    My HG sunscreen!!!!!! I wear this every day, under makeup. It gives my skin a somewhat moist feeling (not greasy). I like it bc my other sunscreen--Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch 30--can...

    I'm not crazy about this sun screen. It leaves my face shiny & takes too long to dry/ soak in. It doesn't feel greasy when you put it on, and has no scent- but I won't buy again because of the...

    I love Paula's Choice generally and I wanted to love this stuff. But, as so many reviewer's have said, this is sort of greasy feeling. It may not BE greasy, but it feels that way on my skin. It...

    The reason I don't use this much is it really isn't "non-greasy", as it does leave a distinct shine after application. Maybe they should call it "Super Greasy." LOL!! Also, it makes me break out....

    This has been my Holy Grail sunscreen for the last several years, until I found Neutrogena dry-touch. Sometimes my combo skin needs moisturizing, so it is easier to do that and then apply the...

    To say a sunscreen is "fine" is massive praise from me, since for years I avoided using one because I couldn't stand the skin-suffocating formulas of old. This is one I have purchased many times...

    This is the only sunscreen that I've been able to use on my face without breaking out! While, it's not exactly matte I don't really care, as long as it doesn't break me out I'm happy! Will purchase...

    I've used this sunscreen for years. It gets very cold in the winter here, so I need a bit of moisturizer under it, but during the other months it's just perfect as is. I find that it helps to wait...

    I've used this sunscreen every day, rain or shine for a couple of years now. Although the name says it's non-greasy, please don't expect this to leave your face looking matte! It will absorb into...

    I really wanted to like this product, since it has a light texture, is easy to apply, and isn't expensive. But it turns my combo skin pretty darn greasy by the middle of the day, and seems to...

    OK, I am very oily and thought this would be good after hearing so many PC raves and liking her books. For one thing, SPF 15 really isn't enough for most days (I'm in Florida), and it really,...

    I really like Paula's products but this one was WAY to greasy for my oily skin. It didn't seem ti absorb well and left me really shiny. It gave me moisture I didn't really need. Also, it smells...

    This product works really well on my combination skin. I love that it contains antioxidants and for me it seems to be just the right amount of light, non-greasy moisturizing. Better yet, it...

    The only problem I had with this sunscreen was that it made my face oily. I did not like that and it did not sink into my skin very well. My face felt very sticky. Other than that, I thought the...

    ok, not bad, there's better out there. makes my face shiny due to avobenzene indgedient. I don't believe that a sunscreen HAS to have this inorder to prevent wrinkles.

    Paula should change the name of this sunscreen. It's sticky and greasy, smells weird too. Olay Complete UV is so much better and cheaper.
