This was one of the worst sunscreen experiences I've ever had. The cast on this is so intense and absolutely unreal. This was also so incredibly mattifying at first that it dried out my cheeks, but it was more manageable throughout the day. The website has a black model "wearing" this and they advertise it as having a minimal white cast, which is simply not true. A very unpleasant experience. Only get this if you're stark white and like a matte finish.
