Great product in the facial moisturizers category

This is the only sunscreen my husband can use. He is very sensitive to odors and this is very neutral. Sweat drips into his eyes when he rides a bike or runs, and some sunscreens can burn his eyes, but not this one. I like it too, but because of the price - I'm just buying it for him.

Pros
  • crossing my fingers
Cons
  • weak

Good light SPF

A great light SPF moisturizer. I have oily skin and still feel like it works well for me under makeup. It doesn't quite mattify (it really shouldn't), but it doesn't add to the oiliness either. Really light smell; no strong sunscreen smell like some. I guess I probably won't use this for my daily moisturizer since I work in an office and SPF isn't usually my priority, but I like to have it on hand for when I'm out in the sun on days.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Eliminates oily skin

I had high hopes for this product after reading many positive reviews online. I have combination skin and was dying to keep my T-zone from looking shiny and oily by midday. To me, some moisturizers go through cycles of working and stopping, you know what I mean? After just the first day of using this clear moisturizer, I noticed a significant difference! I also switched to a new oil-free foundation (Tarte Revainian Clay Foundation!) so the combination with this moisturizer made my skin look…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Anything I can add

True to its word and safe for rosacea

Works very well but it's quite watery so I've always kept it in a plastic bag in case it should burst. This expiry date is also real. Used it once a month past its expiry date and it was gross and crumbling all day. X)

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Safety

Love! Creams and Moisturizers

I LOVE this lotion! I've tried so many different sunscreens and after a day or so I broke out. This lotion gives my skin a nice matte finish and seems to help clear my blemishes too! I'm so glad I found this!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Factor Set

, I have terribly oily, tight, sensitive, acne prone and aging skin and this is the best lotion I have found for it. Even though it contains sunscreen, I still wear it at night because even the other lotions in this line don't work as well. It absorbs very well and reduces oiliness. Works best on dry skin; Doesn't absorb well on damp skin and I usually apply 2 coats a few minutes apart and whenever I feel dry. It doesn't accumulate too much on the skin. I've been using it for about 2 years in…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Dear Madam

Not for my face

It contains oxybenzone which is not suitable for sensitive skin. Made my skin itchy. I really like this brand, but I can't find a chemical sunscreen that doesn't contain this ingredient.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • I will add later

Just Good, Not So Good

Just Good. This may leave a slight white tinge; The moisturizer itself is very runny but still thick after being applied to the skin. I've noticed on a number of occasions that they're something like pills, if you will? I feel like I have to scrape off the excess moisturizer. So a little really makes a big difference. I just love making sure I'm putting the right amount of SPF on my face! Not my favorite but for the price and quantity you get I will finish the bottle.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Sad Packaging

That's all true. Not ideal for dry skin as you will need to use more!

I just ran out of this little $30 tube. I was expecting it to last longer based on the reviews and the money I paid. The lightweight claim is absolutely correct - it does not grease the skin and is very easy to apply without having to wash your hands afterwards. I only apply it once a day and it doesn't feel sticky at all which is very important to me as I usually find my face to be shiny and oily at the end of the day with other moisturizers. I also believe that spf is TRUE. I'm outdoors a…

Pros
  • Same as all before
Cons
  • Approximately
