First of all I use this sunscreen for my body, it is much too greasy for my face (and most people's I would say), there is a light formula that I have used on my face, however it is also too greasy, I only wear this formula on my face when playing sport due to the fact that I would just sweat matt formulas right off.

Second, I must urge you to try the Cancer council sunscreen with clear zinc, I find it to be more effective than the everyday plus formula and also it is less greasy and sinks in more easily.

At the moment I am using a small tube, however I would like a large pump pack, anyone who lives in Australia and knows where to get one please Mail me via MUA, I reeeallly like the look of that pump pack :P

I bought this sunscreen hoping it could be my daily, incidental exposure sunscreen. It's very cheap, and though the PPD is only estimated around 6-10, with wearing a hat and sunglasses it should be good enough for incidental exposure. Unfortunately, this stuff is grease/oil city. It's just very oily, never soaks in, super shiny (of course). It has a very strange, metallic smell. Thank goodness I only bought the small size! I'll try to use up on my arms this spring/summer, but I definitely won't repurchase.
Oh, and it's impossible to get the inactive ingredients list for this.

I really like this sunscreen!! I use it mainly for my arms and hands as these are generally the only areas I leave exposed,aside from my face and neck(I apply a separate one there.) Yes, I wear pants all summer.(I don't care for my leg's appearance, cappillary-wise. I won't add to it with more sun damage.)
Anyhoo, I generally apply this in the AM on my way out the door to work.(I leave when it's dark.) It does leave a bit of a 'glossy sheen' for perhaps 20 mins, but then appears matte. And I don't feel at all oily. My arms and hands have not changed color one bit this summer(they are the same hue as my legs!) and my freckles/spots seem to be fading or at the very least remained the same.
I can't vouch for it's appropriateness for face,as I have one I really love already, and won't be tampering with my success there.
Oh, how I wish the US would approve Tinsorb/Mexoryl! This is the absolute best and most reasonable formula I've encountered for body application. OH! and(almost) best of all...absolutely no fragrance!! =) LOVE!
