This is my favorite sunscreen moisturizer from Paula's Choice. The Skin Balancing line is great for combo/oily skin. I have oily skin that occasionally breaks out. This works beautifully. It...

Good option for combination to oily skin. But you have to blend quick or you will have white streaks. Other con is that its not hydrating at all. So i recommend putting a serum under it.

Best sunscreen I've used so far. Sinks right in and becomes a part of you. Sheer, matte, perfecting.

This is my favorite warm month summer sunscreen when my skin is oily in the t-zone. It is very runny and you need to shake it before opening, IMO. It soaks into the skin quickly, dries with no cast...

I should have read the reviews before buying this. The texture is thin, but doesn't sink in quickly. It stings my face, smells like sunscreen, and is overall unpleasant to use.

The texture is lovely but it stings around my eyes, that can't be a good sign. I won't be buying this again.

This product is great for oily skin as far as coverage is concerned. It goes on nicely, keeps oil at bay, but also isn't too drying. It does work really nicely on my face, never breaks me out,...
