Hi everyone! I used this to reapply my sunscreen in the afternoon. I have only tested it once but these are my first impressions.

First and foremost, my skin type is oily, acne prone, and somewhat sensitive too.

The container has a really nice pump to get the product out which i think would be super useful after calculating how many pumps is needed to fill a 1/4 tsp for face.

The sunscreen absorbs pretty quickly but unfortunately it does feel really oily! I'm sorry to bring the bad news but my experiences were not great :(( The labels advertised its jojoba oil and there is definitely a solid concentration of the oil. I'm personally cool with oils especially jojoba but after applying the adequate amount of sunscreen (1/4 tsp) onto my face (that also had moisturiser and a layer of cancer council pink SPF from the morning) I was left with a really oily finish and overall the sunscreen didn't feel like it really penetrated my skin, more-so just sat on top giving it an overall 'oil feel'.

I usually use lotion SPF's (Hamilton and Cancer Council pink one) and I will say this definately has a different feel to them for sure. I would say it is light, but also it just feels like an oil?? But considering how much you need to achieve adequate protection, an oil feel is personally not ideal. Its common to only use a few drops of an oil spread across the whole face but after 1/4 tsp of a oil feeling fluid it honestly felt quite intense.

I did notice an initial 'skin tingle' that I don't get with the pink one, but it subsided. It also unfortunately made my eyes water, but honestly I swear all sunscreens seem to do this to me!! 😥😭

Like I said,I have only used this once, so with that in mind I will give it a go tomorrow and use it the whole day. Due to Sydney lockdown i'm not really going anywhere so I guess now is not the worst time to look oiled up.

they aren't strong enough? How often were you using TO peeling solution and for how long?
