    I'm on accutane right now so my skin is extremely dry, extremely sensitive, and also sunburns easily. I got a sample of this with another order and decided to go for the full size. It absorbs...

    Bought samples of this to last me a week. This is an okay product if you like the strong smell of sunscreen (think BananaBoat) in your nostrils all day. It also stings your eyes, so don't apply it...

    I incorporated this into my daily routine by applying after my moisturizer and before my foundation. Within four hours of wear, my skin was dry and itchy. I would not recommend this and definitely...

    This is a good SPF for my dry skin because of its hydrating properties. It is easy to apply and doesn't leave a white cast. It is meant for normal to dry skin types. Since it isn't mat, I'd say...

    This was one of my free samples when buying the smaller Resist package, and I find myself liking it more than I like the Resist moisturizer (which is a very good moisturizer itself). Moisture Boost...

    This is very cosmetically elegant sunscreen if you have dry skin and prefer chemical. I would love to use mineral ss, but tend to dry my skin and give me bad breakouts. It feels like a very...

    Unfortunately, this sunscreen doesn't work for me. After several days of use, my seborrheic dermatitis flares up, which I believe is due to the chemical sunscreen. However, I also had the same...
