This review is referring to the product before it has been reformulated in 2010. I bought this because I read about its high protection and I was starting to notice that my previous sunscreen was...

This sunscreen worked very well on my super-sensitive, acne-prone skin. It absorbed well, left a nice finish without making me greasy and wore well under makeup. It didn't break me out, which is...

I don't really like this stuff. The smell is very strong (it fades, I can live with it for 5 minutes until it does) but it also STINGS my face. I also find that stinging goes away, but it is...

I wish I didnt have oily breakout prone skin so I could use this ss everday. It is too heavy and shiny for me, but would be a great avobenzone free ss for anyone with dryish type skin. The quest...

Isn't odd how differently products work on different people's skin? I had high hopes of this after reading the reviews, but it just does not work for me at all. It's extremely thick and creamy....

I received a free sample of this with my tubotica order. It contains Tinosorb M and Tinosorb S. It has a nice, fairly matte finish. However, I hate the strong fragrance. If it was unperfumed, I...

This is the first high PPD sunscreen I have tried that doesn't leave a white cast and is easily matted down. Hopefully I won't be breaking out at the end of the tube. Update 12/13/05 - This is...

Well , I have the version that says "matifying" instead of the one that is for mixed/oilyskins which I have also tried , but is rather oily for me. I think this is misleading as I don't find the...

It claims to be oil free and non-comedogenic but it still promote more clogged pores for me. Texture wise, it is very easy to spread. However, it makes my face shinny. It is less greasy and...
