Seeing this product hyped up by other skincare experts, I was excited to try out MakeP:rem’s sunscreen, noting its unique combination of chemical and mineral filters. This is a full body + face sunscreen, so the container is large, and so far I’ve found it perfectly appropriate for about 3-5 months of use (if used daily and repeatedly, though I will admit I rarely apply sunscreen every 2 hours as is recommended – though I also don’t get outside much anyways, haha). The liquid is runny and spreads across the body quickly, absorbing into the skin after a few gentle rubs. On the body, the sunscreen is transparent and sinks in easily. On the face, the sunscreen leaves a slight white-cast than turns into a slight orange-yellow crust after a few hours – so definitely wear this under make-up.

The Takeaway
There are so many wonderful ingredients in this sunscreen and its massive container makes it so tempting to repurchase . . . but that white-cast just isn’t what I’m looking for. If you’re fine with a bit of white-cast and don’t have easily clogged skin, then this sunscreen may be a DREAM for you, but as for me, I’m going to keep looking.
