Round two.

In April we sent our first samples back with two problems. The finish was shinier than our old favourite. And you could smell the sun filters.

We said we'd write again when new samples came. It took longer than we wanted.

The new tubes finally arrived. We tested them the same way: bare skin, then over moisturiser, then under makeup. Same arm, same room, same light, with our old favourite next to it.

Both problems are fixed. The finish now settles like our old favourite. Rub it in, wait a few minutes, and you can't tell which arm has which. And the smell is gone. Not covered with perfume — gone.

So this formula passes — for us. But our approval was never the test. Next come testers other than us. And a lab running the same tests the big brands run.
