Thoughts: The box of sunscreens came at the perfect time. I was almost close to finishing the previous sunscreen. This gave me a good chance to check out derma e sun care products.

Here's a closer look at the opening.

Here's a swatch of the product on my hand.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly, the packaging is nice. I have mixed feelings. It might be because I got a bad batch. I love the color combination. It's so pretty, and reminds me of spring and summer. The thing I did not like is the sticker on the container. It's coming off like no other and it came that way. I wished they made sure everything was in good condition before sending. With that said. it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of plastic. The lid is also sturdy as well. I can feel a tight seal, as well as, a clicking noise when I push open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse and bag. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and medium. It's not too thick that's it's hard to apply. It's also not too thin that it runs while applying. It's a good consistency. With that said, it's easy to use. I squeeze a quarter size amount and apply onto the face, neck, and ears as the last skin care routine before heading out. Yes, you should apply onto your ears. Your ears get tan as well as or in some cases get burn. It's that easy. Thankfully, it doesn't give a white cast that I get a lot from American sunscreens. Even though there's no white cast, I can tell it doesn't get absorbed into the skin. It lays on top. You can feel it while massaging, as well as, later. When sunscreen doesn't get absorbed, you know it covers the skin and only protects the outer layer. You need a sunscreen that protects inner, as well as, outer that's why it's called UVA and UVB. The skin will glow from the shine, as well as, I can feel some residue. It's hard to explain. You know when you exfoliate your skin with Asian peels/exfoliates, you can see dead skin. That's what I feel like when I massage this particular sunscreen. I have never experienced this with any sunscreens before. I don't know if it's because I apply too much, skin is dry, or a mixture of things. The next time I applied less and I still got the same result. Even though I got the same results, the skin looks healthy and soft. It does not leave a greasy, sticky texture. Lastly, I'm glad I got to try this product. It's an alright sunscreen. I wouldn't say it's the best I have tried but it's definitely not the worst. I like everything about this sunscreen except for the residue that it leaves. I just think it's odd. I also tried looking on the website and I could not find this sunscreen whatsoever. I'm guessing it's discontinued but it could also be sold out.
