Does not cause breakouts
Date:November 10, 2011
For years I have not worn enough sunscreen on my face, because I could not find one that did not exacerbate my acne. I have been using this sunscreen for 6 months (with the Blemish + Age Defense serum) and have had NO breakouts! Such a relief! As a bonus, it is lightweight and gives my skin a glow. I love it!

Best sunscreen
Date:October 27, 2011
I love this sunscreen a lot. It goes on very smooth, does not leave face with any grease, but feels moisturizing! It is not easy to find a product that does not cause breakouts and this one definitely does not. I use it every day and highly recommend it. Living in a sunny city year round, it is key to protect my skin and I am happy to have found this product.

The best sunscreen
Date:October 7, 2011
I have sensitive skin and this sunscreen is working well for me. It goes on lightly and absorbs quickly. Great to wear under my make-up. A little goes a long way. I wear it all year around.

My favorite
Date:September 13, 2011
This is my all time favorite sunscreen for the face. I can wear it every day without midday shine or breakouts. It brightens my skin slightly but doesn't look chalky like other physical blocks. It looks and feels like I have nothing on my face. There is another sunscreen on the market with a similar formula but skinceuticals has a higher SPF, a lower price, and a much more subtle and pleasant smell. I recomend this to my friends because I wish I had found it earlier.
