My Review:
This product was nice, but confusing. When I read the name “Essence Light Sunscreen,” I was expecting something fluid and lightweight. Instead, this is a fairly dense and dewy formula that wasn’t lightweight on my skin. It is more on the moisturizing side and has a fairly strong “sunscreen smell.” However, it didn’t sting my eyes (it definitely could though) and, unsurprisingly, has no white cast, so that’s always a plus. I do wish it was PA++++ but I KNOW I’m picky. Overall, a pretty nice formula with high protection, but if you’re looking for something fluid and barely-there like an essence, this isn’t for you.
My Rating: 2/3
