    Pretty darn good sunscreen for an oily face. I don't know about white casts as I always wear foundation and I don't take flash photography so no idea about that there. It's lightweight and absorbs...

    This might be my HG. Kiehl's has a super-white cast and makes me break out. La Roche Posay runs into my eyes and stings if I so much as think a sweaty thought. Neutrogena has a white cast, makes...

    I love this product! I realized a few years ago that I am allergic to the ingredient avobenzone, which is in most sunscreens. This is one of the few that do not have that ingredient. A little...

    I think I've finally found my HG sunscreen! My derm wanted me to start using SPF 50 with my retinoid, but it seems the higher the SPF, the greasier the sunscreen. So I searched and searched and...

    Edited to add: Sunscreen is the best preventative measure you can use against aging, hence why I don't mind the steep price tag. --------------------------------- I would like to start this...

    I have been searching for a sunscreen that doesn't clog my pores and cause breakouts ever since my HG sunscreen (BurnOut) underwent an ill advised reformulation. I wanted all physical, but since...

    I'm on my fourth bottle of this, so I thought it could be time to share some thoughts. First of all, if you loved the old Chanel SPF 50, this is essentially the same product. Or rather, it...

    I usually use Shiseido sunscreen, SPF 38 in a bright blue tube. I'm not sure I like the formula anymore, so I decided to try a new sunscreen. I get a lot of skin irritation if I use a chemical...

    Just a beautiful and simple physical sunscreen. Plays well with makeup, doesn't seem too white. No harsh scents like some of the chemical sunscreens do. Also this one doesn't break me out which...
