Goes on smoothly, with the right amount of sheen
My skin med spa recommended this, and after trying it out, I have to say I love it. I have been wearing it every day. Have not yet tried it out on a sunny day.

My Go To
My all time favorite sunscreen. It goes on smooth, doesn’t leave a white-cast, doesn’t pill, and it makes my skin look amazing. Definitely recommend.

Great for sensitive skin
I love this sunscreen. I have extremely sensitive skin and rosacea and its taken me a while to find a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts. This has been great. No white cast either. Highly recommend.

Best sunscreen for under make up
I was introduced to this sunscreen after I had a BBL. It was so smooth and not heavy. I immediately purchased a bottle to use at home. It works great under makeup or alone.

Favorite sunscreen
I have combination acne prone skin and also deal with some dryness related to tretinoin use. This is my favorite facial sunscreen I’ve found to date. It’s moisturizing but not greasy and wears well under makeup. Has never caused acne or irritation for me.

SkinMedica SPF 35
For me I usually love SkinMedica products, but this SPF 35 cream didn't go on as nicely as I thought. It gave me a slight white tone (must be zinc) too. It just didn't absorb as nicely when I applied. I have dry skin so maybe if I had oily or normal I would have had a better experience.

Exactly what I was looking for
I face used several high end mineral sunscreens and this by far has the best texture—not greasy, blends nicely, and does not irritate my super sensitive skin.

Mineral SPF
I wanted to love this SPF. I am looking to replace the SPF I’ve used for years and am just having a hard time finding one I love.

I am glad to purchase it
I have been using a different brand for a year and switched to this products as I am not 100% sure about the quality of that brand. Now I am pleased with my purchase of this product because it stays on my skin nicely and I feel it covers and protects from UV stronger on my face and neck. I will keep using it and see how things go.

Perfect Daytime Sunscreen
This lotion is perfect to put on under your foundation or as a simple protection from the sun. Living in the South where the sun is strong, I use sunscreen everyday, preferably one that is hydrating and non-greasy. This product is both!

Finally No bad Benzl preservatives
Very difficult to find a sunscreen without benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, etc.. and that works. only con is it expensive and not a lot in the bottle.

Perfect
Smooth emulsion texture, the face will whiten at first, but after a while, it will quickly blend with the skin tone, increase the skin's brightness by about 5%, the whitening is not obvious, and the skin tone is not particularly dark, it can be controlled ! The skin won’t be dull after a day~ It is non-greasy and not stuffy. Although it is not a full matte texture, the oily feeling after film formation is very slight and there is a slight astringent feeling (my neutral to dry skin). After about an hour, the astringent feeling basically disappears.

Not greasy
This SPF moisturizer works well under my makeup and does not irritate my eyes or lips like some SPF moisturizers.

Perfect for sensitive skin and no white cast
This is my favorite basic mineral sunscreen and I use it after I get IPL or when my skin is irritated for some reason. Usually zinc oxide dries me out unless I use a heavy moisturizer first, but this one does not. The texture is elegant and I don't notice a white cast (I am pretty fair, though). Makeup applies nicely over it too, and I've used different serums under it and had no issues. My sister uses this product daily, and she has extremely sensitive skin. Her skin is also more medium-toned and she doesn't get a white cast either.

Amazing daily sunscreen
I’ll preface this review by saying I haven’t worn the sunscreen in a situation where I’m in the sun all day (beach, hiking, etc.), but I have worn it as a daily sunscreen and gone to the gym with it on. First off, it truly has no white cast. I have tried a dozen different mineral sunscreens that say that, reviews say it, and guess what? White cast on my pretty fair skin. This one - you can’t even tell it’s on. Same thing goes for reacting with my skin - it’s so creamy and absorbs quickly, no grease. I use tretinoin 3-4 nights a week and vitamin c almost every morning… this doesn’t sting in the slightest. Also doesn’t bother my eyes. No hesitation to give this five (or more) stars!!
