The sunscreen itself is a milky texture and very easy to put on. Sometimes I worry I'm not picking up enough when I use the applicator but when I dab it on my face I can see the slight white cast and know it's working fine. There is, like I said, a mild white cast but it fades fast. This particular cushion is the only way I've been able to apply over my usual holy grail sunscreen which is a mineral-based one without things looking cakey or dry. In fact, someone told me I looked like I was glowing with this on my face when I fully expected to look like I was wearing too much product.

So, yeah. It's aesthetically pleasing on the face, it smells nice, and I haven't broken out from using it. From what I can tell, this is a physical sunscreen, not a chemical one.

I will repurchase this again when I run out.
