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.

amazing sunscreen, but slightly drying
This sunscreen is great as it has a nice cosmetic finish, doesn't irritate, and hasn't clogged my pores. The only thing is that I feel like for some reason it really dries out my skin. I have dry skin already, but this accelerates the dryness. It will undo what my daily moisturizer does to help. For that reason I will most likely switch begrudgingly to another sunscreen after this usage is complete.

Look no further, this sunscreen is the best
Holy moly. I'm so glad I tried this sunscreen. I've never loved a sunscreen till now. I have oily and acne prone skin with some sensitivity and this did not break me out or make me excessively oily. I can't stop obsessing over this sunscreen. Seriously, I think I have a problem. If you're contemplating getting this sunscreen, just do it.

Excellent for Sensitive Skin
Love this sunscreen. I mix it with the Elta MD mineral tinted for a bit of color when I want to wear just sunscreen. This sunscreen never irritates my skin or feels heavy. It's perfect all year round and plays well under makeup. I will try the tinted version once I am done with this one to compare.

People of Color Friendly
I love this sunscreen! It's leaves minimal to no cast on darker skin. It's definitely a light, sheer cream that is easy to spread and absorbs quickly like it says. My favorite aspect of this sunscreen is that it's fragrance-free, which is good for sensitive skin (not that that's my skin type). And I can say for myself that it doesn't clog my pores. The only downside is that this sunscreen is not water-resistant, so not ideal if you sweat profusely or are doing activities that involve getting wet. And it's not hard to remove, I use coconut oil to dissolve it and it works for me. I would recommend anyone to give this sunscreen a try. I hope this review helps. Happy purchasing!

Love this sunscreen
I no longer dread applying sunscreen multiple times a day. This sunscreen has a very light, pleasant scent when first applied, rubs in clear, never pills over other products, and reapplies smoothly as well. Effective sun protection. I haven't noticed any breakouts, extra oiliness, or dryness after extended use. Will repurchase!!

I really love it!
It goes on very smoothly, and leaves no white cast. Feels great, even on eye lids. I enjoy putting it on and reapplying through out the day. I have very dry, sensitive skin.

Incredible for Rosacea
BEST sunscreen ever. I tried to get into chemical sunscreens but they burned my skin so badly. This one feels hydrating and does not leave a white cast if you rub it in correctly. Never stings my face and doesn't leave me feeling greasy or sticky. Will keep repurchasing this sunscreen forever
