    Suprisgly, I reallly like this. At first it went on as white as a ghost but after 10 minutes it was fine and went well under my primer and LM TM. It is only SPF 15, the LM is SPF 20 and since it...

    This stuff is marketed to those with "normal, dry and very dry" skin. I would consider my skin to be normal to slightly dry. This left a really greasy sheen on my face after applying a very light...

    Like other reviewers, I suspect the formula changed a while ago. It's much easier to rub in, but I was ok with the old one anyway. I am usually pretty fair skinned, so if there was a white cast,...

    First, let me start by saying that it irks me Paula does not keep us updated when she tweaks or reformulates a product. When this sunscreen came out a few years ago, I didn't like it at all. It...

    I like many of Paula's products, but this one is going to be hit-or-miss for many people. Altho' Paula Begoun herself claims to be an ingredient watchdog, this product uses a form of anti-freeze -...

    This is a good sunscreen as far as the ingredients go, the packaging and the price. But that's about it. It was a sticky, hard to spread/blend consistancy and takes a lot of rubbing to get it to...

    I like almost everything about this moisturizer. I like the spf (15 is high enough for the climate here, and it's a physical ss, which is better tolerated by my skin), I like the ingredients (very...
