Has not irritated my skin so kudos there. I feel it is very protective so a plus there. But it is tinted lavender which is kinda of a "Woah" when 1st applied, then it sinks in and does minimize flaws for me which is another good thing since makeup is hard to wear over this 1. Have noticed some flakies with this or Obagi in general but I hoping that dissipates with continued use and it may be drying me (but could also be a weather thing since it is finally chiilling down in the deep south). I want the glowing results others noted so I will give this a fair shake.

Extremely drying to my normal/combo skin. Contains alumina which is drying. had to stop using it after a week. I paid $40 for this and could not return it because it came from a spa. I can, however, use it on my body, but I will not re-purchase because it was intended for my face. This is a tinted, physical sunscreen with about 14% zinc oxide and 2% titanium dioxide. The tint is sort of pale lavender and the color does not show up on my pale, rosacea prone skin at all. The result is clear after it is rubbed in. I felt a pulling sensation all day when using this sunscreen and after several days my skin was peeling. Note: I use Retin A (very low concentration of .025 twice per week). . It is highly recommended but, for OILY skin only! There is no stinging or burning. This product is easily removed with a makeup remover.
