This formula isn't bad, but I don't love it. It has some filters that aren't approved in the US which provide good protection, but they leave a slight cast which I can see. You'll only notice it if you're fairly dark though. It feels a little mattifying on the skin, both from the filter choice, lightweight emollients, and additional mattifiers, so you probably want to steer clear if you have drier skin. No eye sting though. Overall, not bad, but not great for me.
