4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent alternative to regular sunscreen, June 19, 2008

This product is excellent!!!! I have very sensitive skin and most sunscreens turn my entire face red when I use them (I am allergic to anything that has any type of glycol or salicylate in it). This product does not turn my skin red in any way. It does not rub off at all like most other powders do.

I bought the All Clear color in a full size and there is a lot of powder in the tube. I am not that crazy about the brush that comes in this package because bristles keep breaking off and staying on my face (they are hard to remove), but they distribute the powder sufficiently. When using the brush, make sure the sliding brush protector snaps when you push it down in order to have the brush distribute the powder (you will see what I am talking about when looking at the product). The case is very portable and can easily be carried in a purse for touch ups.

However, I have a light medium skin tone and the All Clear casts a slightly pale sheen to my skin (which would be fine for my much lighter winter skin color since I live in So Cal and use sunscreen in the winter, but not for my summer skin color). If you are medium- or darker-skinned, you are better off trying the Perfectly Clear (medium skin tone) or the Almost Clear (darker skin tones) as they have some color to them and won't look so drastic compared to the All Clear alone on your skin. If you have paler skin, the All Clear should work just fine. If you are considering this product, I would recommend buying a sample of the three main colors (All Clear, Perfectly Clear, and Almost Clear) and trying them out to see which color(s) match your skin (it should look natural on you).

Fortunately, I bought the samples of Perfectly Clear and Almost Clear to try out in case the All Clear was too light for me, while the All Clear looks okay if I work a little to blend it in, I found that Perfectly Clear was a great color for my summer skin tone.

One other thing, remember that it is SPF 30, so if you are going to use this product and spend a significant amount of time in the sun, don't forget to reapply the product often (like you would for an SPF 30 lotion) because the protection will break down faster with more sun exposure.

Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone considering using it. Even though it is very expensive, it is worth it and is a more viable option for me to use sunscreen without having my face turn red. I will be buying this product again.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST, March 31, 2007

By 

me-me (Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 Brush (Misc.)

If you want to protect your skin, hands down this is the best product. It provides full coverage without the annoyances of a lotion...it's not greasy, won't drip in eyes, it's immediate (don't have to wait 20 minutes), it's waterproof, sweat-proof and kids are guaranteed to complain less about this than traditional lotions. It also has cooling properties in it to bring skin temperatures down when out in the sun.

The powder sunscreen works well. It feels the same on my face as my regular face powder.
