sunscreen and sold it as a luxury product I would be none the wiser. This will be a new staple in my daily routine.

Good for on-the-go sun protection
This is a solid purchase because the compact size makes it easy to carry around. The velvety finish feels nice on the skin and blends in clear, which is great for all skin tones. It’s also quick and easy to apply.

I recommend this product for daily use
I recommend this product because it's gentle on my skin and works well for daily use. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, and it provides good UV protection with a velvety finish. Plus, it layers under makeup nicely and adds a subtle glow. The moisturizing formula keeps my skin hydrated. Overall, a great travel-friendly sunscreen that's non-comedogenic and suits all skin tones.

Great appearance but fumes burn eyes
I like the easy application and shear appearance. Slightly dewy look. I have been using for over a year but had to stop. Each time my eyes would become more sensitive to the “fumes” wafting off my cheek bones. Unfortunately I bought three sticks because I liked it so much, but now I just apply it to my legs.

Great Sunscreen for Daily Use and Travel
This is a really great purchase because I love how compact and travel friendly it is. The UV protection is effective, and it blends in clear so no white cast. The moisturizing and velvety finish makes my skin feel soft and radiant. Perfect for daily use, and I feel confident wearing it every day.
