I've only tried some samples of this so far, but I really like how this stuff is working. I'm a novice on the sunscreen topic, though. I'm also not sure if this stuff is photostable - it says it has both chemical and physical sun screening properties, plus UVA and UVB protection.
Anyway, this stuff has the lovely cream base that the Tx Night Formula does. Even though I have oily/acne-prone skin for the most part, this stuff doesn't make my feel feel greasy or clogged. It's relatively moisturizing by itself, so I would imagine that any skin type that isn't super dry would be able to skip a moisturizer when using this.
I took a point off for some of the ingredients. Oxybenzone is supposedly absorbed into the skin much more easily than other sunscreen ingredients, so some people advise caution with using it. I'm also not crazy about the alcohol, corn oil and paraben ingredients this contains. I'm not sure if it contains other things that are "bad" for certain skin types or what. I'm just a little disappointed that this has some crappy ingredients...I really liked it besides that. I'm not sure if I would repurchase again at this point. I probably will if I can't find anything better to use.
