I dislike coneful products, but this one doesn't bother me. It seems to actually help in making my pores look smaller during the day. It does the job, and I make sure to use a cleansing oil...

I tried both 55 and 33 lotions, and they were too drying/ irritating. I have slightly sensitive, combination skin, and the cream s/s is much easier to tolerate. It is matte, like the lotion, but...

I've previously used the SPF 55 cream as my daily sunscreen. However, I found that to be more drying, more mask like, and also, oddly enough, to leave me with a shinier finish for a while after...

This saved a lot of time for me. I have uber oily skin, so during mid-day my skin would be oily all over and my foundation would just melt off and you can see all my pimples and blemishes. I hated...

Due to the Retisol-A that I use for my acne, it's important that I use sun protection in the day. I find that this is an excellent product. It is smooth like a thick moisturizer but blends in...
