I use to use a lot of products to provide protection to my face. Now I just use toner and NIA24 in the morning and my face look and feel great. The scent is very mild and pleasant. The cream itself absorbed right into my skin and does not leave it feeling greasy or heavy (and I have dry skin). I wish I knew about this product sooner. It would have saved me a lot of money.

I have been buying NIA24 each spring for about four years. It has always come in a 3.4 ounce size. What a shock this year when it arrived and the tube looked so small. It looks smaller, because is is smaller. The tube is now 2.5 ounces. Since I wasn't expecting the size to change, I didn't check my old tube to see how many ounces it was. The product is wonderful, but I am not happy paying more money this year than last year, and getting less product. NIA24 deserves five stars, but I give it only three stars due to the surprise of the smaller tube.

...is the absolute, very best stuff on earth for my super-white, freckly, sensitive skin. It has a lovely, natural, pleasant smell which I personally do not find overwhelming at all. The redness that some people may experience is due to the big boost of niacin in the product; continued use will eliminate that issue in most people. The company plainly states that a bit of redness is normal. For me, it's worth the extra money for something that works so brilliantly. I love it.

I live in Florida, so I really need good sun protection. Unfortunately, I also have oily skin and acne, which are aggravated by most sun protection products. NIA24 works great without adding unnecessary moisturizers (add your own if you really need it!) or chemical sunscreens like avobenzone and oxybenzone. Couldn't be happier with this product.

I have been using NIA products for the last 6 months, at the recommendation of my skin care specialist. They are nothing short of amazing! After trying numerous sun block products- most of which are too thick/thin to penetrate the skin barrier, NIA is the perfect choice. It has a wonderful scent, goes on evenly and works as advertised for hours. For someone like myself with extensive sun damage, it has lightened the areas of discoloration and protects the skin throughout the day.

I purchased this product because it is labeled as fragrance free. Upon opening it I was overwhelmed with a perfumy smell. I called the company and questioned them. They told me that what I smell is called a "masking agent", to cover the bad chemical smell of the product. It smells like strong perfume to me, so I'm not sure what the definition of a "masking agent" is. Whatever it is, it is not fragrance free. It seems like very deceitful advertising to me.

My doctor recommended this to me years ago and I have been using it since. I agree with the other reviewer the size has shrunk considerably, but no other sunscreen compares. Its very light, I use it on my face -- prior to using it my freckles on my face would multiply in the summer, no more!! This stuff works well on my olive skin tone, I have just begun using it on my arms and hands as well, its non greasy and doesn't clog my pores..

After reading many favorable reviews about this sun product, I decided to try it. Unfortunately when I applied the cream to my face I noticed my skin became much redder than usual. I tried it again on a different day and the same thing happened. A friend of mine who is a dermatologist told me it was because of the niacin--some people who are very sensitive to it will have a red, inflammatory reaction and should not use any product containing it. When I called the company to ask about a refund, they told me they could not refund my purchase because I had opened the container.Of course, I'm now saying to myself, "How else would I know that I couldn't use it??", but the woman was very curt, abrupt and didn't have anything else to add. Never again will I order any make-up- style product from a company I've never heard of. Sephora would have readily taken it back--no questions asked--just show us the receipt. My loss this time ($50)--never again.

I love this sunscreen. It goes on great, doesn't clog up my pores and actually makes my skin look better. And they don't test on animals, which is a biggie for me. So this is a thumbs up all around!

Is it weird to say this product changed my life? Because this product changed my life. I'm fair--like, I burn horribly in the sun--and have very sensitive skin. I break out with conventional sunscreens. But this stuff was so gentle, so natural, it almost felt like my skin began craving it. I now put it on my hands as well, to save the skin on my hands from burning during my commute to work. This stuff is so light, breathable and comfortable, and it really FEELS like something good is happening to your skin. I bought this when it was mentioned in a Martha Stewart Magazine article about the basics of facial skin care; it said niacin had been shown to repair skin damage. I'm in my early 30s and was horrified to see the beginnings of smile lines and my skin losing elasticity. But this stuff is helping. I can't recommend it enough!
