What happened to the formula?
I used to love this stuff. It was my holy grail suncreen. I think I either got a bad batch or Obagi recently changed the formula. It is way too greasy now and smells strongly of suncreen. Very disappointed.

Non irritating sunscreen!
Applies smoothly and acts as a primer under foundation . I use for sun protection while using Retin A.

Good sunscreen - not a moisturizer
Reliable matte sunscreen. It goes on chalky but within 30 minutes it has blended into the skin. It doesn't moisturize which is a downside, so it can still leave your skin feeling dry. In the past, I would blend Obagi sunscreen with a dollop of moisturizer and then apply. Now I just prefer to use this as an added protection with my SPF moisturizer on days that I know I'm going to be outdoors for more than just a couple of hours.

It works
I have used Obagi products and normally don't complain about their quality. However, this product has a few problems. Firstly, it stings for a few seconds if your skin is dry. Secondly, it is thick and white and has grainy consistency. Almost as if there is very fine sand mixed in. Thirdly, it has a chemical scent. After the application: skin feels smooth and soft, it doesn't seem to block pores, doesn't seem to form little latex-y pieces after a while. I only use dry foundation. It works well with dry. I won't purchase it due to initially described problems.

Great Product
I use this sunscreen every day. It protects my skin and doesn’t make it shiny like other sunscreens.

Too greasy now
I just got a new tube of this Obagi Matte Sunscreen and found it to be very different than past tubes of the same product. I am glad to see I’m not the only one who is seeing a marked difference. It’s greasy and makes my face shine. I can’t use this anymore if this is the new norm.

Not extremely matte—not great for oily skin
I have very oily skin and have been looking for a matte finish daily sunblock . I had hoped this was my solution and while it is better than other non-matte sunscreens, I still have a dewy glow, which is not what I need. I have been fighting dewy glow for 35 years. A little goes a very long way and I like that it can be put on in a thin layer. I just wish it was more matte after application. I will finish the tube I have, but I will not buy it again.

Obaji Matte Sunshield works
This sunshield (sunscreen) really works great. Apply on your face before appying makeup and good for hours. Also great for your body too!!

Obagi Sun Shield
I use this every morning before I apply my make-up and reapply if I’m going to spend an extended amount of time outdoors. It protects my skin from the sun. This is especially important if you use Obagi Tretinoin cream.

Too greasy
I have been using this cream for years, and it works great, but the last one I ordered is too greasy. It seems they do not use the same formula. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

effective sun block
I like this product. It goes on white—the zinc oxide--but immediately is absorbed and leaves no greasy residue on the skin. Perhaps, the word "matte" is confusing if people were thinking it would have a color to it. But, I prefer it the way it is--I like that it goes on colorless and blends right in to my skin.

Great product, fabulous line
Obagi is a daily requirement in the fight against aging skin. After diligent use of this line, I’m back to foundation free for the first time in forty years. This sunscreen is a critical component.

Love this sunscreen!
This has a great non-greasy texture, spreads evenly and provides great protection. Also, there is no fragrance! I absolutely love that there is no fragrance!! Also, it's easy to remove with soap/body wash and water. Highly recommended!

Too whitish and less matte than usual
This sunscreen seems to be more whitish than normal and not as matte as it used to be. I used to love it, but this time not so much. A little bit disappointed.

Formula changed! no longer good
I've used and loved this sunscreen for years. I didn't think twice before reordering it for my vacation to Mexico a few weeks ago. When I actually got to the vacation and opened a new tube of the sunblock, I did not recognize it. It was thick, white, goopy and NOT MATTE. I had to wash it off my face, it was completely unwearable.

So far so good
So it’s been almost a month since I’ve used this sunscreen and so far so good. I like the fact this product haven’t clogged my pores or did it make my face look shiny like most sunscreen. It absorbs well leaving no greasy feel.

Saves My Face
I had two basal cell carcinomas removed on my face, so I need a sunscreen that really works. Not only does it have a high percentage of zinc oxide (10.5%) that my dermatologist recommends, it goes on smoothly—doesn't need a lot of rubbing. The "white" of the product disappears almost immediately, and I can put make up on over it with no pilling or settling into wrinkles later in the day. It works cosmetically, and more importantly, works as the high sun protection I must have.
