I’ve tried soooo many tinted “mineral” sunscreens (zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide) since I started wearing sunscreen every day back in 2002. Back then options were more limited, spf was lower. They’ve come a long way! I can’t believe I didn’t try this one sooner! This one did not disappoint and is on its way to becoming my daily favorite for my face. High SPF, Large size!!, tint is perfect (I’m light neutral), no white cast. It has a perfect “glow” without being greasy and heavy and doesn’t become dry and cakey as the day wears on. I’d say I have normal skin, I use tretinoin regularly, I don’t break out much anymore since menopause and this doesn’t clog my pores. I tend not to wear other foundation makeup (I do concealer under my eyes and cream blush on cheeks) but it seems like it would work well with makeup. It glides on almost like nothing at all, with the texture being the ultimate stand out……not quite like anything else I’ve used. It’s not too thick, not too runny, feels lightweight and not too wet going on, but also not too silicone-y dry. Don’t know how they did that perfect texture/feel but it’s worth every cent!

I have been searching for a vitamin C/vitamin C alternative to add to my skincare routine. I’ve tried so many different products from various brands without success. I had high hopes for this product because of the Obagi name and claim that it can be used on sensitive skin, but my skin is just too sensitive. Something in the ingredient list did not work well with my skin. The product was silky and went on smoothly with no immediate skin reaction, but after a couple hours my skin would be red and itchy. This was the only new product I introduced, so sadly I knew it had to be the culprit. I stopped using it and reintroduced it a couple times and every time I got the same result. I gave the product to my sister who has normal skin, and she loved it. It just didn’t work for me.

I used morning and night. Went through an entire bottle and although I saw some brightening, it wasn’t enough to justify the price. I gave 4 stars because the ingredient list is excellent, and it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin, but the results just weren’t what I was expecting.
