Great sunscreen!
I love this stuff! It is so lightweight and does not break me out. I have been looking for sunscreen that layers well under makeup and this one is perfect and doesn't flake.

Really Nice Mineral Sunscreen
I really like this sunscreen. It's mineral, so you do have to spend more time rubbing it in to get rid of the slight white cast in, but it eventually does go away. It doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. My complaint with it though is that I have to triple cleanse my face at night or else my face isn't clean. So I do one oil cleanse and then two with my gel cleanser.

A great sunscreen
My doctor suggested this sunscreen. It goes on smoothly and provides great protection. It is lightweight, sheer, applies evenly, and absorbs quickly. I love that it is oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic. The only drawback is that because of the packaging, I cannot tell how much is left in the bottle. It would be nice if there was a small strip on the side to show the level of the sunscreen.

As Expected!
As expected with mineral sunscreens that aren't tinted, this will leave a heavy white cast so unless you plan to use this with makeup or an added coloring, go with the tinted version! Also, this sunscreen does not wash off easily so this could be a good thing if you're out sweating

gentle but a little white cast
It is gentle. I will use it when my skin is sensitive. A little white cast but it's acceptable because it will use foundation after the sunscreen. No scent, which is great.

Decent Sunscreen Option
No white cast and doesn't clog my pores! Love that there's no fragrance. Works well on my sensitive skin.

Gentle and effective, but leaves white cast
This is a really gentle sunscreen that works great on even sensitized skin. That said, I am surprised at the comments that describe this sunscreen as elegant to apply and sheer - I do not quite agree. It leaves a significant white cast and takes quite some effort to blend in. I have very fair skin and it makes me look pretty ghostly unless I mix it with a bit of a BB cream or tinted sunscreen. I do really enjoy how it makes my skin feel, but I think worth noting the white cast.
