I bought this sun screen spray to apply over my makeup as a top up during the day and to set my face makeup. I usually wear another suncream underneath my makeup.
Im asian-tan skin.Very mild acne. Very sensitive and prone to hypermigmentation and sunspots. I wear suncream all year round.
Unfortunately my usual suncream had run out (I buy online as it's very difficult for me to find a reasonably priced suncream that doesn't leave a white cast or break me out) So I did not have an extra protection for about 2 weeks. My foundation has spf20 and then I was using this as added protection ontop.
PROS:
No White-cast
Easy to Apply over make up
Light weight
Did not break me out like other suncreams
Reasonably priced per ml compared to La Roche Posay/ Avene/Eucerine sun spray mists.
It did 'set' my makeup somewhat. And definitely did not seem to break me out. However, I do not feel I can't rely on this solely as a sun protection. The two weeks I had used this without my usual suncream, I developed hyper pigmentation on my forehead and 2 sun spots on my nose. I have an oily t-zone so I'm guessing this just sweated-off.
CONS:
Not Sweat Proof/waterproof
Runs out quickly (I had about 2.5 weeks daily use of 2-3 times a day)
Unreliable sun protection on it's own
Cannot tell if all areas have been sprayed properly as there is little/no wet mist.
You can't tell if you've applied it correctly. I spray it about 10-15cm all over my face and neck. But you can't really feel anything or see anything.
It's ok for topping up during the day over your makeup. But do not rely on it on it's own. It's a good concept, but the actual spa element could be improved. I will not buy again and look for alternatives.
