Love this product for general use and for when I am not in the sun too much. It has a yummy orangey smell and good teture that drys matte on me. If it had mexoryl I would give it 5 lippies.

This is very good. I don't like the smell, I wish they made an unscented version. It smells like a creamsicle. Otherwise it offers excellent protection and it doesn't make my skin breakout. I...
