    It is too thick, it is hard to smooth over skin and it leaves my skin with a slight white cast. It doesn't really dry matte. I won't repurchase once it is finished.

    I so wanted to like this, based on the good reviews here. But...it broke me out and the texture was thicker than I thought it would be. The search for the perfect sunscreen continues.

    You know how some suncreens claim to be formulated for oily/combo skins but never lives up to its claims? Well, this one definitely does and is that rare exception to the rule. I've never had...

    This is the sunscreen I turned to when I finally decided to start taking serious care of my skin. It's a thick cream and you have to work it over skin, but it absorbs fully into my oily skin and...

    this sunscreen is great. I does not burn my face like Alba did, and it goes on smoothly, and does not give the greasy look that other sunscreens have given me. I love love love it.

    I don't think this is a bad sunscreen, it just isn't quite worth the price. Also, despite what other reviewers said, it left a bit of a whitish cast. That could just be my skin, though. It also...

    This is truly the best sunscreen I have used. OK, it's pricey, but worth it since I don't break out. Is a great base for makeup - I use a foundation stick when I use this product. Will...

    I am devastated. I love this so, so much but I am really liberal with it -- face, ears, throat, chest, hands -- and it's expensive. I'm going to try some drugstore brands with an SPF of 30 but I...
