PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Please tell me that I am not the only one that expects a Korean sunscreen called SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light to be, well, light in application? Especially when it is only SPF 30, something I usually see associated with cosmetically more elegant formulations.
