very thin [SEP] once you squirt this out it is quite thin i put it on the back of my hand and rubbed it in easily it left a sheen on my skin even after i washed my hands not sure how well this will work in the sun i burn easily and i will be applying this fairly often especially after being in the water i try not to stay too long in the sun because i am fair skinned and have already had about skin cancers so it is a must for me to use products like this that is also good for my skin and makes me look better
