PACKAGING :

As usual, Dot and Key nails it when it comes to the packaging . It comes in an outer cardboard box cover . The sunscreen bottle comes in a pump packaging which is good . Though the pump is bit tight which makes it a bit difficult to use , or else its good to go.

MY THOUGHTS :

Dot and key sunscreen is a physical type of sunscreen,which has zinc oxide present . That said, physical sunscreens do slightly give little bit of white cast. With this particular product, I take minimum of 6 pumps for just my face . If you try to blend it on your face itself , it is quite difficult and you will end up having too much of white cast. Instead what I do is blend it first on my fingers and then apply . This way I feel you will have a less white cast and blends easily. The white cast generally goes away 5- 10 mins later for me ( I am 128 warm nude for myabelline ) .

The texture is white and very creamy . I am a dry skin person , and usually Cleanser + Dot and key Sunscreen does the job for me. I can easily avoid moisturizer cause this feels moisturizing enough. Now ( September-October ) I really seem to like this one. But during the summer days , it gives a sticky feeling and I do have to set it with a powder.

DO I RECOMMEND ?

Keeping three things in mind , the price , the quantity and the result , I am not a big fan of this one. I think there are other sunscreens in the market for much lesser price with better results.

However if you still wanna purchase it , you wont regret . It’s a decent okay-ish product.
