Good everyday sunscreen
I use this sunscreen as a daily sunscreen underneath makeup. It works great and protected my skin. It gives a radiant look to the skin.

Crumbles, flakes under my CC cream
I'm not really that thrilled with this product. I was hoping to find one that worked well with my NARS tinted moisturizer, but this one crumbles and flakes like all the other ones. I will say that it's not as oily as the other ones. The SPF being under 50 makes me nervous. I'm using this over PIH treatments. It doesn't have a scent, which is great. I guess it's not worth the price, but it's not the best sunscreen out there.

Great product
My skin protection is vital. This sun screen is very effective, easily applied, easily absorbed by skin, and has a lovely finish.

Excellent, quality sunscreen
I normally can't stand sunscreens, but this sunscreen drys clear and is non greasy/sticky. I have sensitive skin, but this sunscreen does not seem to irritate it or cause breakouts. I recommend it for people picky about sunscreen to use on their face, neck, chest, and even the arms/shoulders. The product appears to protect the skin well and doesn't have some of the more harmful ingredients contained in many other sunscreens. Downside of the product is that it is pricier than many drugstore sunscreens and the bottle is not large, but you shouldn't go cheap on your skin, especially your face. It is very important to always protect yourself from the sun and not use harmful ingredients to do so.

The Best Sunscreen
I love this product, it goes on like silk and disappears completely. It has no scent, feels like nothing on the my skin, it's completely non irritating and yet offers great physical sun blocking protection. It is neither mattifying nor luminous and as such can work well for anyone. I also love the tinted version which I would recommend over this if your skin is darker than a fair or light complexion.

Great mineral sunscreen for under makeup
I needed a mineral sunscreen that left my skin feeling balanced, not too dewy and not to matte. This delivers. It's a great product, nice texture. It absorbs quickly but as with any sunscreen, let it fully absorb before applying makeup so that it does not pill.

Good under makeup
It blends into the skin well without stickiness and provides a nice base for make up or tinted moisturizer. It's a SPF, not moisturizer so if my skin needs moisturizer that day, I try to wait a few minutes between that step and the SPF so the moisturizer can soak in and the protection isn't diluted.

Not for me
This product is oil free but the description states that is moisturizers. I have dry skin and this did nothing to moisturize it. It left my face looking old. Plus there was a bit of white cast left behind that didn't go away. If you have oily skin you might really like this but it's just not right for my skin type.

FINALLY!!!!!!!
I love this stuff. It sits so well under makeup!! I put it on after all my skincare and before makeup. Leaves a natural, semi-matte finish. It's just awesome. Also, it does NOT smell like anything at all!!!!

Not good for dry skin
This is the first sunscreen I've found that doesn't smell like sunscreen and doesn't sting the sensitive skin around my eyes. It's lightweight and non-greasy, and it really is great for sensitive and post-treatment skin. I gave only four stars because my skin is a little dry with fine lines, and this stuff is not moisturizing at all. It makes my dry skin more noticeable! I have to mix it with a moisturizer to get a decent result.
