    I want to like this, as it has a high SPF and is good for sensitive skin. I like Paula's products, as you can use the sunscreen day creams around your eyes. This stung though when I applied it...

    I've always been surprised at how many people like this sunscreen. It has been in the PC lineup for many years and certainly has a following (it's also repackaged in the PC CALM sub-brand)....

    This is a great sunscreen for my oily summer skin. It truly is light--not thick, easy to blend and no white cast after blending, does not feel greasy on skin. In winter, I use her slightly...

    Not shine free like they say would more recommend this for normal to dry. But its a good non-irritating daily sun protection.

    This sunscreen goes on like a dream. It has almost no white cast on my med-dark skintone. It isn't irritating. Liquid makeup goes well on top of it. It doesn't smell bad. It has a soft matte,...

    It's a good moisturizer and the spf is adequate. Doesn't irritate my finicky skin or break me out. Consistency is good, no white cast. Main downside is that it doesn't mattify at all. Like, at...

    Hg product for me. At first has a very white cast but this settles in a minute or so and can't be seen once makeup on. I wouldn't choose this if not wearing foundation. Dries to a matt/satin...

    No, I don't like this one. It did moisturise my skin well and I like the fact that it contains SPF 30, but it made my skin super oily and shiny. I would definitely not call it shine-free because...
