This product is really convenient and easy, perfect for throwing in your bag. The only thing I really wanted to mention is that alcohol is definitely NOT in the formula at 70%. The 70% is referring to the concentration of the alcohol solution, not the percentage is has in the over all formula!

I really like these pads. They are easy (and dare I say, fun) to use, the sunscreen absorbs quickly and I don't break out. No greaseball 6 hours after the fact (big bonus). I knocked off one lippie because I was never entirely confident I put enough sunscreen on - lack of sunburn after use never made me confident during application that I got everywhere I needed to get. They are also pricey. I'll stick with the Shisheido sunscreen for the money.

My HG sunscreen for face. I have problematic skin (VERY sensitive) and no matter what, i always burn through reapplied sunscreen. These are great, can cover my entire face (2 pads per day of sunning) and I have no burn whatsoever. Only giving it a 4 bc of strong alcohol smell upon first application. Pads are too little to use all over body (would be a waste to use!) but for face, it rocks. Highly recommended, make sure you have a high tolerance for the smell at first!

I am combo skin. And I like these little pads. My skin is somewhat oily so the alcohol does help that a lil and it has helped clear up a few lil breakouts also the idea of these is great. It also has vitamin C that I swear is making my skin more GLOWY. But these do sting a lil when first applied and also they do make your face look a lil oily after first applying both of these reasons are why I gave it 4 instead of 5. But I dont think anyone should be turned off by these w.o trying them first!

The high alcohol content can be a problem if you have dry skin or oily skin that tend to over produce oil when alcohol is used. I also wish my skin didnt look so oily right after use. But the one thing I do like about this product, unlike other sunscreens that tend to leave a gray film on my skin (I have brown skin) this product is very clear and leaves no zinc mask behind. While this wont be my HG nor will I use it everyday (switch with Dr. Brandt bronzer SPF 30) this isn’t a bad product. Use with caution if you have dry and/or sensitive skin though.

Ouch! These pads are soaked in a solution containing 70% alcohol. The alcohol is the first thing you smell when you open the package, and the first thing you feel when you wipe them on your face. The immediate stinging and burning was so bad I had to rinse off my face! Later I tried another pad on my chest, thinking that the skin there might not be as sensitive. It still did sting a bit, but worse, the solution is extremely drying! Like wiping nail polish remover on your skin. Portable SPF 30 pads are a great idea, unfortunately this product was badly executed. Stay away!

Received samples of the wipes. This claims that it is great for sensitive or problem skin. The problem? It is 70% alcohol. Also, whatever you apply before this (moisturizer, serum, etc) is wiped right off. Rubbing a product with that much alcohol on sensitive skin cannot be a good thing. That said, it might be great for those with oily skin who don't need moisturizer. Fragrance free. Could be pricey if you were to do your face and body with this as it would take more than one pad. 60 pads for $30.00.

Ingredients: Octinoxate 7.5%, octisalate 5.0%, oxybenzone 6.0%. Acrylates/octylacrylamide, ascorbic acid, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, cyclomethicone, hydroxypropylcellulose, PEG12, dimethicone; SD alcohol 40-B 70%.
