I bought this for my neck and chest area and to save money on Paula's Choice products. It seems like every time I try to do that, I come crawling back to Paula's Choice with arms open wide. This...

Yes, it's thick. And not terribly cheap for a ss. But it really has a lot of protection without that white ss film on my face. This is the big selling point for me. It seems like a primer and ss in...

Didn't like this at all...like other reviewers stated, this product is SUPER GREASY. It takes forever to sink in and even then it's still tough to apply makeup over. It takes a lot of elbow grease...

My dermatologist recommended this to me as a high-SPF face cream that wouldn't break out my skin. It was WAY too heavy for me. Would maybe be good for the beach, but not for every...

I have tried both the SPF 30 and SPF 60 versions. Both are totally non-irritating to my skin. Also, they did protect my skin very well from teh sun as too. However, these are the only two pluses...

Absolutely the best sunscreen I have ever used, and the only one I can put on my face. After Blue Lizard broke me out (due to a preservative they use) I was starting to despair. I used Ombrelle...

I have used the Vanicream SPF 30. It is a very good sunscreen, no problems with irritation at all. But unfortunately too heavy for my oily facial skin. Okay for the body.
