Is it an elegant formula for a sunscreen? Absolutely! It's quite unique to all the other sunscreens I've tried, eastern and western. It's pleasantly rich, without being sticky. More moistuizer like feel than a sunscreen, but I love that about it. I feel like I can just skim using a moisturizer and use it to fulfill the function of two steps. I'll conrinue wearing alongside other sunscreens to see how it stacks up in the long run.
