I was so excites about this sunscreen. It's light and watery almost and spreads so easily--very little pastiness afterwards but sadly it made me break out all over my chin like nobody's business. I kept thinking it didn't have oil in it it couldn't be breaking me out but indeed the day after I stopped using it I stopped getti new pimples and within a week the old ones were dying down.
I Also must add the packaging is kind of sad looking a cheap blue bottle with an orange cap plus it's in a strange awkward shape that takes up too much space
Back to Murad!

This product was awesome. I have incredibly oily skin so I'm always looking for a sunscreen that doesn't exacerbate the problem, which can be quite the challenge. Not only did this not bring about any added oil, I think it may have been a bit mattifying. I didn't have to blot my face a bit and reapply powder until about noon. It felt very light and drying. Unfortunately, it broke me out. I loved it so much that I was just going to suck it out and keep using it, but I think it got worse. It was great while it lasted. Although, I did find a sunscreen that was similar to Shisedo and not as expensive. It’s the new Neutrogena liquid sunscreen. It isn’t as good but its close.

i have been using this sunscreen since last summer. at first i was afraid because sunscreens are usually greasy and break me out but this one is perfect! i wear every single day before i put on my face primer and foundation. it lasts a good while... i'm on my second bottle... soooo.. it lasts about 6 months or more...

This is my favourite sunscreen. It's lights, spreads nicely, has a high spf, and doesn't even have a scent. My skin is oily but after applying this it dries matte and my skin has a nice healthy glow. When I first started using it my sister noticed that my skin looked really fresh/dewy and actually thought I was wearing makeup! The only downside is the price but you only need a little and it lasts a long time.

Awesomely effective product! Comes in a squeeze bottle (the packaging's very mundane lol). With high SPF but it still spreads pretty easily and goes on pretty smooth, it's not cakey at all! By the end of the day, there's no crease, but my t-zone still gets a bit oily, but not as much as without using this product.
Pros:
- high SPF but spreads smoothly
- indeed very water resistant, normal activities and sweating would NOT cause this to come off
- feels light, does not make my face feels suffocated like many other sunscreens do
- pretty sure this can work as a primer, tho it doesn't indicate that on the bottle
- very good corrective properties: gives face bit of glow, makes blemishes less obvious, this product slightly improves the overall appearance of your skin
- makes my skin tone look lighter (this is a good thing for me while it may not be for others) without making me look pasty glue-white
- does NOT look gray by the end of the day like some other sunscreens
- helps with oil control
Cons:
- maybe bit TOO resistant?
- face still gets oily after a few hours, but way less
Pros way overweigh cons :D

Tried MANY sunscreens over the years, drugstore and beyond... But hated the greasy look that came with most of them, regardless of the cost (Clarins, La Roche Posay -- so disappointing!) But, since finding this one last year, it's become my top pick... Does not leave my skin greasy at ALL, protects it well (I spent a month last summer in Florida and my skin was soooo comfortable!) and doesn't lead to any breakouts. I have sensitive, rosacea-prone skin so I'm very picky when it comes to block. My standby used to be Clinique City Block but now Shiseido rules! And the packaging is sturdy enough for the beachbag but very hygienic. I don't head out the door without it... (And, in Canada, you can get it at SDM -- hello Optimum points!!)

This product is water resistant, which caused me to break out. Sadly, not for me.

I guess this sunscreen does a good job blocking the sun. However, I would not repurchase ever. It looks pasty and feels oily and takes a lot of efforts just to spread it over your skin evenly. I like the sunblock lotion made by Coppertone a lot better.

A really good sunblock for my face. It doesn't feel oily at all (even in T-Zone area) and leaves no white marks on my skin. I'll definitely buy it again.

i like this. its perfect for face and body and it gives a lot of protection, but just like the spf 30 one it is a little greasy and hard to get off, but that comes with all sunscreens i guess.

This is a good lightweight matte finish sunscreen, but for 100 ml, I sure paid quite a hefty price. it was almost 50$ canadian!
I'm pretty happy with it, even though the only broad spectrum sunscreen in it is zinc oxide, and my preference is to have a chemical broad spectrum block and physical at the same time, or at least 2 broad spectrum physical blocks. I'm going to keep trying to find a cheaper alternative but I'm really enjoying not being a greaseball under my makeup!
