Sensitive Skin Friendly
I have very sensitive reactive skin to many sunblocks and this one is the one seems to be ok with my skin. It does make me look more shiny, but for days outside with safe protection I’ll deal with the extra shine.
Report this reviewSuper easy to use
Very smooth application. Great for daily use. Does not feel greasy or break me out at all. Love this sunscreen!
Report this reviewIt’s ok
Leaves a white cast but overall it’s ok and does the job. I didn’t break out from it so that is a plus.
Reviewer of the Month
Love love love this SPF
This is my go to SPF. My one and only. In the summer, I love to be outside working in the yard all day long, but am very careful to keep my facial skin well protected. This SPF has never left me down. With a hat and this SPF, my facial skin has never gotten sunburned. I do apply regularly throughout the day just to play it safe. I have problems with SPF bothering my eyes, making them water and burn. I have never experienced that issue with this one. Besides this superior protection during the times of hours outdoors, this SPF is also my favorite for everyday under my makeup. It applies easily, absorbs into the skin and acts like a primer for my foundation. I have experimented with other SPF's, buying those sample kits of various SPF, but nothing compares to this one.
Report this reviewGood
Nice that it has no scent! Kind of chalky texture, takes awhile to blend in.
Report this reviewLowest scent sunscreen I've found! THIS IS THE ONE IF YOU HAVE FRAGRANCE ISSUES!
I've had trouble with how fragrant most sunscreens are-- even ones that are supposedly 'scent-free'. They can trigger migraines on a bad day, and are just irritating on a good day. The scent can linger on clothes, towels, people!-- you name it. I went through the major popular expensive trendy brands here and elsewhere, and this is the lowest scent sunscreen I've found. Yes, it can be drying like the other reviews say, but I layer a generous moisturizer underneath, and it works fine for me. WORTH IT FOR LOW SCENT!
Report this reviewleaves a bit of white
i have dry skin and this made my dry skin more visible by clinging to any dry skin
Report this reviewHoly grail sunscreen
My skin is highly reactive and I have struggled to find a daily sunscreen that my skin can tolerate. This sunscreen is my holy grail! The white cast is minimal and disappears within a minute as long as I take the time to rub it in.
Report this reviewThe only sunscreen I use on my face
I bought this about 2 years ago when I got pregnant and switched to physical sunscreen. I have continued to use it even though I'm no longer nursing because it is lightweight, easy to apply, leaves no white cast, and layers really well under all kinds of makeup. No complaints and thank goodness my search for a face sunscreen is now over.
Report this reviewNot for dry skin
I love that this sunscreen is fully physical and does not have a white caste, but other than that I don’t like it. It’s very drying on my skin, and makes it feel tight. I have normal to dry skin, and am prone to breakouts. This doesn’t break me out but the dry feeling will keep me from repurchasing it.
