Leaves a white cast
It's a struggle to find good sunscreen for very sensitive dark skin. Sadly I could not use this because when applied it left a bad white cast. When I tried to wash it off I did notice that it seems to be waterproof though. I will try the tinted option.

Broke me out
The finish is great and so is texture and it leaves minimal white cast but unfortunately this broke me out pretty badly. I really wanted to make it work because it didn't sting my skin but the clogged pores were so bad that I had to stop.

BEST SUNSCREEN
This is THE BEST sunscreen I have ever used!!! It has a cream texture which is easy to apply and not greasy at all. It leaves no white cast but instead brightens up my skin perfectly - even works better than my Bobbi Brown foundation. It absolutely exceeds my expectations. I hated wearing sunscreens but I'm loving it now. I will never use other sunscreens on my face unless they stopped this one so PLEASE DON'T.

I use this on sensitive skin days
I use this instead of my regular sunscreen on days my skin feels sensitive. It absorbs into skin well though you do have to wash a little extra to get off. I will continue to use on the days described.

No streak, no white cast
I'm a guy, and I am always looking for sunblocks that's won't make me look like I'm wearing makeup or leave me looking like a geisha. This stuff works.

So easy to use
The word "essential" in the name of this product sums it up nicely. It's easy to use because it absorbs beautifully. You can put it on and don't have to wait to apply makeup. It has become an essential in my skincare routine.

Only sunscreen I'll use on my face
I love this sunscreen! I wanted to find something that would protect my rosacea and sensitive-skinned face, and this does so beautifully. It's definitely goes on a bit more white than traditional sunscreen, but that's to be expected given it's contents. I've actually liked that because it helps me see where I've applied it. And the whiteness fades after a few minutes! I've worn this sunscreen for walks outside, multiple days at the beach and pool for vacation, and everything in between. It never irritates my skin or breaks me out, and works wonderfully with my rosacea. I also am on an oral medication that makes me hypersensitive to sunlight. This always keeps me protected! I honestly cannot recommend this sunscreen enough. Definitely worth the price tag. I will continue making this my go-to facial sunscreen!

Effective, But Pills My Makeup
I have to use this as a spot treatment as it pills my makeup if I use it underneath. Was surprised by this and won't purchase again. It does work well however as a spot treatment for me.

Best sunscreen ever
This is the best sunscreen I've ever used in my life. It's unscented, it absorbs quickly and it's not sticky. It's also extremely gentle on my skin so it doesn't break me out nor cause any redness. I even feel like it calms my skin down - haven't felt the need to use concealer ever since I started using this. It's honestly better than my Elta MD sunscreen and that's a huge compliment. Kudos to Skinmedica for this amazing product! Will repurchase again and again.
