this is an amazing sunscreen! im all about layering my skincare and ive tried many expensive sunscreens such as jan marini's sunscreen, skinceuticals sunscreen (ive used both their skincare systems. currently on skinceuticals), peter thomas roth sunscreen etc. this one outstands them all! ive got oily skin all year around and this one is perfect for me as its not heavy or sticky. its smooth, easy to blend in and most importantly - it doesnt break me out! :D will re-purchase this forever.

I'm not a big fan of layering multiple products on my face, which means that in the summer everything gets nixed for sunscreen. Until I met this product. This is the only sunscreen I am able to wear with foundation or TM (make sure the sunscreen in the TM or foundation you use doesn't make this unstable). It works as a great primer and doesn't bead or splotch even in hot weather. I wear on my chest as well if my shirt is cut low, and I haven't had any breakouts down there. I have dry skin and it is a little drying on the coldest days of winter, but the rest of the time it is fine. I am in love.

I am returning this product. I was told that this is a day cream with sunscreen. I noticed that my skin still felt a little dry after I put it on. When I read the packaging carefully, it said that this be applied OVER moisturizer. I am not paying $45 for sunscreen only when I can get a combination day cream with SPF. I was misled by the saleswoman, which is disappointing.

I love love love this product. It is a runny consistency but leaves the skin feeling silky smooth. A little goes a long way. It is awesome under makeup and can be used instead of a primer. It's oil controlling and supposedly helps your skin adjust to extreme climates. I like that it is SPF 40 and feel extremely lightweight. Definitely recommend.

D*mn this is expensive and yet worth every penny for me. It doesn't cause ANY type of irritation, breakouts, or greasy oil slick. It works as both a light moisturizer and primer. It helps my foundation go on even more smoothly and last longer. I think it is slightly water resistance because even when I perspire I don't find that it breaks down. Also, no white cast :)
It is a very runny liquid. The best way to spread this without using half the bottle is to make sure your face is slightly damp. I spritz water lightly on right before and it works great that way. I dab it on forehead, cheeks, chin and spread then go back and do around the eyes with a teeny bit more. Sinks in quickly.
Pricey, but def HG for me.

I really like this sunscreen, and went through 2 sample tubes before deciding to buy. It is one of the few that don't give me little bumps all over my face or feel think and pasty. It works very well under both mineral, liquid, and TM foundations. I use it for running too, but I don't sweat a lot and even when I do, I have no sign of any burns or even tan on or around my face. So for me, it works great. One of the small sample tubes lasted me 7 days, so for the amount I have to use, the full size will last me a long time. The price is well worth the zero breakouts.

This is a very sheer sunscreen that gives good sun protection. Initially, I was looking for a sunscreen for running and somehow got sold on this one. This is not waterproof or resistant. I don't sweat much when running, but this is a bit too light. It is a good day time moisturizer for the summer, too light for winter. Price is a huge negative.

I have normal/combination skin that is not acne-prone, and for me, this is a really nice, cosmetically elegant sunscreen. In texture, it's similar to Shiseido spf 60 lotion or Clarins UV Plus, but not quite as runny as either (this actually makes getting it out of the bottle easier/less messy). Feels silky and light, looks invisible on my light skin, and unlike the other sunscreens I mentioned, this one is unscented, which I prefer. The only cons I can think of are the price, which is ridiculous for the amount you get, and the fact that you are getting very little UVA protection with this formulation. Still, for me this is a good option on days when I'm not getting a lot of sun and just want to slap on something comfortable that won't make me greasy, dry me out, irritate my skin, or interfere with my makeup.

This is a great lightweight sunscreen for the summer. I don't know about winter as I have only had it two months and I bought it in June. I have oily, sensitive skin and this does not make me greasy or irritate my skin. It is suitable under foundation and does not give me any trouble when I apply different foundations on top of it. It may extend the life of foundation on normal girls but this has been a very humid, hot summer and on my oily skin really nothing has been holding up like it normally does. It does not have any negative effects on my makeup which is a bonus and not something I can say for all 'beauty' sunscreens. The consistency is a lightweight, slightly watery texture with a bit of slip, no shine and no white cast (although I am fair so it would be harder to see a cast if there was one). The packaging is perfect for travel-the bottle is very tiny and has one of those little balls in it to mix the product-but be forewarned the bottle is tiny. Hard to find such a makeup friendly sunscreen over spf 30 so it is a step above the rest in that category, and I love that I don't feel it on my skin. Does it regulate my skin in extreme weather conditions? Maybe for a couple minutes, but if you are outside and its hot, your face will get hot too. Not good for the beach if you are a swimmer as it is not waterproof.
