What is the texture like?
This has a creamy, whipped texture that feels hydrating.
Is this scented?
This doesn't have a discernable scent.
What has my experience with the product been like?
As I've mentioned previously in my May favorites, I really love this sunscreen because it doesn't feel heavy but it feels hydrating. I love that it absorbs into the skin without leaving a film or white casting behind. I would say that personally the main barrier to me buying this constantly would be its price point but given that, combined with face oil, this gives me enough hydration and it's not as expensive as the rest of the line I might, at some point, purchase it.
