• Apply 15 - 20 mins before exposure to the sun
• Apply on all skin areas that are directly exposed to the sun
• Re-apply every 3 hours
• In the case of swimming, sweating - re-apply after 90 minutes

Product experience:

• The sunscreen is white in color and has a very floral scent.
• The texture of this sunscreen is thick and creamy and it absorbs pretty quickly. It does leave a bit of white cast on the skin but after blending it properly it fades away.
• Post application it does looks shiny but after that when it settles down on the skin it gives a matte finish.
• It is also loaded with questionable fragrances and ingredients as well like the parabens, sulfate, etc which is the reason why I will not repurchase it.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Availability
• Hygienic and travel-friendly packaging
• Moisturizing
• Absorbs quickly
• SPF 30 and PA+++
• Mild Fragrance

Cons:

• Leaves a little white cast on the skin
• Contains harmful ingredients
