Incredibly refreshing

避雷宝拉防晒，这比彩妆还毁皮肤的物理防晒

Avoid Paula's sunscreen, this physical sunscreen ruins skin more than makeup

虽然好用，但是这防晒难道不是像灯泡吗

Although it's good to use, isn't this sunscreen like a lightbulb?

Users are divided on the product; while many praise its glowy finish and hydrating properties, a significant number of reviewers report issues with a noticeable white cast, pilling, and a thick texture that is difficult to blend.

It's the smooth healthy skin for me🤩

I think I found the best mineral sunscreen with no white cast.

Leaves a slight grayish-white cast.

To make things worse, it started to peel, making layering things like makeup extremely difficult and in my opinion, not possible.

It has a horrible white cast omg
