This is not for those with combination or oily skin. It is a very thick, oily sunscreen that contains olive oil and silicones. Dual Defense has the consistency of Elmers Glue and applies very tacky...

Thank god I didn't buy this! I had a sample kicking around and started using it when my Neutrogena Pore Refining moisturizer was running out. I got four days out of the sample and on day four I...

Ick. I tried a sample of this and would not purchase at all. I have never experienced a product that left such a greasy finish on my skin--all day long. It does not smell, did not break me out ,...

I really, really like this product. I have a problem with sunscreens drying out my skin, but I don't like oily sunscreens that slide off my face. I don't like the strong sunscreen scent, but it...

I have mixed feelings about this sunscreen. When I first bought it and tried it for the first time, my initial reaction was no way will I ever repurchase it. It was very thick and just felt soo...

Too greasy for my normal skin. I'd love it if they made something a bit more natural like Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF. Not sure why they haven't improved this SPF yet, as its...

I agree with others who have said that this cream is very rich and it does take some time to sink in. That being said, I have dry skin that does sometimes break-out and appreciate the way this...

This is a somewhat heavy, very moisterising sunscreen. I am a ppp with a lot of red in my skin and this product goes on so white it actually substantially reduces my redness. I try to avoid using...

Since everybody seems to hate this, I felt I had to give my positive feedback. This does have a sort of greasy feel, but my skin is dry and seems to like this. It never made me break out and my...

Very expensive for sunscreen and its a bit heavy. Better off getting typical spf15 sunblock lotion at your nearest Walmart as there isn't a whole lot of difference.

I tried a sample on a really hot summer day, and it broke me out like crazy. It gave me a whole bunch of little whiteheads. Maybe someone with really dry skin would like it. I'm normal/combo. My...

I would agree with previous reviewer. Too sticky and thick. I ended up using mine like regular sunscreen on my arms and hands etc! Won't buy it again. I do like DHC's natural ingredients, though.

I tried a sample of this water-based sunscreen. I was rather thick, went on sticky and made my face shiny. Not a great everyday choice for combo or oily skin. Dry skin types may find the olive oil...
