Great SPF product that moisturizes while it protects. Leaves the skin smooth and ready for application of make-up. It's NOT heavy and it's NOT greasy. Very light, very smooth in texture and silky. Does NOT leave that dreaded white mask like other SPF products. Never had a break out. Product is non-comedogenic. It IS moisturizing, so if you tend to have oilier skin than most, then this may not be for you.
Unfortunately, I have really sensitive skin and was made aware by my dermatologist that I needed to bump it up to SPF 50+. So, now I've moved on to La Roche Posay Anthelios XL + SX SPF 50.

I love this sunscreen! I've been using it for 3 years now. It's kind of difficult to find though. I used to hate putting on sunscreen but this is just great! It's not sticky and slimy at all. It's very light and it's waterproof :) It's great for daily use :)

I've tried so many spfs and so far this is a winner. What's even better is that I've received it as a gift so didn't cost me at all. The cream is a bit thick so I usually apply it on after a spritz of mineral water spray. It absorbs pretty quickly and my skin can actually breathe unlike so many other sunscreen lotions. I would definitely purchase this product again!! :)
Packaing could be better though.. I have trouble opening the bottle at times.

I LOVE this product!!! I can't live without it~
I use it everyday, and it's so light, you don't even realize you have sunscreen on!
And I have really oily skin and most sunscreens don't work well with me, but this one's AMAZINGGG!!!
A must buy!

That's strange that this sunscreen gets so bad reviews :(
I guess it proves how different we all are...
From my point of view this is the best sunscreen that I ever used. And I've tried: Lancome, La Roche, Shiseido, Olay, Maria Galland...This one is the least greasy of all, goes so smooth under foundation as if it's not even there. And the most important for me - it does't make my face SHINE as if I have 5 layers of oil on my face !
By the way, it is just 28$ US!

i purchase the spf 30+ plus after using the spf 15 during winter moths. actually it amazed me that the spf 30+ is less greasy than the spf 15. it goes on really really lite for my nor/com skin. it doesn't break me out at all. works nicely underneath my make up too.

This product is very greasy for my combination skin. The smell is too strong and the price is really too expensive. Now I use it on my hands, instead of my face.

Like any MUA'er, I take skin care seriously. So when I watched Oprah recently in what to look for in buying sunscreen, my former holygrail, DDF's Organic Sunscreen, was knocked off my HG peddlestool. I had to find a sunscreen that not only was a true SPF 30, containing a fair amount of zinc and tio, it had to be moisturizing for my sensitive dry skin eczema prone skin.

Yes...Cellex C Suncare 30+ is *not* cheap! Nearly $38 for less than 4 oz. However, this is a *complete* sunscreen with both chemical and physical sunblocks and it is very moisturizing. For me, this is a light weight sunscreen and so far, the Cellex-C has not irritated my skin and works well under make-up (SD Tripple Whip Base). I would not however recommend this sunscreen to anyone who is acne prone, break out prone and has t-zone problems as this suncreen is not an oil free product.

Although the packaging is very elegant (for a sunscreen) and I am experincing g no problems in using this product, however, I am on the fence about repurchasing this sunscreen due to the very high price tag.

I bought this sunscreen because I was looking for a high SPF with zinc oxide. I was already using Cellex-C vitamin C serum and decided to give the sunscreen a try. It was much harder to blend than any other sunscreen I've used and although it was easy to apply powder over it, foundation did not go on so easily. My main complaint is that it made my skin burn--it would sting terribly for 15 minutes after I applied it. It must be one of the inactive ingredients since I've never had an adverse reaction to any suncreen ingredient except PABA and Parsol 1789. My skin is sensitive to start with, and Retin-A and vitamin C serum have made it more so. I could hardly stand to apply this product, and the strong smell made it even more unpleasant. Since then I have tried several other high SPF sunscreens with zinc oxide and my favorites are MD Formulations and Vanicream. They don't sting at all, don't have a strong smell and are easy to blend. Although they leave a bit of a shiny film, like Cellex-C does, it's not a problem if you apply a matte foundation over them or a mattifying gel. (My routine now is Vanicream SPF 35, followed by Peter Thomas Roth Max Matte and long-wearing foundation.) Vanicream is also cheaper than Cellex-C.

I have Cellex-C Sun Care SPF 30 Broad Spectrum UV-A, UV-B Water Resistant Sunscreen. The active ingredients include micronized titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which provides great physical protection from UVA and UVB. I have sensitive skin, and I find that physical sunscreens (like this one) don't cause me to break out as often as chemical sunscreens (like those that contain Parasol 1789). I like the thinner consistency of chemical sunscreens, but this one isn't bad, and it doesn't break me out. It doesn't leave me nearly as white as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin sunscreen (thanks to the micronized ingredients). I use a cosmetics wedge to apply, which I find easier to blend than fingers. My tinted moisturizer and makeup go on fine after application, and it doesn't feel oily or greasy on my normal to dry skin. I'd buy this product again.

I bought this because it has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in it, and it _works_ really, really well: I barely get freckles. The downsides: you really have to blend it in well to your skin; plus it's expensive. However, I'm from a skin-cancer-laden family, and this stuff works well. Will repurchase.

I used this product religiously for several years in three different continents. I thought it was good as I didn't know any better, and didn't link it's use with my ever constant oil- glossed complexion! Also I had terrible blackheads and annoyingly persistent pimples. When I happened to look at the ingredients I realised why, it contains liquid paraffin and mineral oil, not good for oily , congested skin types, if indeed any. Furthermore, if I am spending 30 pounds or so on an spf I expect it to contain quality ingredients not nasty petro-chemicals which aggravate my skin. I now use good Japanese Spf's like ipsa and Kose's Rutina which don't block my pores and have far nicer textures.

Highly greasy sunscreen that threatens to break out upon application. Makeup tends to slip off after using this, whereas it never happened before with my Ultraceuticals sunscreen. I am forced to use it as a handcream before I go out - could certainly do without something so expensive - Banana Boat is so much cheaper and does the same job too for my hands. Does come in a convenient squeeze tube but so do most other sunscreens.
