    Heard good things about this ss on rosacea and skincare forums, but unfortunately it isn't on sale in the UK so I had to order it. The postage from the US is horrible, but I'm willing to pay to...

    I love this sunscreen! It absorbs quickly and does not leave any noticeable residue on my skin or cause breakouts. Most of the other high SPF sunscreens that I have used in the past would ball up...

    I really like this sunscreen. It doesn't irritate my mild rosacea/acne prone skin. No breakouts or irritations. It blends in and absorbs well. It doesn't cause any extra shine in my day if I put a...

    Good but not great for me. Although advertised as very light I could still feel this on my skin in the heavy heat and humidity. LRP Anthelios ultra light still wins that category. It does go on...

    Because of my problematic skin, finding a sunscreen has been difficult. I have rosacea, dehydratated/oily skin, with a touch of SD. I use a prescription retinoid, so sun protection is a must. ...

    This sunscreen seems ridiculously over-priced for what it is (crap, in my opinion). It's not too dry, and it's not terribly thick and greasy, but that's true of many sunscreens--even the drugstore...

    This is the best stuff for acne prone skin. It hasn't cause a breakout yet and for me that is rare. The finish is a little shiny, but a good loose powder and touch ups throughout the day make it...
