MY FAVORITE EVER!! LOVE!!!
Date:May 11, 2012
I have VERY sensitive skin, and this by far is my favorite sunscreen EVER! It is VERY sheer, goes on EXCELLENT under makeup. It NEVER feels sticky. I have very oily skin, and usually if I use sunscreen it makes my face feel greasy, and I will usually break out more but NOT with this product! Also, a little goes a long way.

Leaves a White Residue
Date:April 17, 2012
This leaves a very noticeable white residue on my face. Yes, I rub it in - I live in Calfornia so am accustomed to wearing sunscreen daily and I have NEVER experienced anything like this. Especially with a pricey sunscreen. I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle or what, but I almost look like a Kabuki doll! Very annoyed and disapointed with this product. It's one thing to protect, it's another to look like I"m wearing face armour.

Great product! No stickiness, none greasy!
Date:March 14, 2012
Wow, I can't believe I finally found a sunscreen that I really like! I like the fact that this sunscreen doesn't feel oily, sticky, greasy, heavy, or shiny. It gives me a great matte finish and always gives me a glow look! My previous skin line routine was Serum 10% AOX, Emollience cream, and Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50. Now, I have upgraded my skin regimen to Phloretin CF, Emollience and Sheer Physical UV Defense. Since I been using Skinceuticals product for 3 months now my skin has cleared up and improved tremendously. I even stopped wearing make-up because my face looks just as good as if I was to wear my mineral powder foundation. A month ago, my 3 year old daughter gave me a complement on my skin! She informed me by saying, "Mommy, all your pimples fell off your skin, now your skin looks clear and you have no more pimples!". I'll take that as a compliment anytime! LOL

Great for Golf
Date:March 8, 2012
This product is awesome, it is not greasy, goes on easily and provides great protection. My husband and I both play golf and are in the sun throughtout the year so we needed a product we could trust and this is it.
If I can get my husband to use it--it is a winner!
