Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is that it's a mineral sunscreen. 159 reviews (32%) say they deliberately sought out and bought a mineral sunscreen, followed by 128 saying 'it's mineral, yet moist.' The context of using only mineral sunscreens because of eye sting comes up repeatedly.
Next is gentleness. Mentions that it's gentle without irritation appeared in 115 reviews, and the Olive Young irritation metric is also 73% 'gentle and low-irritation.' There are 49 whole-family stories of sharing it with parents, kids, or a husband. That said, these are users' own impressions, and a few reviews say they had breakouts.
Next come 76 comments about a slight tone-up, 68 repurchase stories, and 54 comments about little white cast. On the other hand, a fair number of reviews (91) say it leaves a lot of oil or shine, so opinions split for oily skin, and some say it lifts or pills when worn before makeup. A few complain that the manufacturing date was old when bought online.
These are counts of only those reviews, out of the 500 read, in which the expression appeared directly in the text. If anything, we undercounted rather than inflated — it's a minimum.
