    I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I use it religiously on the eye area every day because the skin there is too sensitive to tolerate chemical sunscreens. The white cast is not too terrible and can be blended...

    Why does this only have 3.4 points? I love it. Best sunscreen and believe me, I've tried a lot. Many sting my skin (chemical sunscreen) or too white and thick (mineral). This is a miracle...

    I HAD TWO SAMPLES THAT I USED ON SEPERATE OCCASIONS. This is a lightweight sunscreen yet I would not say it is a moisturizer and sunscreen or two in one product. When I applied this it felt...

    I expected a lot from this product. However, it did not quite deliver. First, it is light which is nice. There is a slight white cast, which I'm not a fan of but could be easily toned down by...

    I only used this for a few days, but I think I hate it more than the Ultra-Sheer Daily Defense. While the Ultra-Sheer totally dried out my skin, this made me the oiliest I've ever been. When I...

    For those of us who are skin cancer prone - it’s extremely difficult to find a facial sunscreen that will work for us with porcelain sensitive skin (NC5). We need the protection more than anyone...
