I found this sunscreen quite greasy even I have dry skin, I used it as a base moisturizer before applying my foundation, which is not bad but I don't think I will purchase again

My HG sunscreen! Sunscreens always tend to feel uncomfortable and thick on my skin, and most break me out as well as irritating my skin. This sunscreen is so comfortable on my skin, and also it is very moisturising and has a brightening effect when I put it on. So far it has not caused any clogged pores or acne so I am very happy with this product. The size is also quite big (60 ml) and will probably last me a very long time. Will repurchase!

This is a superb sunscreen. It is scentless and goes on very light. Does not leave a white sheen on the face. A little drop is sufficient for the whole face and neck. Love it!

I don't know why this hasn't worked out for me as well as its had for the others. Most high end or drugstore brands give me small pimples when it's not suitable. But this particular one gave me deep large acne on my cheek, forehead and chin. Unconvinced it was the problem cos it was so raved about, I tried to continue using it thinking that somehow maybe the acne was just an adjustment issue but the acne got worse and I gave it up. I'd since switched to BB cream which doesn't give me problems. I don't think kiehls quite worked out for me.

I have sensitive roseaca skin, to top it all been typical fair skin British living in Australia, I really needed something to help protect my skin from the harsh Aussie sun. After trying different brands that either left the white glow, (which lets face it, I don't want to appear ill), to just dried my skin out making it flaky, or just flared my skin up, or a combination of all of them!

I found this sunscreen to go on well after moisturising, and is light in texture, does not feel oily or greasy nor does it make my skin react. So far no 'rudolf red nose' so hears hoping it will see me through the summer!

My biggest gripe is that, as another reviewer mentioned, you can't get in Australia for various random reasons, so have to get it from overseas. On my next visit back to the UK I will be stocking up!

This is a very good product, very moisturising and was actually suitable to use for summer (albeit a European summer) and coming towards winter. I reserve to say whether it is actually moisturising enough for actual winter as I don't know yet.

Absolutely love this sunscreen. As a pale girl living in Queensland, Australia my skin really suffers if I don't wear spf daily. This one is great. I wear it over moisturiser and it doesn't break me out nor does it make me oily or give me an allergic reaction. You can't buy this in aus because we don't approve anything over spf 30 here but I will continue to buy it from overseas.

I have really, really sensitive acne-prone skin, and I break out from everything... I was looking for a daily moisturizer with sunscreen cause I've also started to develop hyperpigmentation. But this feels thick in the face...it feels like a old fashioned sunscreen and leaves a thick layer that you can feel with your fingers...its not refining at all, and not mattifying....

Cause I have really uneven skin, with enlarged pores and other old acne scars( some are deep), this only accentured the "bad side" of my skin....

I wanted to like this, but its a little too thick for extremely oily skin I guess.... It seems to contain some silicones, but they don't seem to have the refining effect.....

They say that the difference between spf 15, 30 and 50 actually is only 4-7 %, so ill maybe try some other moisturizer with less spf in it....cause I don't know if its that...that makes it feel so thick...

Won't repurchase..... But this might suit normal or dry skintypes...

Stellar product. Lightweight, moisturising and blocks the rays well. Feel a lot safer when I step out and have this on.

It's not sticky or thick (hence the name) which is great, I mean who really wants goop on their faces? I tried bodyshop's sunscreen and that was crap. Made me sweat like crazy and my skin feels suffocated.

This is good stuff!

The perfect facial sunscreen. How long I have waited for something like this, that is not mineral so there is no whiteness on my face, that is thin textured, does not cause blackheads or pimples, works beautifully under makeup and is a good price! There are other sunblocks like L'Octaine that meet all but the last description. This is $56 for 4.2 oz, and if you go to the drugstore that will seem outrageous, but if you look at the cost of Shisedo, EL, etc. it is not at all. And frankly very few SPF 50's, or even SPF 25's plus are not mineral. I have enough darkness in my skin to look ridiculous with a mineral sunscreen, and the whiteness does not disipate quickly or under makeup. Whether high or low end in price, it is just hard to find. I am very happy with this purchase.

this is my current hg sunscreen. no fragrance. no white cast. good for sensitive skin. milky and light. doesn't mess w/ my makeup or ball up underneath.
no tans or burns even under tropical sun. it's a lil expensive ,but worth it.
i used to use shiseido ultimate 55, but they changed the formula and so i found this one and love it.

I bought this alongside the Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, as you need a high SPF for sun protection.
My only concern with this is that, if used with the CCDS Solution during the day, my oily skin only stays matte for a maximum of 3 hrs, so by lunchtime, I need to blot or re-poweder. However, by itself as a high factor SP, it does the job and I've not had any sun spots etc since I started using it. However, I will be trying Clinique's (Super) City Block next for my very oily skin.

My HG sunscreen. Just bought two bottles of it (60ml) since Kiehls SG is having 20% off storewide for all Friends of Kiehl's(members,lol).

I got this and Clearly Corrective Spot Solutions and some vials of their two other highly raved products. This is by far my fav product from Kiehls, and I suppose this is different from the US ver of Super Fluid because its not fluid at all, its creamy but light. Applies very smoothly onto your skin without a white cast(like the other high SPF sunscreens). Looks a little greasy after applying it adequately. Overall, its weird that I find my skin getting fairer and fairer and I attribute the credits to this product since I only use cleanser, a green tea seed serum and this when I go out to work in the mornings.

I think only Asia sells this though, since its Oil free.

Kiehls recently introduced this sunscreen with a rather cleverly, well-thought tagline, "prevents 90% of skin-aging". To the well-informed ladies....we all know that any prevention from the sun will be an investment to your skin in the long run.

This product almost took me by surprise, because like it's name... the sunscreen indeed feels very light on the skin. If you want me to put this into words, it's almost like applying a very light, cooling but hydrating moisturiser onto your skin. Except, this moisturiser comes with SPF 50 PA +++ that effectively filters UVA rays.

It also doesn't leave your skin with a strange geisha-ish white cast nor does it have that acrid sunscreen scent. Absolutely fragrance free, I can't imagine anyone not liking this. However, if you misunderstood and thought this would leave your skin feeling matte, then you're wrong. What it feels is really like slathering on a cooling, but hydrating moisturiser (if you have any experience with such moisturiser, then you'll get what i mean ! :) ) It reminded me a lot of another sunscreen that I use alternately, Vichy's Anti-Pollution suncreen. Both produces almost the same effect, and has same SPF ratings.

I would recommend anyone giving this a try, albeit being a little to the pricey side.
