The Best SPF
I have used other Skinmedica SPF products but purchased this one when I started getting chemical peels. This one is made specifically for post procedure skin. I originally tried the the tinted version but I am fair and it made me look orange. The product is lightweight, creamy, and absorbs beautifully. It did not leave any white cast on me and really helps with moisture and soothing sensitive skin. It works amazing under makeup and it does not make me look oily at all during the day. It did not cause any breakouts and I really feel that it helped overall in the healing process after my chemical peels.

My best experience with sunscreen
This is the best sunscreen i have ever tried. I tried so many different sunscreens before this, and nothing has really satisfied me until this one. No white cast, moisturized very well. Highly recommend it!!!

Fantastic Lightweight Sunscreen
I have oily combination skin that gets hormonal breakouts and is easily congested. This is an amazing sunscreen for me. The texture is nice and smooth. Lightweight but spreads so nicely. It gives skin a beautiful finish, not purposefully matte, but not dewy or greasy. The only word I could use is natural, with no weird residue of any kind. Has not clogged pores and I have been using it for almost 3 months. I have also never burned with this sunscreen. The airless pump is another great highlight. All around great purchase! Super happy with the product performance.

Good Sunscreen, But Hard to Re-Apply
This is a good sunscreen, it does not burn my sensitive skin when I apply it to my face. Great texture, it does not give the usual "white-cast", does not make you look oily. My only problem with it is that whenever I re-apply it to my face, it looks good for a few minutes, then it starts to peel off. Usually around my jaw line and mouth. This is a problem, since sunscreen needs to be applied a few times per day to be effective. I will try another brand next time.

Superior texture and finish for a mineral sunscreen
This product has a truly extraordinary lightness and elegance for a mineral sunscreen. It feels like a lightweight moisturizer and glides over skin very easily. This is an extremely rare experience for a high-percentage mineral filters product.

Love skinmedica
I've never used a Skinmedica product I didn't love. As with all Skinmedica products I didn't have any irritation and love the ultra hygienic pump dispenser. I just wish it was less expensive.

Quality product
SkinMedica is a great line, it's medical grade and I'm glad I can get it at dermstore. I blend a little moisturizer with this, it does go on a bit thick and whiter but it goes into the skin and looks fine after a few minutes. I know my skin is protected using this and I love the fact it's not just sunscreen but has some other anti-aging properties.

The only SPF face product that works for me
I have VERY sensitive (and dry) skin. I've tried a plethora of other face SPF creams (even the zinc based kinds) and everything burns my skin except this one. I first got introduced to this through a dr's office. It feels light when you put it one (I put it on after my moisturizer) and blends into your skin just like regular moisturizer. It doesn't clog my pores, doesn't irritate my skin-I have absolutely zero reaction to it. It's great. I finally have an SPF for my face that I can wear everyday. My sister who does not have sensitive skin like me tried it and also really likes it. She said she loves the texture and feel of it on her skin. Her only concern was the price. She said if she can't find anything like this cheaper, she'll get it for sure. But for me, the price is a non-issue since it's the only product that I can safely use on my face to protect from the sun. Also, I love the size it comes in-perfect for traveling with you. And a little goes a long way. I'm still on my first bottle, which has lasted me close to 6 months (I generally use one pump per day, for reference).

Love this new sunscreen
This new pump dispenser is terrific and the consistency is great. Doesn't even feel like I have anything on except a moisturizer.

Goes on smoothly
I was a little hesitant to try this product at first simply because it was replacing a product they no longer made. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it works just as good. Goes on smooth and absorbs into skin rather quickly. Its also light on the skin so I will continue to use.
