It moisturizes well and I like the scent, but it stings my eyes.
It spreads easily! It smells great!! I use it after the cleansing lotion, then the lotion (from another brand), and finish with Parure Gold 24K Primer, then Terracotta Fluid Glow. Maybe because they're from the same brand, they go well together, the oil balance is just right, and they don't leave my skin feeling oily, so I'll probably buy it again! Abeille's cream feels a little heavy in the morning, so this lotion/sunscreen combination feels just right! I'm not sure how it will feel when it gets hotter, but I'll keep using it for now!
Since we both use sunscreen, I was hesitant to buy this, but since I was a Guerlain fanatic on Beauty Day this year, I decided to buy this one too. The scent didn't bother me that much. It's a light pink color and doesn't tone up my skin too much. It feels very moisturizing. It's a little pricey, but considering that it contains Guerlain's active ingredients as part of my skincare routine, I guess it's okay. After this, I apply Make Up For Ever sunscreen primer on top. It blends in beautifully. I actually wanted to try the more expensive Guerlain sunscreen, which costs around 20,000 yen, but it wasn't available on At Cosme.

This is my third one? I'm back! I love it because it spreads easily, isn't rough, has a high FPS, slightly tones up, and isn't drying. I was a little disappointed when I found out it had been renewed just a few minutes after I ordered it, as I wanted the new one.
