Someone call heaven--can this really be sunscreen? Texture is milky, sinks right in, NO shine at all! Anti-sweating and waterproof (so it says), no artificial colors or fragrance, and can be used...

Ohhh, I really DO love this product. It's runny and thin like milk not thick and gloopy. It made my skin lovely and matte and looked great under makeup. (no balling or pilling!) Great...

I am using AHA so I really need good sunscreen, which also needs to keep my oily face matte. I am glad that I found this Sofina from MUA’s good reviews. I purchased from bobodave.com with free...

I also bought this based on the great reviews. Physical sunscreens are so thick that my skin ends up greasy or just feeling coated...other chemical sunscreens (neutrogena 55) made my skin sting &...

I bought this after reading all the great reviews here. I was using Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 55 before, but the Sofina does a much better job at keeping my face matte and the oilies away -...

Tried this based on the wonderful reviews and I am not disappointed. It is a bit runnier than I expected but you don't feel it on your face at all! Is not heavy, does not smell. You only need a...

I bought this because it was the highest rated sunscreen on MUA, but I was a little nervous that reviewers kept saying how mattifying it is - I'm 53 and my skin is combo/dry and starting to show...

I wish I found this sunblock sooner. Love the lightness of this sunblock, it's a pleasure applying "milk" like sunblock on my skin every morning. That's really how light this sunblock is, think...

This is just an initial review. I have oily, super sensitive skin and this definitely keeps it matte. It makes my skin feel a little tight, so I think I'll need to wear moisturizer under it. If...

I picked up this sunblock when I was in Hong Kong last summer. It is a great sunscreen for the tropics/subtropics, but is too drying for everyday use in Massachusetts. I used it in Florida this...

This sunscreen is just fantastic. It is totally invisible in both finish and texture. It is a light, liquid-y lotion that sinks in quickly and leaves you feeling like you have nothing on. The best...
