Great protection!
This goes on so well, not like most mineral sunscreens, all sticky. I would give it five stars but the shade is just a bit too dark to go under makeup.... overall fantastic sunscreen

Best Sunscreen for Oily Skin
I absolutely love this sunscreen! I have an oily t-zone and have tried so many other high end facial sunscreens that promise to keep me matte all day, but this one actually does! Also, it works great as a makeup primer and hides my unsightly pores in the process. This product also offers strong sun protection. Living in sunny Florida with fair skin and a desire to protect it, I wear this product every single day and it keeps me from burning and freckling, another bonus!

Very Best Sunscreen!!
I have used SkinCeutical SPF 50 sunscreen for 14 years. This product will not allow harmful rays onto your face and hands. I recommend using it on your hands to prevent brown spots, which are not really aging spots, but the effects of the sun. Your face will never have the slightest redness or burn if you use this very finest product.

Tinted sunscreen and base for foundation
I have very fair skin, so this product keeps me protected. Goes on very smoothly and a great base for top foundation or use alone as tinted sunscreen.

Makes you want to wear sunscreen!
I love both SkinCeuticals and Elta MD sunscreens. This particular sunscreen makes me feels as though I am putting on a shin-reducing primer! It is not at all greasy like most sunscreens. Perfect for layering on top of makeup.

Perfect for everyday
This is a really great easy everyday 3 in 1 product. It's a moisturizer, sunscreen, and light foundation all in one. Perfect for days when you don't want to wear makeup or have to be quick

LOVEEEEEE for everyday use!
I have oily skin so i LOVE this spf. makes my skin feel super soft and matte after application. I hate normal sunscreen because it leaves that oily greasy sensation and this doesn't do that! I put it on every day and i put on my makeup on after. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product The only bad thing i woud say is that there is a specific scent to the product.

Oily and Smelly
I so wanted to love this, but I found the formula far too oily for my already oily t-zone. It is also quite thick and didn't apply smoothly following my Stila serum. However, the most off-putting thing for me was the faint odor of what I can only describe as gasoline. The odor does not linger and isn't strong, but the odor combined with the other reasons compelled me to return it.

Disappointed...returned
This was disappointing and I ended up returning. I found this product to be oily and funny smelling. For the cost, it just did not wow me. I found that another drugstore product worked better and that product was only $12.

Return- item is gritty
I love SkinCeuticals, but this sunscreen is gritty. I have the liquid and it really protects my skin from the sun but the tube version has a completely different feel. I did like the matte finish.
