I can't believe the row ratings on this (and also the lack of reviews) This is on par with Shiseido SS. It goes on smooth and leaves your skin looking pretty matt. It has that super smooth "cone" feel to it when applying but a little less so than the shiseido ss.
I really like this, I also like that this isn't a thich consistency, it's milky so it absorbs faster and feels lighter on my face.
Definitely on par with Shiseido ss, if you like japanese ss, this is pretty darn close!

Goes on super smooth and is very light. Makes me a bit shiny at first but I put my foundation on afterwards and it seems to calm down after a few minutes. I don't have to use much, but seems like the bottle is pretty darn small. So, far I have not broken out. It's only been a few days though, so I will see if it causes any issues after more days of usage.

I really love this sunscreen! It is a high SPF, it makes my skin feel great (I love the texture). Would repurchase again, it seems to work really well and gives me peace of mind that my skin is protected from the sun! Nice milky texture.

This product gave me cystic acne. I thought this product would be wonderful. Its super light, has no scent, and seems to absorb quickly although its not terribly moisturizing. And, I have to say, it protected my skin from the sun like nobody's business.... I actually can say that my freckles and dark spots were fading away thanks to this stuff. HOWEVER, I started getting super awful cystic acne. Like, as soon as one was gone, another one appeared. AND the acne left scars and dark spots that, a month later, still have not faded. So, while it caused freckles to go away, it caused acne scars and dark spots to appear. And I know that this stuff caused it because as soon as I stopped using it, the acne stopped too, and I have reduced my acne medication (clinique) by 1/2. This stuff is terrible and should seriously be reformulated.

I admit: I bought this sunscreen because Lancome was running a gift with purchase, and I figured for the price (the same as Anthelios), I could get lots of goodies in addition to my sunscreen. Decent UVA and UVB protection, why not?
Bad move. Within a few minutes of applying, my skin starts to burn and gets irritated. It got to the point where I had to wash it off because it was so uncomfortable. (NB, this was before I switched work locations-- so before the environmental assault I'm currently under. Not that anyone is tracking my review history that closely! But, two unrelated events). I had similar problems when I tried a sample of another Lancome moisturizer (after I stopped using this sunscreen). Something in Lancome skincare is not agreeing with me, unfortunately, because I really used to love Lancome products.
I found I can tolerate it on my hands and chest-- although this is really a very fluid formula, nice for the face, less good for the body. I'm sad I wasted over $30, and the gift with purchase wasn't even that great.
The good facets: it is very lightweight, absorbs easily, and doesn't seem to interfere with makeup. It's not greasy, either. So, in theory it seems like it could be a great daily sunscreen. My skin just doesn't like it.
