    This is my HG sunscreen for under work makeup. Price: Purchased a full-size bottle with a DermStore coupon code, so it wasn't too terrible. The price of this is more or less in line with other...

    Holy grail product for me. Not only does it prevent sun damage, but it also helped fade acne marks and uneven skin tone. This SPF has never made me break out. It feels light, fresh, and...

    Although I wish I could state that this is my HG sunscreen, this one has many components that make it close to HG status. It is a white, cosmetically elegant cream/emulsion that feels nice to...

    This does a good job of protecting me from the sun. I've tested it in hot sunny weather on the beach. However, it's not my favorite sunscreen of all time. PROS: 1) The formula is 9% zinc...

    This breaks me out. It says it's for acneic skin on the packaging. That's Bologna. This has coconut eyher in it-- maybe that's the culprit? Who knows. Eltamd physical is still the only facial...

    Feels really nice when you put it on but does flake/pill upon multiple reapplications. I don't put moisturizer on beforehand but i do do OCM (oil cleansing) so perhaps that's part of the issue but...
