Reviews
United StatesI have been in such an uncomfortable place skin wise for a while when it comes to sunscreen. I’m neither particularly greasy nor dry but very dehydrated and easily get congestion. I always wanted to use mineral screen as I can’t tolerate what I understand to be the older sunscreen filters, plus I always found mineral filters somewhat calming. My favourite one changed formula after using it for years and it felt like an orange greaseball, not to mention it was far too expensive for liberal application 2-3 times a day. This sunscreen has just been so easy to work with, it disappears really quickly, experienced zero piling and whilst it has a slightly dry touch it still makes me look dewy.... I wouldn’t say it was matte (which I hate), nor would I say it’s greasy. My only negative is simply that for those of us who apply liberally 2-3 times a day face and neck this runs out very quickly (which is true for all sunscreens this size!!!) I wish it was bigger for the same price.
United KingdomFire. Absolutely fire. It’s moisturising but not greasy. It’s light and doesn’t make me all sweaty and stuff. And it’s GREAT value for money. Like can you see that VOLUME?! yeah love it. I’d give it 6 star if I could. (Tell the manufacturers I need a spray accompaniment too for topping up during the day pls)
GreeceFirst time using it and it’s a great great sunscreen. I highly recommend it It’s moisture great my skin and it's lightweight I can not even feel it while wearing it. It absorbs quickly too. I found Skin Library randomly and it turns out that it is a great company. Fast delivery and easy check out.They even sent me free samples and a handwritten note. I will buy again!
LithuaniaI thought that pilling and slight irritation were a given when using a chemical sunscreen, however, since I started using this SPF I realised that I just hadn't found the perfect sunscreen until now. The Keep Cool Soothe Bamboo Sun Essence is very lightweight when applied on the skin, has a kind of watery texture and no white cast. It is the most elegant sunscreen I have ever used and it wears nicely under makeup. It has everything that I could ever want from a sunscreen!
United KingdomI have finally found my perfect SPF - this feels incredibly lightweight and soothing, but offers enough moisture on my oily skin that I do not need a moisturiser underneath. The finish isn’t too dewy or matte - it’s very skin like. There is no white cast (though I am very fair), pilling or any of the negatives you find with many SPFs. Finally, it’s one of the only spfs to not break me out! Thank you Skin Library for making this easily accessible in U.K.! Service was amazing with some free samples and quick delivery. Will be purchasing again!
AustriaThis feels and looks so amazing on the skin, it doesn’t add a lot of dew neither does it mattify the skin, it's so lightweight. Zero whitecast! Blends into skin in seconds (using two finger method)
