I HATE sunscreen but I absolutely LOVE this product. I have the "white" one so it also leaves my skin looking fresh and translucent. Yay for spf!

I am surprised by the reviewers that found this product drying. I think it is quite dimethicone-y (although I have no idea if it has dimethicone in it). It goes on my skin smooth and silky. I use...
