This has almost 20% zinc oxide. That makes for a thick formula, even if it’s using nano, which Shiseido does. This isn’t as cosmetically elegant as other formulas out there, but compared to every othe...Read more

I'm shocked at all the negative reviews of this sunscreen, because I think it's terrific. I have light, oily-combination, sensitive skin and so I am always looking for a sunscreen which, a) has a high...Read more

Not for me. The Ultimate sun protection cream was way too thick and difficult to apply. I had to rub hard on my skin to apply, something I do not want to be doing to me skin. Also leaves a whitish cas...Read more

I have used this several times while working out in the yard this summer. The chemical stench when applying this takes me aback every time. When I first apply it, it's a very off-putting lavender colo...Read more

I used the previous formula for several years and I loved it. This new formula is awful. I have combo skin and I'm very fair. This leaves my face white and takes awhile to soak in. The old formula ...Read more

This formulation replaced the old SPF 55, which was well-liked by those with oily skin because of its wonderful mattifying properties. Unfortunately, this new formula is nothing like the last. It is s...Read more
