What do y'all think about the new formula?

You can't really call it a reformulation imo. It's a totally different product. I just got it in today and applied it over my existing makeup. So I wouldn't call this a review. Just some thoughts.

The Wonder Releaf is nothing like the Cica BB cream. It's much thicker and has a ton more coverage. Cica had a nice barely there feel. The Wonder Releaf is heavy on the skin. When first applied. I thought it was too gray, but like the old formula, it does settle. I'm super interested to see how this new formula feels and wears throughout the day. I do like that its 100% physical sunscreen. In a way that makes it less "cosmelogically elegant," but my skin loves physical sunscreens.

About me: very dry, sensitive skin with hormonal cystic acne. Very prone to hyperpigmentation and melasma.

I like how this new formula really covered my brown hyperpigmentation and acne. It definitely feels heavy and has an almost powdery look to it, but at the same time feels hydrating. I really like that tbh. That being said, I'll have to use more product to add dimension back in. So I don't love that.

There's truly no comparing the two products. I feel like they should have kept the old formula and added this as a fuller coverage option.

I'm curious to see if this will lead to closed comedomes since its so heavy, but it does have a lot of skin calming ingredients, so it might also be beneficial for my cystic acne.

I suppose only time will tell.

Will update after more wear.
