Really disappointed in this launch. BGS doesn't make my favorite products (the kids one is amazing though), but at the very least I expect them to not have a white cast, but this one does. It's not terrible, but it's definitely present on me, mostly around my hairline but it's visible pretty much everywhere. It's not as dewy or greasy as the OG though, which is much appreciated. It also says this is fragrance free, but that's not technically true since there's lavender oil in here and I can definitely smell it. No eye stinging for me though. Overall, not great for me, but give it a whirl if you're lighter than me.
