    I've been using this product for about 6 months. This is one of the best sunscreens out there for combination acne-prone skins. It is very light and never broke me out. It is NOT completely matte...

    A good, basic, non-irritating sunscreen for everyday and around the house. I don't use it under makeup because it doesn't stand up to oiliness very well.

    While it leaves a matte finish, I don't like this moisturizer very much. My skin feels somewhat tacky and flaky at the same time, it is not smooth. Price is not as cheap as I would like it to be....

    This is a great sunscreen and it didn't break me out, which I'm very thankful for. It also helps to moisturize too, so it does two jobs. I wish the SPF was a little higher (maybe 30 or so)....

    I really love this sunscreen! My skin was broken out, and I think it was due to the St. Ives Oil-Free Moisturizer, so I stopped using the St. Ives and switched to this..its so great, my combo skin...

    I didn't really fancy this product. Firstly, although it was supposed to be unscented, I still could detect a scent which didn't appeal to me. I also found it a little too greasy for my liking. But...

    This is a great sunscreen. Very basic and easy to use. I have combo skin and it didn't leave me greasy or shiny at all. Very light when on.

    A good try, but it didn't quite make it. Don't get me wrong, this stuff is a lot better than most of the facial SPF moisturizers out there, but I'm extremely picky about the consistency of the...

    This was a bit drying on my skin and was greasy at the same time. My skin didn't like it. When used under makeup, my skin would visibly look tight and parched as the day went on. For my slightly...
