    I LOVE this stuff- definitely a holy grail product for me. In February I started breaking out and it turned out to be the worst cystic acne known to man. It is actually a very rare form of it--...

    I've been looking for a mineral HG suncreen that I can blend with foundation that is also good for acne-prone skin. I tried this one with disappointing results. It is a liquid sunscreen that...

    Another hit by SkinCeuticals. I have not tried a sunscreen with SPF50 that it totally invisible before, and this one is perfect. It was suggested by my local pharmacist. I am very pale (NC15) and I...

    This is definitely an HG of mine! As pricey as it is, I need it since I have very light skin that burns easily (due to a ginger gene :P) I got this from my doctor's office as I've been seeing her...

    This unfortunately was one of the worst sunscreens I've tried. This is EXTREMELY drying & even under a good moisturizer, this sucked every bit of moisture out of my skin while leaving it tight &...

    This broke my face out so badly, I think the zinc oxide is the culprit for the clogged pores. This is very occlusive on the skin since it is all physical sunscreen, which causes clogged pores since...

    This left white bits under my foundation. I found I could still feel it on my skin despite it's sheer quality and it's not as sheer or light as La Roche Posay ultra light sunscreen. It also made my...

    I really love this sunscreen as it's so light on my skin and gives my face a nice finish. I have a really oily t-zone and this doesnt make it worse. I would repurchase but its so expensive :(

    It caused breakouts, which is unfortunate because otherwise it caused very little irritation... Which is very rare indeed for me. I had some luck with mixing it with my foundation on special...

    I agree with all that say that this leaves a white film on the face, yes it does. But for me it isn't a big problem, my face is darker then rest of my body, so it just makes it look more even. for...

    I tried this after reading a lot of rave reviews on the skin care board. It definitely has a white cast--I'm extremely pale and I can use it to even out some of the sun damage spots on my face. I...

    I got a bottle of this to compare with the Physical Fusion which I ♥. This is exactly the same but without the tint. Very lightweight, liquid texture. It's non-whitening even though I...

    This is for the tinted version. I use a moisturizer under it. It does have great sunscreen ingredients but have to be careful to apply lightly or will look orange on me. I use a translucent...

    I love this sunblock. I tried it at my Spa and was told this is one of the best sunblocks out there (well, of course they would say that). However, I ended up loving it - I did not even purchase it...

    I was disappointed in this. This provides decent suncreen protection and dries down to a soft, matte finish, but the tint is worse than Elta MD 41 tint, more ashy in color. I'm over these one tint...
