I have very acne prone skin. But at the age of 40, I've got to be careful and I'm very fair. I love this product. We recently went on vacation and I was in the sun everyday. Love the convenience of the lipstick-like tube! No nasty taste/smell. Other lip sunscreens I've tried either don't offer strong protection or smell or cause blackheads on the sensitive skin around the mouth. I have to say that I seek out the chemical sunscreen combination of mexoryl/avobenzone and I like chemical sunscreen better than physical blocks. Even my daughter didn't mind me putting this on her.

This has been out since 2007? I thought for sure that it was a new product. I had never seen this before my SDM shopping trip last Saturday, where it was on sale for 30% off ($11 CDN + taxes). I'm a HUGE fan of the MAC SPF 50 primer but I take major issue with spending over $30 as well as the fact that it is sold out every summer and I'm tired of hunting it down. So when I spotted this, I was very curious.
I've been wearing it for a couple of days now so perhaps my raves are premature, but I can honestly say that I'm impressed. The stick format, (very portable!) the fact that it has an SPF of 60, the 'dry touch' finish all render this to be a fantastic sunscreen under makeup. I'm amazed that I'm not a greasy mess by mid-day. The format of this product is super convenient; I can just glide it on quickly (I have to work it in a bit since it does actually have a teensy bit of a whiteish cast to it...which I don't mind at all, at least I can see where it's being applied). It doesn't have the priming qualities of my beloved MAC, but it's not sticky, and not oily. Works well over moisturizer and under makeup. (Right now I'm using Revlon Beyond Natural, might be different under a less-matte formulation).
I may have to revise my review at a later date, but so far, this product is a true winner.
