Great for sesnsitive skin. I layer this over my Origins Matte Scientist and it does really well. Good for winter. Probably being discontinued for OutSmart SPF 25 (even better product).
No breakouts

This is a year-round staple for me because I don't wear foundation and I don't always need a moisturizer. Not only do I hate GREASY sunscreens, but I also hate HEAVILY SCENTED sunscreens. This is neither. It's very light, it absorbs immediately [even when my skin is dry], and I like the bottle. I dot it directly on, and there's no mess at all. Others have mentioned a slightly white tint, but I'm a PPP and I guess I can't see it. On me, it slightly evens out my skin tone and smoothes my skin. It's lightly floral scented, but barely noticeable. It's $15 but I think it's worth the price compared to other sunscreens. When I'll be outside all day I use a higher SPF, but this sunscreen is perfect for classes, errands, and dog walks :)

This is the sunscreen I turn to when I can't wear anything else. My skin is very sensitive to sunscreens, and there's hardly anything that I can wear for any length of time without a really painful stinging reaction. This is dead neutral, my skin doesn't react to it at all. It does leave a bit of a whitish cast, and doesn't stick around if you get really sweaty, but I'll always have it nearby for those days when I'm feeling super-sensitive. Origins' Have a Nice Day is a nice alternative as a moisturizer with SPF, but I don't feel it's quite as protective as this is.

Wow, I can't believe the bad reviews. I LOVE this stuff. I'm obsessive about wearing sunscreen everyday, but I could never find one that didn't make me all greasy. This does NOT make me greasy, nor does it leave a whiteish cast on my face. I apply it over my moisturizer and it sinks right in, no problem. It also smells goood. I find this to be a pretty good deal. I bought mine for $15 in July and the bottle still feels full.

This product is very light and absorbs instantly if you have oily skin. It's really not for dry skin. The worst thing about it is the whitish cast it leaves on your face long after it absorbs. I also feel that for a stand alone sunscreen, it needs to be a higher spf than 15.
