This product works well for use on my hands and body; it provides very good protection from the sun and is lightly moisturizing. I hesitate to use it on my face because zinc oxide can be a pore...

I've been searching for good sunscreen for my fair sensitive dry combo skin type, and is currently using Clinique's city block spf 25. I quite like the texture of this because it's lighter and...

I'm surprised to see so many bad reviews, as I think this Mineral S/S is far surperior than the one she makes for the face and sells for (now $20, it used to be $18) for 2 oz. This one is $15 and...

I've had excellent luck with PC's pure mineral sunscreen, SPF 15. I use it on my face and all exposed body parts. It has a wonderful texture, goes on silky, and makes my skin feel marvelous long...

I have been experimenting with different sunscreens lately and this was the one I was checking out primarily for using around eyes and on my body - not for my acne-prone face. This has very runny...

This stuff is absolutely horrible. It claims to be for "very dry skin" yet practically takes a trowel to apply and does not absorb into the skin at all. It is literally the consistency of Elmer's...

I really love this as, frankly, a non-shiny sunscreen is almost downright impossible to find. This one has a lovely matte finish. Be warned, however, it even makes my extremely pale (I'm a celtic...

I don't understand the negative reviews on this one. My personal experience is that it's a good sunscreen that doesn't sting my eyes. It does leave a slight whitish cast on one's skin, but I'm...

This formulation was extremely sticky, shiny, and, despite careful blending, pasty white on the skin. I mean, all physical sunscreens will leave some whitish cast on the skin no matter what the...

Awful stuff as with all Paula's products. At least for me. They clog pores, give me a rash and make my skin itch! I have NEVER had that before with any line!
