This made my skin break out and always looked oily and felt sticky, no matter how little I use. None of these Prescriptives anti-age products are worth the money, imo. Plus the pump clogs every morning-yuk.

I had a terrible, terrible reaction to this product that left my face irritated, sore and inflamed. I don't mind spending money on quality products and have been a fan and devotee of Prescriptives entire line for at least 12 years. This however, does not work for me and left me visiting dermatologists and my esthetician repeatedly to correct the damage from three uses of the product. If you are sensitive, beware!

Nice lotion but extremely overpriced. I liked it but not enough to spend $60.00 for 1.7 oz. There are plenty of good moisturizers out there with SPF at a fraction of the cost.

I was excited about trying this because it's one of few skincare products out there that addresses aging from glycation, or the effect of excess sugar on skin. It also has an SPF of 25 and antioxidants, so it sounded wonderful. Unfortunately this fell very short of my expectations. I'm 21 and have almost no fine lines, but this seemed like a great preventative measure. Perhaps it's a lot better for skin that's more mature, but on me it just felt so sticky and heavy, like my skin couldn't breathe. I also found the scent to be offensive, and it really contributed to oiliness. It's a great idea and it's a product I may go back to eventually depending on how my skin changes and what others say about its long-term effects, but at this point it'll probably just wind up as yet another forgotten product.

This is my everyday moisturizer except in the summer. I like the UVA/UVB SPF 25. It gives my somewhat dry skin enough moisture but doesn't feel greasy and doesn't cause break outs. I have trouble with exczema and this doesn't make it worse since there's no fragrance.Wish it was a bit less expensive. I have repurchased.

I’ve been using this these past few days and I can’t say it’s worth the hefty $60 price tag. Good thing I got mine as part of Allure’s Beauty Box! Sure the SPF 25 is nice when most facial SPF protection moisturizers seem to have 15 SPF, but the slightly greasy texture of this stuff is not too nice. It’s not extremely heavy and shine-inducing greasy as some facial moisturizers I’ve tried, but it’s definitely one of the lighter, quicker absorbing ones. It’s just so so! I usually try to set this stuff with a light dusting of blot powder or mineral make up to reduce the shine. The pump dispenser design is great. Overall I can’t say I’m impressed with this product!

I like the combination of anti-age and sunscreen in this product. I wouldn't say it's a "light" moisturizer, but it's not overwhelming, either (especially in the winter). A little goes a long way. It works well under foundation, too. I haven't noticed any changes in my skin, but I think it's more preventative. The only thing I really don't like is the fragrance.

Was a bit disappointed with this. My skin is 'normal' with a tendency toward dry patches with weather change, and although very sensitive, I rarely break out. This is a somewhat heavy lotion (due to the sunscreen?) which I found highly fragranced. It has a lovely luminescent quality (glow rather than shimmer) which left my face 'dewy' all day. However, it was just too rich for my skin and caused breakouts that took over a week to quell... I do love the higher-than-usual sunscreen in this, but would bet it's better suited to drier skins that would lavish in its highly moisturizing quality.

this is supposed to be more of a moisturizer than a sunscreen. which is great for me because i have very oily skin and i can't apply a moisturizer and sunscreen separately or i'm just asking for a breakout. so far it hasn't given me one. and for the most part it doesn't make my face any more oily than if i were just wearing a plain moisturizer. i would like to find a moisturizer with a slightly higher SPF that also won't break me out, but if i can't find one i wouldn't mind falling back on this.

1/23/7 UPDATE: I have come to the conclusion that this product is way too expensive for what it does; however, I haven't found another moisturizer with sunscreen that does not clog my pores. It's not as though it improves my skin in anyway, and for the pricetag I expect some improvement. I will keep using this until Aveeno, PC or somebody else gets it together and makes another tolerable sunscreen. (Is that REALLY too much to ask for?!?) ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have been using this until my booty from Paris of LPR sunscreen arrives. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I wear this over my moisturizer, which is very light; if I didn't have dry skin I would probably wear it alone. It has a nice texture and has not caused me to break out. It's got pretty good protection for an American FDA approved sunscreen. I wouldn't wear it to the beach, but for under make-up it's really nice. I don't know about the anti-aging qualities. With preventative products its always a crap shoot, but it certainly can't hurt. As for the packaging, it is in a aluminium canister with pump on top--which will protect all delicate ingredients from going bad. I'm going to try it for a while as my regular daily, and see what happens. I will update in a few weeks.
