I purchased this with the PTR instant mineral SPF 30 and I really like them both. With the Max Sheer, it is non-greasy on application and I can add my regular powder to reduce additional shine on...

I had a sample of this and tried it out for several days. The smell and texture coming out of the bottle are both pleasant. However, like others have said, the "sheer" is pretty misleading. While...

I agree...it's not for oily skin type. It felt heavy and greasy on my face and my skin broke out at the end of the day! Not good for me...would not repurchase... trying to recover my skin...

The only thing I didn't care for was the wait 15 minutes after applying before any makeup application. Other than that, it was just fine.

Not as impressed as i was expecting to be... too sad. SHeer is certainly NOT a word i would use to describe this sunblock. You do need to follow the instructions and leave it on AT LEAST 15 mins...

I received this as a sample and since I like other PTR products I was eager to try this. Although it is sheer, I still noticed an oiliness to it that I didn't like. I also didn't feel like my skin...

Wow! Does this leave my face shiny/oily. Thankfully, the shiny/oily does not bleed through my foundation (Otherwise, it would have been 2 lippies). At least it doesn't break me out. Also like...

I've gotten this as a sample twice now. I do like the PTR lotion better than the cream - the lotion is much more spreadable and smooth on my skin. It sinks in really quick, but I do feel like if...

Pretty decent stuff, but leaves my face pretty shiny-- it's not all that sheer. Also I prefer physical sunblock to chemical ones. Probably won't purchase.

This has been a staple in my morning routine for a few years now. I tend to easily get hyper-pigmentation on the sides of my face when it is exposed to the sun, so I rely on an SPF 30 to help with...

I really want to like this product. However, it just does not work well at all on my super oily skin. I wear a transfer resistant foundation and this stuff makes it slide right off (ruined the...

This is perfect for my combo sensitive skin. It is very lightweight on my skin. If I allow it to sink in for 15 or so minutes, my makeup goes on very well and seems to last just fine throughout...

I've been using this for 3 years. It's a very effective sunscreen and a light moisturizer. In the winter, my combo/aging skin needs more moisturizer under this, but in the summer it is nice...

I like this, and I've tried a lot of products...I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and it's hard for me to find a daily moisturizer that doesn't burn or sting or break me out. This stuff doesn't...

This is one of the best moisturiser/sunscreen product ever. Although it has SPF of 30, it is not thick at all. Very easy to apply, unscented, and it gives my face a glow. Definitely HG status.

I'm always looking for a good oil-free moisturizer with sunblock. This is expensive, but nice quality. You just have to apply somewhat sparingly and let it absorb into your skin. It's been...

This is actually not a bad product, it stays well on my skin and the texture is good and smooth on well. As I've got combination skin ,it is a bit too oily for me, it makes my skin "shiny" all day...

I thought this was great--had a great feel and blended/smelled better than most SPF products. However, even though this was the sheer formula, I found it made me a little too oily. My skin is...
