Horrible on me and not matte at all if I use enough to be a real sunscreen ... it is like greyness/whiteness on top of my skin plus shiny. Bummer.

I am in constant search of a matte sunscreen. I got really excited about this one, but that excitement lasted about 1 day. I COMPLETELY broke out everywhere! Small red bumps can be found on my...

I've tried so many oil-free sunblocks and this was the only one that didn't seem to totally cover my face in grease. It didn't make my skin look matte or fight off oil, but does have a nice...

Having finished about 3/5 bottle, I dare to say it is not matte at all. I have oily skin. Straight after I put it one, the next minute my forehead is full of shine and grease. It is hard to wear...

Uggghhhh. This did the opposite of all I was looking for in a SPF. It didnt mattify-what is did was make me look greasy and my face feel heavy. Also my concealor (which is all I wear as a base)...

I used this for three years before finally becoming fed up with it. I like to apply a lot of sunscreen just to ensure I'm putting enough on (read somewhere that the average person doesn't apply...

It can leave a white cast if I put on too much, and if I sweat while wearing it, it runs down my face in white streams. So I knock off one lippie. But it is wonderfully mattifying, and there seems...

This was my fave sunscreen for two years--never got burnt while wearing it and it primed skin nicely for foundation.
With the new formula, though, it's gone WAY down on my list of repurchases....

Loved the texture and mattifying effect at first, but after a few days, I began to get terrible cysts on my face. Aargh! The search for the perfect oily-skin sunblock continues :(

Product moisturizes well, but does leave a white film and the matte seems to ball up if you use too much of the product. I usually just use the shiseido powder on my face but with this product it...

This sunscreen is matte but doesn't blend well on face. It leaves a white cast which balls up as you are applying it. My face looks really messy afterwards, and my face gets shiny after few hours...

This stuff is great if you have oily skin.... but if your skin is normal/dry it will probably be a bit "flaky". Fragrance-free, non- irritating, goes on silky smooth, and most importanly,...

Very effective sunscreen that feels lightweight when applied and doesn't bog down my skin even after applying this on top of moistuzier. A definite must for summer beach months!

The only thing that I did not like about this sunscreen is that it left white flakes on my skin. I did not absorb into my skin well. I would not repurchase this again. Instead, I will purchase...

This sunscreen actually is matte. It doesn't feel heavy or greasy and doesn't break me out. I find that parsol1789 doesn't protect me as well as zinc oxide, but this is a great everyday facial...

This is the only sunblock that doesn't make my skin feel greasy and gross. It makes my face matte and not shiny like the other sunblocks. It has a chemical sunblock (avobenzone), along with a...

It's good stuff, but don't use it if you're allergic to Parsol. Try other DDF sunblocks or the PTR max sheer daily sunblock
