Oh yes, I saw someone reviewed this item, I bought 2 of this some 2 or 3 years ago. What attracted me was the "non-greasy" claim, within the ingredients, probably there are no oils in it. But the...

I find it so strange how completely greasy this is, given the name of it. Terrible! And really shiny, which obviously you don't want if you're buying something called "Non-Greasy." I also think the...

I really wanted to like this product because it's marketed as good for sensitive skin. It applies ok, but it has chemicals like oxybenzone that my senstiive skin just doesn't like. And I'm...

I have dry skin and this is just like putting oil on my face, definitely would not use for my face again. It is very greasy, and it also makes my eyes tear if i put it too close.

I have to agree with the other posts that say this is not a good sunscreen solution. It is greasy, despite the name, and if you have a tendency to oily skin anyway, this makes it much worse. It...

I picked up a few sample packages, I love that concept of trying something for a small price before committing and in this case I'm happy I did. I find this product was too heavy and greasy to be...

I would not recommend this for the face at all. It's terribly greasy. I wouldnt even recommend it on the body for daily use. Everytime i use it on my hands, i leave grease marks everywhere. i...

I love Paula's products with the exception of this one. The first time I used it was on my body {thankfully} It was so greasy on my dry skin. It felt like I had put vasoline on or something. the...

This product was a disaster for me, and I am a loyal user of Paula's products, especially the moisturizers. First of all, this product should be re-named "Extra Greasy Sunscreen," which would be a...

I've been very pleased with most Paula's Choice products, but this one has been a disaster. I can't remember the last time my skin broke out. Even as a teenager, I seldom broke out. Previously in...

Paula states in her books she has oily skin so you would think non greasy would mean just that..wrong. Like the other reviewers said, it may be good SPF and all, but this stuff is GREASY. Her...

Yuck. Non Greasy? It was so gross on my face I had to wash it off and use a different moisturizer. The lotion smells like old Coppertone. It's not good when a sunscreen lotion for the face smells...

I did not like this product at all. It's very very greasy. I wore it before I went hiking and it burned and irritated my eyes when I started sweating. It smells weird, too. I think it smells like...

I use this on my body only. It is much cheaper than the sunscreen I use on my face so I feel better about applying it liberally. However, I would never EVER use this on my face because from time...

When I first read PB's Beauty Bible, it was really difficult to find a sunscreen with avobenzone. So even though this was pricy, I bought it and used it when I was out in the sun or at the beach...

I had to change my review. Thanks to Nora80's notepad I've learned that these sunscreens are not photostable. Do not use.

Can't use it, breaks me out. I agree with a lot of what Paula Begoun has to say, but it annoys me that she pushes so hard for everyone to pile on the sunscreen, but has no advice for those of us...
