Verdict

Rating: B+

I enjoy using this when I don't really have any breakouts. If I have a pimple, this dries the area where the pimple or acne scar is (because of my acne treatment) and makes it a bit flaky. This sunscreen feels a bit silicone-y when applied, so moisturizing foundations/BB creams wear really well over it, but not so much for the thinner, drier ones. I noticed that this makes my skin look a bit dry if I don't apply moisturizer beforehand, and if I do apply moisturizer beforehand the tint is basically gone. But it does control oil pretty well, which I find all these shake beforehand, liquidy sunscreens tend to do. Similar sunscreens I've tried is the Shiseido one (blue bottle) and a bunch of sunscreens that brands carry these days.

I've been on the search for tinted SPF lately, this would be great for people who have perfect skin, not so much for people like me, but I will use it up since it contains SPF on days I don't really need to look my skin is good.

Repurchase?

No.

Would I recommend it?

Not a must have, but if you want a tinted sunscreen this is worth trying

Verdict

Unfortunately, this ended up looking incredibly white on my skin, which looked kind of ridiculous even after I put my L'egere BB cream on it. I guess white is better than looking green, but it also didn't seem to correct the redness of my acne scars too much. Luckily I got this as part of a prize package, or else I would've been severely disappointed by the product. I am not sure what I'll be able to use this for, maybe as a highlight for my eyes or cheeks.

In short, unless you have porcelain white skin, this will probably make your skin significantly lighter. Considering my face is already paler than my neck because of the SPF moisturizers I use, it did not look natural or blend in with the rest of my body.

She had a small giveaway of Korean products and apparently I "won" by random.org

Innis Free Green Tea Pure Lotion samples (5 ml each)

Innis Free Green Tea Pure Skin (5 ml, it looks like a scrub?)

The Face Shop Black Head Ex Nose Clay Mask (50 g)

Hanskin Annapre Perfect Veil Luxury Makeup Base SPF 15 PA+ in Green (45 ml)

The packaging reminds me of the new SKIN79's Hot Pink BB cream, but of course with different colors. This is a makeup base that's supposed to brighten and even the skin tone, we'll see how that works out :)

Have you heard of any of these brands?

Let me know in the comments if you have heard of or even own any products from these brands, I'd love to know :)

I've only heard of Hanskin and The Face Shop, and not that much about them at that.
