It spreads easily. It doesn't dry out or irritate the skin. There's no harsh or tight feeling that is typical of sunscreens, so it's a stress-free application. I plan to buy it again.
I bought this in the winter and use it only on my face. When my skin started to irritate, I reviewed my skincare routine and received a consultation from a beauty advisor, who recommended it to me. I don't really like whitening sunscreens, so I bought this one because it has a milky, refreshing texture. I also liked the fact that it comes off with face wash. I ride my bike a lot and enjoy exercise, so on days when I'm outdoors, I usually just wear sunscreen and powder. This sunscreen doesn't stain my skin and provides a fair amount of moisturizing protection. Even at home, I use sunscreen every day, so if I have to wear sunscreen, it can be quite stressful, but this one doesn't leave any stress and comes off easily, so it's perfect. I haven't used it in the summer yet, so I think I'll need to reapply it then, but from winter to the current season, I haven't had to reapply that often. The 30ml bottle fits easily in my bag, making it easy to carry around. Kiehl's sunscreens are comfortable to wear, and I use this one the most, even on my days off and before applying primer, and I keep buying it. After using this sunscreen multiple times, I've found that it works well with any sunscreen primer and doesn't leave any flaky residue. It also keeps my skin moisturized all year round, so my skin's barrier function doesn't weaken and it's less prone to irritation. I use the entire Kiehl's line, so if I only use sunscreen on my days off, it comes off with Kiehl's face wash, so I don't have to worry about sunscreen.
It's a portable size and easy to use even for sensitive skin. Considering the price, I'm hesitant to keep buying it, but I'm grateful that I can use it when my skin is rough and I'm limited in what I can use.
It doesn't have a tone-up effect, but it's moisturizing and spreads well. It was easy to use even for me, whose skin tends to get irritated from sunscreen.
