    I tried to convince myself I liked this product, because; not only was I was giving myself great sun protection, I was putting these amazing, high-tech-sounding ingredients on my skin - and for the...

    This is a product that I regret buying. I brought it because, it was at 'Marshals' for much cheaper than its usual price. I wanted to try this , so I could experience what 'Mexoryl' and, 'Tinsorb'...

    I typically use Alba SPF 30 as a moisturizer, and have for years, because of its ease of application and that it never breaks me out. However, I've been noticing fine lines and wanted something...

    Horrible texture! Like paste! This is basically Geisha cream -- in that it is like putting a white mask on your face. White Cast? This is the definition of White Cast. I bought this because...

    I was hoping this was like the SX 15 daily, but stronger. The SX 15 is a moisturizer with mexoryl and other chemical spfs. This is a titanium/chemical suncream, that also has Mexoryl in it. The...

    There seems to be a lot of bad reviews about this sunscreen. While I agree it is pretty thick and gives you a white cast, it is seriously really good at what it does- protecting your skin from the...

    EDIT: I like this, but it's too reflective, which means it accentuates my fine lines...back to the store it goes. Application: This is a tricky product to apply: it's thick and white. Rub it...

    I was in a hurry at CVS & I grabbed this because I saw, "With Mexoryl SX (Ecamsule)", highlighted in orange on the box. Anthelios 15 with Mexoryl SX has such a decent texture for sunscreen, I hoped...

    Very thick, white cast that DOES NOT blend. If you try to blend it, it just gets worse. I haven't figured out how to correctly apply it--I'm sure this ISN'T any way to correctly apply this. Very...

    My HG SS for nearly 4 years. This product is about $30 at CVS in the States, but it's the best defense against the sun's rays. I wear this to the beaches in San Diego, CA, and my face has yet to...

    The worse sunscreen ever. I was so looking forward to this but I ended up looking like I had white paint on my face. The rest of my body tan and white, white face. I tried everything. One...

    Awful! So white, even for a PPP. Tried to use it on my hands but it was too thick and white too.

    I bought this as my sunscreen to use for travel because of its size, and it wasn't ideal. What I noticed is that the more "glistening" you are from the heat, the harder it is to rub in and the...

    Maybe it's because I'm ultra pale, but I am not bothered by the white cast which does seem to dissipate a little after a few minutes on the skin. It will photograph light if you wear alone but with...
