Was excited about this as I love this brand and thought they would do a good job with an SPF.I do like the added ingredients but no matter what I have done it won’t stop piling on my face! I have let my other skincare products dry into my skin before applying AND I have patted it in as it says to do and there will still be piling on areas of my face. It’s very annoying have to wait until your other products have sunk in to apply it and then when you do it’s a mess! 

I absolutely adore this sunscreen, I’ve been waiting since they first dropped hints that it was coming and it was worth the wait!! Even with oily sensitive skin I found this a dream to put on, I actually have a glow! The only thing is that I imagine if you use loads of heavy products before then it might not sit well, but I use a toner and a light serum and all is well!

Strangely, mine smells nothing like watermelon. It's not unpleasant, but there's no hint of watermelon, which is a shame. I've also been spoiled by the Thank you Farmer factor 50 sun cream - it's lovely to apply and leaves a beautiful glow. This is not so lovely to apply, I'm guessing because I'm used to a chemical SPF, and this is a mix of mineral and chemical. It sort of drags on the skin, and leaves a residue on my hands that makes me feel the need to wash them straight after apply. It does leave a slight glow, and I'm sure it's better skincare wise than Thank you Farmer, but I probably won't repurchase.

I would love this if you didn’t have to faff around with the application to stop it from pilling, which it will do if you apply it any other way than patting it on . Ingredients are great and the texture is lovely . It’s not the most easily absorbed either and you can’t just apply make up straight away give it 10/15 minutes to sink in ! There are other sunscreens I’d go to before this one but for ingredients and the lovely watermelon scent this is just ok ! 

Just wanted to declare, that this solely has dropped one star (wish it could be half a star) only because it is a hybrid of mineral and physical spf. I love how lightweight this is, and definitely suggest patting this rather than rubbing, it on each section of the face at a time, then allowing some time before applying anything on top. With this being said, I do love that GR has included Niacinamide in this, as it is such an incredible ingredient that works for almost everyone! Would recommend!
