This has been my sunblock for years. My dermatologist recommended it as I have sensitive skin. I use it everyday! It's light-weight and non-greasy. However, I'm not too fond of the spray as it can get messy.

Great UVB AND UVA protection (not the case with many chemical sunscreens).
This is a really good sunscreen, I am the one with the problem. My skin is ULTRA sensitive so I break out with everything, especially sunblocks (see Eucerin spf review). I bought this Avene and of course, broke-out so I gave it to my sister who has normal skin and it works beautifully for her.
Before giving it to her, I used in on my neck and hands and I loved the liquid texture. It dries up easily (of course with my skin it made me oily) but nothing compared to others I have tried.
It doesn't smell too much (I am very picky with this) and the texture is easy to apply but does not run.
If you skin is not as reactive as mine but rather normal, this is a great product.
Update 8/8/11: forgot to update before, had to stop using as it broke me out.

I have been using this as a daily sunscreen for exposed areas during summers at home - particularly the face, worn under makeup sometimes. It has not run into my eyes at all, a problem I have had with most other similar type sunscreens. It is non-allergenic and noncomedogenic which is a real plus. I spray it onto fingertips and apply to face like that. The texture is not bad, perhaps a little shiny but not so much that I feel like an oil slick. A dusting of powder sorts that out. Has a decent non sticky texture. Nice pleasant not overpowering smell. Would repurchase for general use - for holidays I use Reimann or Parasol one day application products.
