This may be the first Glow Recipe product that I didn't really love. It's harder to apply than a lotion- the lotion I can spread around and know that I got it everywhere. I'll swipe this stick all over my face and then try and spread the product around. It feels stickier. It does give the dewy-glow though. I now have one breakout on my cheek and I wonder if it's from this, because this was the only change to my routine.
Also, because it's a stick, it's not really share-able. I don't want my friend to ask for some sunscreen and then swipe this stick all over her face, too- that just feels icky.
The old sunscreen was way better. However, this is a good option if you're worried about whitecast, because there will be none. As I understand it, this is why Glow Recipe discontinued the old sunscreen. Whitecast was never a problem for me personally using the old sunscreen.
I see others complaining about the packaging, and how there's a lot of wasted product, like at the end of a lipstick tube. I've only used it for like a week so I haven't made it that far yet, but the other reviewers are probably right about that.
Glow Recipe- it is, in fact, okay, to carry more than one sunscreen. Just because you made a new product doesn't mean that you needed to get rid of the old one. This way, people can have options depending on their preferences. Bring back the old sunscreen, please.
