Edited 6/11: I ended up throwing this out and I only used maybe 1/5 of it. Something in it is sort of like the consistency of "Some Kinda Gorgeous" by Benefit -- leaves a weird, candle-wax type...

I have worn SPF for years and this is the first one that burnt me. I'm very disappointed as I really like the coverage and skin balancing.
