Switched to this since my old sunblock (Shiseido Expert Sun Aging Protection Lotion) gave me a horrible white cast, and I didn't like how runny it was, which made it hard to apply. The Missha All-Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly. The alcohol in it doesn't dry out my skin too much even though my skin is usually on the normal/dry side. Have already repurchased another tube! :)
