    I have tried tons of sunscreens. I know others like this product but it doesn't absorb into my skin--it kind of flakes off. Very bad under makeup.

    The best sunblock I've found so far, in the case of non-greasiness. If it wasn't for the scent, you'd forget you were wearing it, which is exactly what I was looking for. I can't stand the greasy...

    Fabulous. Unlike most sunblocks out there, this one left me feeling nice and dry--not greasy. It's almost powdery in texture and reminds me of Neutrogena's sheer sunblock (with a lower price tag)....

    This is amazing! It doesn't even feel or look like I'm wearing sunscreen. Every other type I've tried leaves a greasy shine to my face, but this leaves me nice and matte. Wow! I only wish it...

    This is a very good sunscreen for oily/combo skins. I like it much better than the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer stuff which made me shiny. This stuff offers great sun protection, is weightless feeling,...

    This product is so far the best sunscreen that I have tried! Coppertone, Pacific Sun, Banana Boat have proved to be too greasy- and oily-feeling, especially on my face (I have extremely oily,...

    This is good. It doesn't break me out (I have sensitive, combination skin) and it keeps my face from looking like a oil slick way longer than other sunscreens I tried. I love the sun, and this...

    Active Breathable is great as a body sunscreen for me. It's light, not greasy, spreadable, and dries to a matte finish on my skin. However, this is a chemical sunscreen (high % too because of the...

    This is the best SS I have used to date. I have some recent scars on my face from a dog bite and I was told to apply SS on them to prevent them from darkening. Well I read the reviews here and...

    Given good reviews for this and Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer sunblock (also SPF 45), I've been running a little comparison. I find both to be good, very similar - sink into skin well, easy to apply...

    After reading all these raves, I ran out to Walgreens and bought it. However, now I have a few little breakouts on my forehead that I'm pretty sure are related to this sunblock...I'll try using it...

    I used to like this product. It is non-greasy. But I found out that it stings my eyes. And since eye area is the most important area to protect, what good would it be if I can't use it near my...

    I bought this sunblock after reading about it on Pville. So far, so good. Right now I'm using it, unbelievably, as a mattifier and it works really well. No matter what foundation or moisturizer I'd...

    I have tried this and the Ultra Sheer SPF 45. Both are equally good. Non greasy and it doesn't break me out. I have the tendency of getting breakouts after using sunblock.

    This is great for my super-oily acne prone skin. It stays matte all day and doesn't run into my eyes or sting. The scent, while not unpleasant, fades quickly, if that's a problem.

    I have acid burns on my face that are healing and need to be fully protected from the sun, so I am used to wearing thick, greasy sunscreens. I have the SPF 30 version of this product, and it ROCKS....
