I, too, bought this product because it received a "Paula's Pick". The after-application feel is too greasy for me to deal with on a daily basis so I end up NOT using this sunscreen, which defeats the whole purpose of buying an "excellent" sunscreen.

I used it on my face & neck & hand & upper arm, takes a good 10 minutes or so to dry off (absorbed). I do not buy into labels, the face has the same skin as the face.
Sometimes, it still feels a bit tacky, in such case, I will use a little silicone primer on top & followed with the foundation/concealer routine.
As for any chemical SS, I will not apply close to the eyes. This large tube is going to last for a long while. continued >>

In Europe this has "only" a spf on 40 but it is still the same product.
I have been using this sunscreen since the middle of may, almost daily. Been using it here in finland but also on my trip to Barcelona-Spain.
I have problems with acne, I break out if I use wrong products, not only on my face but also on my body. I can't use bodylotinons daily that will break me out. The same was it with sunscreens. But on the same time I have a lot of acnescaring on my upper back/sholders that I super easy get sunburnes and red. So many times I have to choose breakouts or redness. I have used a sunscreen from loreal that was ok but is now discontinued. Tried a sunscreen from Paula's choise that broke me out and also got a bad sunburrn from.
I was abit afraid to try this, the texture is thick and creamy and I like more gel type of products. But I got it and I'm glad I did! My HG sunscreen for the body now. I have use this and havn't broken out from this, and I havn't got a bad sunburn. Cliniques faceproducts also work for me so I'm glad that this also does that.
Like I sad the texture is thick and creamy but also adit dryfeeling. It does take a few minutes so go in, it is weigthless but I can feel something on my arm when touching it. This doesn't make me a sandman on the beach the sand doesn't cling to it, and it is easy to wipe away.
A friend asked me if you get a deep tan from this, but I havn't. I got some color. I missed a spot when applying it on my trip to spain and that spot without this sunscreen is now much darker then rest of my body that I have the sunscreen on.
Paula Begoun gave this a expensive paulas pick for normal to dry skin ( the spf 15 face/body is a pick for normal-oily). I have normal oily but it still works for me. She also sad that the face version is identical to the body version, and yes I have tried this on my face and it is ok. No problems.
The only reason I got the spf40 was that I put it on befor going to work very early and have it on all day. The spf number is how long it will protect you, not how strong/good protection. So maybe next summer I'm going to try the spf15 face/body version that is more light.

Best sunblock I've ever used!
I tried City Block, Neutrogena's oil-free sunblock and other products but by far this is the best sunblock that does not make my face oily!
There is no guk-ky feeling and no sticky feeling!
If you are looking for a good sunblock over your foundation, THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOu!

I like this, for a chemical sunscreen. Normally I like to use physical blockers for the best UVA protection (zinc oxide), and this one does not have it. But, I like to put this on my chest and shoulders if I am going to get incidental exposure during the day. Not greasy, no annoying frangrance (like Neutrogena Dry Touch has - yuk), and goes on smooth and creamy. No breakouts thus far. Would buy again. I think the Avobenzone is a fair UVA protectant, but not as good as zinc - but I will say unfortunately with zinc, you usually get a whitish cast or greasiness - or both. This is a nice alternative.

It is actually the same thing as the one for face except that this one doesn't have sea plankton extract while the face one does (I bought both, thanks to the pushy yet convincing SA). The texture is creamy and quite moisturizing for those with oily skin. For those who are on the drier side, I suggest to use some moisturizer underneath. I believe this one provides adequate and stable UVA protection, since the avobenzone is stabilized.

Love this! Was using the Neutrogena SPF 55 Dry Touch and I like this better! It goes on smoothly and does not feel heavy, greasy or sticky. It's the lightest high SPF cream I've tried. Very elegant formula contains antioxidants & is a Paula's pick. continued >>
