I got a sample of this with my Paula's Choice cataloge, in spite of the name it left my face looking a little shiny but I have yet to find a sunscreen that dries completely matte. It left my skin...

Paula's sunscreens left an oily film on my face. Too bad, since I love so many of her other products!

I am not sure how Paula can justify this as being "completely con-greasy" because it is just as greasy as most sunscreens. The first time I put it under my makeup I wondered why my face was all...

This is a good everyday sunscreen if you don't mind shininess. Unfortunately, for my skin in the summer, I have decided that the shine is too much (it was fine when I was less oily). I will stick...

I am obviously in the minority here, because I bought this product after reading these reviews and I am dissatisfied with it and no longer use it. I have sensitive, but non-acne prone, combination...

This is hands down the best sunscreen I have ever used in my life. This light textured lotion disapears into the skin and leaves no trace of white or greasy residue behind. It is light enough to...

After reading rave reviews on MUA, I wanted this to work for me. Sadly, it does not. I have sensitive combination skin, and this stuff made me break out every time I have used it. It's supposed to...

I have oily, blemish prone skin and live in a humid climate. I like this as a basic, daily sunscreen. I only apply it when I don't want to wear foundation/tint. It is not matte, but i don't find...

I've used this sunscreen for years now. I'm very oily and prone to breakouts and this is truly the only sunscreen that doesn't break me out. If I ever stray, I always come back to this one.

The texture is lovely for oily skin but after learning about photostability, run don't walk away from this sunscreen. As a guy, I can easily re-apply. But women, who wear full face make-up,...

This product is a good, basic moisturizer/sunscreen for most skin types. Yes, it advertises that it's "non-greasy" which isn't completely true. It does leave a slight shine, and my face needs to be...
