    I don't notice anything alarming about the product when I put it on- it smells fine, soaks in nicely and is a fine base for my mineral foundation over it. But i've noticed my face getting...

    I have been using this stuff for a couple years, and it's great. It is non-greasy and absorbs pretty quickly. It does not add another layer of "goop" to my face and works well for me over my...

    This product is everything I have been wanting in a facial sunscreen! It isn't greasy, in fact, it absorbs well without leaving that funky white cast to my skin. I'd been using Shiseido's SPF 55,...

    This product is absolutely terrific! They have done something to it and really improved it. Unlike before, it goes on to a semi-matte finish, absorbs really quickly, wears well under makeup and...

    This goes on smooth, does not smell, comes in a nice, efficient little tube, and is affordable enough that I feel like I can really slather it on - including my neck and chest area, which are...

    I like the fact that it's SPF45, especially in NZ where there's a distinct lack of ozone layer (you need to wear sunscreen even in the dark of winter). I've got combination skin (oily T zone,...

    I love that this product has a high SPF. I was in the grocery store (not in need of any moisturizer) but this caught my eye and bought it on a whim for 13$ (Canadian) because of the SPF (which I...

    This is a great summer spf lotion/cream. It is a lotion but it is a nice thick one. If you need extra moisturization like I do, you will have to use your regular moisturizer under it. The...

    I love that this protects against both UVA and UVB rays; I just wish it wasn't so heavy. It only comes in SPF 45 (I was looking for something with SPF 30, max) and it definitely feels and smells...
