I bought this as a sunscreen reapplication during the day but I was quite disappointed. The formula is light and does have the "mattifying" effect, yet I don't think it suited my use. I have to mention that I wear makeup (including face powder), and the reapplication felt like topping my makeup and sometimes peeling. I stopped using the stick after new breakouts, which I believe could be due to the occluded makeup + maybe dirty reapplication (I would recommend having an alcohol swab/spray to clean the surface after application). Might give it another chance with the recommended suggestions.
