Cast on me:
3 (Intense white cast on me, best for light skin tones)
This may be the worst sunscreen I've ever tried. First off, this isn't a cream. It's an incredibly thick butter (I just didn't have butter as a texture option). It's very heavy and is DEFINITELY made for dry skin. It did leave a stark cast on me, and applying it wasn't my favorite because it's so thick. On the plus side, it's VERY moisturizing and has a cocktail of brightening and exfoliating actives in here (including AHAs and PHAs). I think this would be great for people with much lighter skin than mine who suffer with dry skin and hyperpigmentation, but it wasn't for me.
