This is a really nice formula. It honestly feels like a moisturizer going on, and it's not super heavy on the skin. It definitely has a glow to it, but it's not greasy in the slightest. No eye sting for me really, but it's definitely possible. They did PA testing on this for UVA production (which I love). They also included a vitamin C derivative that can theoretically help to brighten the skin over time. For a US sunscreen, this is pretty nice.
