This is my first time to try this particular sunscreen and I loved it!It really is non-greasy.perfect for warmer weathers.

I am obsessed with sunscreen and have probably tried 20 different ones in the past few years. This is the best sunscreen I've ever used! It's an SPF 55, it doesn't cause my skin to breakout, it is waterproof/resistant, so it stays put when it's super hot out, and it is not greasy or oily, but dries with a relatively matte finish. Due to its high zinc oxide content, it works really well to keep the sun off my skin. I usually tan with most sunscreens, but not with this one! I Love it!

i've been using this product for a week now and its really excellent (so far)!not sticky or oily on the skin even in very hot weather especially for me who has a slightly oily face. another thing is the skin feels very smooth and moisturized when you wash it out after wearing it for a day. i highly recommend this product!

I have extremely sensitive skin and almost every product makes me breakout. I have been using Cetaphil Sunblock for years now because it was the only one that my skin didn't react to, but it left my skin oily. I tried this when I received a sample and I just loved it and had to buy it right away. This sunscreen I put on after my Shiseido Oil Reducing regimen and it actually acts as a base under my makeup. It leaves my skin with a matte finish and makes my skin less oily. It's thick, but blends in well and doesn't leave a white film on my face. I even go out without any powder on now. It is extremely water proof though and when you sweat at the gym or get wet in the water it looks a little funny because the water just beads up and stays there. Other then that I highly recommend this product. As for the sun protection I usually tan very easily using sunblock, but I do not get any color when I wear this. I use this on my face, neck and chest.

I read many positive reviews of this product before purchasing it, but I found it to be ineffective and am still searching for a good face sunscreen. There was no expiration date on the bottle or package (also disappointing since sunscreen does not have a long life), so perhaps the product was expired. Regardless, it did not work well for me, and I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted this much money on an ineffective product.

I would actually give this 3.5 stars. The sunscreen is silky and feels really light, but my biggest complaint is that it doesn't blend in with my complexion very well. I'm a pretty pale guy but not completely white, and the sunscreen makes me look a little off, not a whole lot but enough for me to notice.

But besides that..the Zinc sunscreen formula is great. I was looking for a Zinc-based daily sunscreen to help protect me from wrinkles and sun spots. I'm a man and have read that OxyBenzone and other chemical sunscreens are bad for my hormones, and actually might make sun damage WORSE because after 2 hours the formula becomes unstable and makes your skin extra sensitive to sun. Zinc doesn't do this, because it's literally blocking the sun not just coating the skin with clear chemicals.

Next time I think I will try a lower SPF so it's not QUITE as thick on my complexion. If you are a pale girl, then this would probably be great. But if you don't want to look like you have white foundation or something on your face, this might not be for you.
