I am very happy about this sunscreen. I have tried many, and this one compares to Vichy's fluid sunscreen, only better! Having 200ml for only $25 Canadian, this outbeats most of the other higher end brands containing so little in them. I can't believe I used to pay near the same price as this for the small Vichy fluid sunscreen. I prefer this one MUCH better in texture and final results. It has a good uvb/uva coverage according to Ciba sunscreen simulator. It's also stable, because the tinosorb stabalizes the other chemical sunscreens in it. I feel safer knowing that this doesn't contain a micronized physical sunscreen in it, because it would worry me how most other brands using mexoryl, such as Vichy, La Roche Posay, or anything Loreal would contain a micronized version of titanium dioxide (they don't tell you that on the label, but if you contact them they will tell you) along with their mexoryl formulations. Also, physical sunscreens are not meant to be together with the chemical ones in the Loreal, Vichy, La Roche Posay formulations since it decreases stability.
This sunscreen saved me from having to look like crap wearing my all natural non micronized zinc oxide 25%, which was nice knowing how safe it was for me, and getting total protection, but made my skin look so bad, that I would sometimes consider if aging a bit would actually be better than having to look that bad everyday when I go out. lol . But now with more hope after discovering this product from RoC, I am so happy! It is much smoother on the skin in texture than the RoC Minesol formulations, and I can see why, since in the ingredients they use dimethicone, a silicone, which helps absorb shine. Will definately be buying more when it runs out, but it should last me a while because of its 200ml size. My most favourite and best chemical sunscreen so far. Period.

I think this product may only be available in Canada(?), but don't quote me on that.
Pros:
-spray (convenience)
-perfume/dye free
-"non-comedogenic" (according to the label)
-nice consistency
-good UVA/UBV coverage using Tinosorb M+S
Cons:
-slightly shiny
-tacky for the first few minutes (this diminishes with time)
-a tad pricey
Price is around $26/200ml, but can frequently be found for around $19.
