Cosmetically Elegant Physical Sunscreen
I would say this suits fair to medium complexions. I like that it provides light coverage and evens out my skin tone, so I dont need to wear any make-up. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 is because it occasionally stings a bit. I find La Roche Posay Tinted Mineral sunscreen to be gentler for my sensitive skin but that one is too dark for my complexion.

Favorite daily use sunscreen ever!
Im only giving this product 4 stars because while it is far and away the best facial sunscreen Ive ever used (besides a discontinued other Skinceuticals sunscreen product hmph), its not quite perfect. First the good: I have fair combination, slightly sensitive skin. While this products tint will not work for darker skin tones, it works beautifully on mine. It does this amazing thing Ive never encountered before - it mattifies and evens out my skin tone while giving it the subtlest glow. As someone who does not need to wear foundation and just has some light acne scarring and blackheads, it truly makes my skin look beautiful. I also enjoy the coverage - more liquidy than most sunscreens but it makes it easier to blend in as well. The only thing I would change about this product (it really should just be 1/2 a star off) is that if my skin is a little dry or flaky, its more noticeable that Im wearing a tinted lotion. But all in all, this product is amazing. Truly my favorite beauty product!

So far the best Ive found
Ive been searching for a good suntan lotion for the face of a long, long time. Ive had multiple bouts of basal cell skin cancer and need a high SPF. I HATE when lotions make my face feel all greasy and dirty. Most lotions are too heavy, too smelly, make my skin look too white, and/or sting my face. So far, I really like this lotion. I can tell I have it on, but its not too heavy or greasy. I like the light tint it has, and so it definitely doesnt make my skin look white. I did have a slight irritation on my neck. Im not really sure if it was from the lotion, but my neck is super, super sensitive. I would have rated this a 5 star review if it werent for that, but again, I cannot be sure that the irritation was from the lotion. Either way, Ill still use it on my face. I also love that it has natural ingredients. Ive read that all these chemicals in most suntan lotions actually CAUSE skin cancer rather than prevent it. Usually when I purchase a zinc based lotion, it is super heavy/greasy and does not absorb into the skin very well. Not true for this product.

Effective SPF
I have been using this product for over a year, maybe even 2 years now. Never ever ever have I gotten burned or even extra freckles (I can become a freckly girl in the summer). I agree with other reviewers that it is runny, but I think that is a benefit to the easy application process and that a little goes a long way. I have light to medium-light skin and the tone works well for me. The only negative that keeps it from begin a 5 star is that if you apply to the forehead and then wear a visor or hat, the product rubs off even after adequate time to dry. So, I just use "regular/clear" sun protection on my forehead to avoid that "yucky" on my hats.

Top sample from my dermatologist
I left my dermatologists office with a goody bag full of sunscreen samples Im an active senior/tennis player and need serious protection. The name brands were familiar. The active ingredients were basically two different classes of chemicals. At my followup, I mentioned the Skinceuticals the doc agreed it was the "most popular." This product had been out of stock, but a new shipment was priced at a discount, good. I like the coverage, the "universal" tint, the non-greasy "shmear" feel when applying--and hopefully the results into summer.

Great product, but might take some getting used to
Pros: First of all, this sunscreen doesnt break me out, and Im very acne prone. Secondly, it is tinted so there is no white-cast effect, which is pretty nice considering this is an SPF 50. Cons: It takes some getting used to because the formula is very thin, you have to shake the bottle (it sounds like there is a little bead inside or something to help with mixing), it smells a little funny straight out of the bottle, but I dont notice it after that. Since the formula is so thin I have to put a little on my fingers, spread that on my face, and then go back for more, whereas with other sunscreens you usually just but a dollop on your fingers and thats it. This makes it hard to tell how much you are putting on, so I hope Im getting enough coverage.
