As a runner, it is great to find a product that soaks in instantly and stays put through vigorous activity. However, that instant application also means that there's practically no time to spread the product around and you have to spritz quite a bit to get coverage. Spraying gently and closing my eyes, I can even apply this to my face without discomfort and have had no problems with excessive oiliness or breakouts. Admittedly, I do use this product more in the summer when I expect to be a bit shiny to begin with due to the weather in my area, but still a great product!

hmmm...i guess i am the only one who found the smell of this product to be so awful that i had to return it. i liked the fact tthat it is not creamy or greasy and that it is water-proof. i wanted a good sunscreen to use when i run outside, but i could not get past the odor.
when i returned it the sa told me that it never gets returned. maybe it is just my body chemistry..? i had hoped that the scent would go away after a short while but it did not.
i'm going to try the spf 25 spray next time. they didn't have it in stock when i returned this one.

*******update******
i figured out what the smell was. the product was reacting with the prostrong nail products i was using. the prostrong had this type of reaction with other products too.
i'm going to have to try this sunscreen again.

just for the record i have skin that will tan but it takes awhile and i don't really burn too easily but i am very light and usually stay out of the sun. also i am combo/sensitive/acne prone.
I went away for the week to puerto rico and brought this along because it is supposed to be stable. i tested it out for a little before i left and didn't break out too bad and knew i needed something on vacation. I have had really awful luck with both chemical and physical ss's breaking me out. I brought kiehls spf 15 spray (it has alcohol denat in it) to layer over my chin area over the neutrogena age shield spf 30(which i used all over my face). i thought the spray would make the neut. ss a little lighter so it wouldn't break me out but was afraid to wear the kiehls on it's own for fear that it might dry me out. I also wore my cory minerals over everything. I didn't burn the whole time i was there and had minimal breakouts. I only used on my face and used the NO AD spf 45 for my body which was greasy but i didn't burn at all. the spray is definitely very light and i might try again on it's own during the summer when i am a little oilier.
so overall i would buy again for the beach and vacations but don't plan on wearing ss on a daily basis cause they all break me out in some way.

I use Kiehl's Vital Sun Protection SPF 25 Sunscreen Spray, but there isn't a listing for that, and I'm sure that the SPF 15 Spray is just as nice as
the SPF 25 Spray. I am very impressed with it. It's one of the best sunscreens available in the U.S. It's great for my body. Easy to use and protects very well as it is stable. I have several sunscreens as I am a very pale PPP, and my friends (of all colors) reach for this one to use when we are hanging out by the pool. It's an excellent product. I don't use it on my face, however. So I'm not rating it for that use, just for body use FYI. I don't think it would work as well as a facial sunscreen.

Another great and inexpensive product from Kiehl's. I am in love with this product and it has become a staple for day time use. Great sunscreen protection and it doesn't make my oily acne prone skin greasy. Nor does it break me out. Woo hoo!

This SPF in a spray bottle is so convenient and easy to apply, that there are virtually no excuses for not applying your SPF! The spray lotion absorbs so rapidly and without stickiness. I highly recommend!

What a great product. It is easy to apply, and the spray bottle is a blessing on the beach when you don't want to get sand all over you while applying sunscreen. The mist is very fine and gives great coverage. Nice, lightweight feel too. And the bottle is adorable. I will definitely buy this year-round.

This is a good product, it lightly moisturizes and is quickly absorbed into your skin, leaving it very smooth with a healthy dewy-ness to it. Oil-free, light weight and is totally waterproof. You can spray it directly on your face/Body. The down-side is that if you spray too much on it leaves a sticky-ness to the skin, but pat it in and the sticky-ness is gone. If you decide to use it on your face, spray some on your hand and rub into your skin, because it can sting your eyes if you are not careful.
