    Amazing sunscreen. A little pricey, but definitely worth it. For a physical sunscreen, or just a sunscreen in general, this is incredibly cosmetically elegant. It goes on so light, no white cast,...

    My new favorite sunscreen. As a medium brown skinned woman, I've had a bit of a tortured relationship with sunscreen. Yes, I know I need to wear it to protect my Retin-A/AHA/BHA -sensitized skin,...

    I have dry skin and I don't like the feel of sunscreen on my face, nor the smell of sunscreen that is supposed to be unscented. I was using the Resist Cellular Defense SPF 25, but I could still...

    This is a really nice, effective sunscreen for normal to oily skin. My skin tends to be on the normal to dry range so this sunscreen tends to be a bit drying (definitely no shine or oil!) and it...

    I suffer from dry skin above my lips and jawline, so I use this on top of kora organics rosehip oil and it's the perfect combination. It's dries up matte and makes my face appear brighter. It's...

    I love Paula's Choice products, but this one is not for me. It was aimed at people with my skin type, but didn't work out. I have oily to combination skin (more oily during summer) and I've been...

    I am on the fence with this product. On the one side, if you look for a physical sunscreen based solely on zinc oxide that does not turn your face into an oily mess and do not mind the fact that it...

    I think the actual name is RESIST Super-Light Daily Defense SPF 30, so perhaps the name on the packaging was adjusted, but this is definitely the same product. The active SPF ingredient is 13%...

    I love this stuff! I am NC25 with combination skin. This actually gives me lightweight coverage which I was surprised by (it just evens my skin tone a bit), and the colour is a good match for me....

    This is hands down the BEST sunscreen I have ever used. Its a must try if you have sensitive, combo, oily or acne prone skin. Those with very dry skin will probably not like this unless they...

    I am disappointed with this moisturizer, although clearly it's not suited to my skin. This is very light and very matte. I find it's quite drying to my skin, and that I need something richer,...
