Heard good things about this ss on rosacea and skincare forums, but unfortunately it isn't on sale in the UK so I had to order it. The postage from the US is horrible, but I'm willing to pay to...

I really like this sunscreen. It doesn't irritate my mild rosacea/acne prone skin. No breakouts or irritations. It blends in and absorbs well. It doesn't cause any extra shine in my day if I put a...

Good but not great for me. Although advertised as very light I could still feel this on my skin in the heavy heat and humidity. LRP Anthelios ultra light still wins that category. It does go on...

This sunscreen seems ridiculously over-priced for what it is (crap, in my opinion). It's not too dry, and it's not terribly thick and greasy, but that's true of many sunscreens--even the drugstore...
