This stuff is really good. So weightless, no shine, no oily face. I can use it as a primer.

The Good: - Lightweight with a matte finish. This is definitely a plus since most of the sunscreen I have tried has left my face with an oily residue. It almost feels like it's not even there! -...

This is a nice matte sunscreen, but it balls up under makeup. I'm keeping it, as it will be good for summer due to its matteness/light feel and with a powder foundation, but it does not work with...

This stuff definitely balls up under makeup as other reviewers have noted, even when used sparingly. Back it goes to Sephora.
