I am absolutely loving this as a day to day physical sunscreen powder that I can wear over makeup and easily top up during the day without fear of getting in a streaky mess. It goes on like a very fine powder, and while I have found this version does mattify skin very well, it feels very light and not at all drying. For reference, I have slightly oily / combo skin that can react and break out to random products, and I have found it very difficult to find a sunscreen that doesn't clog and cause breakouts. I love LRP Anthelios spf 50, but living in the UK and working indoors, I don't feel the need to wear it everyday, and besides, I trying to fit a cream sunscreen / moisturizer / serum etc into my daily routine gets a little complicated! I love with this brush, I can just swipe over the top of my done face, and know I am protected with the added benefit of setting my.makeup.
The only slight cons (but nothing enough to lose a lippie) are that it could be difficult to tell how much product you have applied or when you need to top up, the brush can't be removed for washing (but its such a light, fine powder, the brush doesn't get cakey or anything), and it's fairly expensive for the amount of product you get (£ 23 in the UK). Nevertheless, its so convenient and good at what it does, I will definitely repurchase.

Was impressed by this sunscreen's performance: Didn't expect much as it seemed to give out too little powder (couldn't see it on my skin or see much powder on the brush). Until I fell asleep a good 20 min in full sun and during the hottest part of the day, and still didn't get burnt or tanned from it. It's pricey and as other reviewers mentioned, the brush can't be taken out to clean or replace, but so far no breakouts which makes it a winner for me. Didn't cake the whole day and gave a nice, matte finish.

Very expensive. Lousy packaging. Buy again? Hell yes.
This is a physical sunblock, so it's stable and there's no controversy about the ingredients. However, being a physical sunblock, it has titanium and zinc dioxides as well as mica (which can be issues for some skin-types).
I found this to be non-irritating, convenient, and extremely effective. Maybe it was because it was so easy to use and it didn't leave a thick, white paste... but I began actually using sunblock regularly! This formula also mattifies well and doesn't cake when being reapplied during the day.
If I could get a hold of the company, I'd tell them to make the brush removable. That way you could WASH it and eliminate any hygiene issues which would probably extend the expiration date of the product.

PROS: Finally, a sunscreen my ppp teen's acne-prone skin can tolerate.

CONS: Can't wash the brush, which isn't great for acne/oily skin. But that is what makes it convenient/portable; the powder comes up through the brush. Also...I can't knock it down to a "5" when I haven't found anything like an alternate spf that has absolutely NO tendency to break her out. Can't buy it a grocery store; have to get from Sephora.

ALTERNATES: When my skin is oily, I love Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 (leaves no oily film behind at all & doesn't bother my rosacea/sensitive skin.)

******This isn't the type that has color. This has no makeup/color. It is simply spf.*******
