I was looking yet again for a facial sunscreen for summer to use under makeup. I'm not very faithful about using sunscreen. I know I should be, yet living up north and being one who stays indoors a lot, I don't worry about it like I should. But when summer comes, I try to wear one most days. But I hate the way they feel, and every year I am on the hunt for one that is not greasy or heavy, won't cause breakouts, and works well under makeup. And is not expensive, to boot. That seems to be a really hard combination to find. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is sort of close, but I still find it feels to greasy and heavy on my skin. I gave this one a try this year, and I really like it. As I apply it, I feel like oh no, this is going to be greasy and heavy, too. But no, as soon as I am done applying, it disappears. I really don't feel it on my skin after that. It doesn't leave a white cast once it is applied, and it works well under my makeup. It seems to offer great sun protection. I am very fair and burn easily and I have had no problems. It is a generously sized tube for the price. I use it on my neck and chest, as well. I have had no problem with my eyes stinging as I use it under them. Of course, I am careful not to get it my eyes. No new pimples since using it, no rashes or other irritation either. I think it's a good product, and I recommend it.

Why SPF Matters
SPF (Sun protection factor) measures protection from sunburn caused mainly by UVB rays, but it does not adequately measure how well a sunscreen protects from skin aging and other effects caused primarily by UVA rays. It is a measurement of how long you can stay in the sun with sunscreen before getting burned. Applying sunscreen with an SPF of 15, for example, means that it will take 15 times longer for your skin to begin to burn than it would without sunscreen. However, sunscreens should not be used to increase the time you spend in intense sunlight.
For the best protection, look for the following on sunscreen labels:
- Broad spectrum: provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays
- Water resistant
- Photostable: describes UV protection that won’t break down when exposed to strong UV rays; sunscreens that include Helioplex and Purescreen technologies provide long-lasting, photostable protection
Your Sun Protection Checklist
Apply sunscreen every day! (To help prevent skin cancer, apply generous amounts of SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen for everyday protection. Reapply often during outdoor activities, especially after swimming, perspiring, or using a towel.)
Pick the right product. (Whether you're shopping or skiing, there's a sunscreen that's right for you. Look for cosmetics and moisturizers with sunscreen, as well.)
Going out? Cover up. (If you plan to be outside for an extended period, remember to wear protective clothing. Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, long sleeves, and long pants help shield your skin from sun damage.)
Be a shade seeker. (Try to avoid the sun during those hours when the sun's rays are the strongest--10am to 4pm.)
Need vitamin D? Don't seek the sun. (Although UV radiation is one source of vitamin D, UV exposure also increases the risk of skin cancer. Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet of vitamin supplements.)
No tanning bed is 'safe.' (Tanning beds work by emitting UVA rays, which penetrate deep into the skin. Using tanning beds may increase the risk of some forms of skin cancer.)

Matte protection
I'm in the sun about a half hour a day walking most days and in the car about a half hour a day and it's currently summer. I also recently started putting on a heavy duty acne treatment that makes your skin sun sensitive. That being said, I was really happy with how little product I needed to cover my shoulders and face. It comes out white and smells lightly like a traditional sunscreen and the scent dissipates. When it absorbs into your skin on application the white vanishes. It didn't dry out my face nor did I notice an increase in moisture I put a matte moisturizer on in the morning and this picture was taken after blotting my face about 5 hours later with a little shine I had (then applying this product). It was matte to the look and touch and stayed that way for hours after! I was happy with that and actually feel like it did a better job with mattefying than my moisturizer does, though it could have been a mix of the two. No redness after sun exposure after, it was lightweight on my face and I'm happy about the purchase!
