Great sunscreen!
Really like this sunscreen! It works for me as a face primer too, is lightweight and feels great on face.

Lightweight, not greasy, effective coverage from the sun.
My favorite lightweight, daily wear sunscreen. It is not greasy, and doesn't leave a film. I put in on first thing, the add my foundation or bb cream. It doesn't run and leave my eyes feeling irritated like most face sunscreens. I wear this every single day, and I am confident that I will not be exposed to those cancer causing rays from the sun. It's is reasonably priced and it lasts a long time.

No breakouts, no white cast!
After a lot (lot, lot, lottttt) of time spent searching through reviews and articles, I finally took the plunge and ordered a bottle of this sunscreen. I've recently developed hyperpigmentation (due to heat/light/allergy inflammation+hormonal changes) and need to wear daily, indoor light protection. However, I have never, ever had any luck with sunscreens, physical formulations least of all; they irritate my skin, cause rashy breakouts, and usually itch like crazy. But not this one! I'm so pleased with it that I'm actually writing this review. I've been using it AM daily for almost 2 weeks (face, neck, upper chest, shoulders) and have not had a single rash or bout of itchiness; no redness irritation either! It goes on like a lightweight lotion, rubs in easily without pulling, and does not leave a white ghost mask (note, I do have a fair complexion, but other sunscreens in my past have left me looking positively bloodless and encased while this one leaves my skin looking/feeling like human skin). Only two tiny cons, it would be nice if the SPF was higher for wearing outdoors, and, I am a wee bit skeptical of cost point vs. amount of product. However, it has performed exactly as advertised, and another reviewer mentioned her bottle lasted 4 months, so, I think the cost may turn out to be well worth it in the long run. Overall, very happy so far!

No white cast, but interferes with hormones.
Probably one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever used with no white cast. The only reason I no longer use it is due to the fact that some of the ingredients mess with female hormones and mine are already crazy so had to stop for my own health.

Great sunscreen for oily skin
So far I do like this sunscreen I have done all of my skin care than out it on didn’t have an issue the pump makes it so you can get as much or little as you want. You do not need a lot one pump or even little more than half a pump worked for me . It doesn’t have a white case on your face soaks in very nicely isn’t greasy . I have very greasy skin at first it does seem like it’s going to be but it absorbs great feel good to put on. It sticky. Unless it makes me break out or adds more blackheads I will absolutely be keeping it

Great sunscreen but no tint whatsoever!
This product spreads well, is not matte, nor is it shiny, it's in between, and allows application of foundation on top with ease. However, there is no tint in this product, looks like it has a tint, when it comes out of the botle, but spreads clear on my medium-tone skin, therefore, to me, this is just a sunscreen to use under foundation as it has no amount of coverage whatsoever. I expected some sort of blending quality, similar to a CC cream, but that's not the case. For this reason, I will not repurchase. I will go back to using the RoC sunshield that provides enough coverage for me.

This is my ESSENTIAL DEFENSE to go outdoors!
At the recommendation of my dermatologist I tried this sun protection. Great price point for this quality protection. I have sensitive skin and rosacea. If I step outside in the Florida sun without protection I bloom like a red tomato crossed with an acne prone teen - no one wants to look like that. First thing each morning I apply my essential defense!
