I bought this product after having tried a sample I received in the mail. In comparison, the product I received was a bit denser, heavier, and it went on with a hint of white (even though I was sure to by the exact same product that I had sampled). I will use it because I want the SPF 45 protection, but it makes me wonder if they put a better version of the product in those sample packets just to suck in suckers like me. :/
