body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 4.22 out of 5 stars140 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewGreat everyday moisturizer that has sunscreenAllergic to many anti aging items and havent been able to find a good day time moisturizer that helped with oil control. Love the dermalogica brand but some of the products meant for older than teens contain the items I am allergic to. Thought I would give this a try. Glad I did. Love that it helps control oil and does not feel heavy or greasy. Makes my skin soft. Does have a smell to it but nothing stronger than your typical sunscreen has (it does have a spf) so that is why it has a smell. But anti aging is important and thus I need sunscreen so once covered you cant smell it anymore. Plus I am super sensitive so smells easily irritate me but this does not.Most Helpful Critical ReviewNot a good as the Proactiv versionI switched to Dermalogica from Proactiv (I was a user for 10 yrs). I had really clear skin before but my friends kept saying, Proactiv is stripping your skin blah blah blah (I had reached clear skin levels by consistently using the Proactiv line). Suddenly I had an issue as my local Ulta had ran out of Proactiv, this I caused me to substitute with the Dermalogica line. I agree with some previous posts that this one isn't the best daily moisturizer. I have used this product for about a year +. It is an okay second to proactiv but is way better than the Cetavil and drugstore in general (those leave me greasy and oily and itchy). I have tried it in the dead of North East- US/Canada winter and as humid as NC, USA. It works best during the winter and is horrible if you are doing any activity in the dead of humid summer. For some context, I have combination skin and my T zone is the oilest portion of my face. I use, cleanser, exfoliates, toner, spot treatment and lastly this moisturizer, to lock in the previous procedure. Usage was both during day and night and I can assert that I woke up oily.Reviewed by 140 customersEH...3Alicia P from DelawareI had high hopes for the moisturizer. Did it completely let me down? No, but here's the real deal. For one, it smells. So if you're sensitive to fragrance, this may not be for you. It also goes in white, so be sure to rub it in well or you'll have white streaks on your face. Not sure if I hate it or just think it's ok... def don't love it though.Great spf!!4Sam from FLI have been on the search for a daily moisturizer with SPF that won't make me breakout or break the bank. This does both perfectly! I have broken out with CeraVe and differen daily moisturizers with SPF but this one hasn't cause any issues.No white cast!!5KellyG from FloridaWent to a dermalogica event ulta was having and tried this as a sample and just had to purchase!! No white cast, not too greasy, very light, easy to distribute, and does not clog my pores or break me out at all.Love this as face sunscreen5CW from USAI've been using this SPF everyday for about 2 months now. It's pricey but worth it. It does not break me out at all, and the texture is really nice. I like to use it after using a moisturizer (I don't use this as a moisturizer). For me it would be too dry to use alone. As an SPF though it's great. It doesn't have a sunscreen smell and the mattifying doesn't leave me feeling greasy. The bottle isn't huge but it lasts.Not heavy or greasy5Mariposa from Saint Louis MoI have adult acne and couldn't find a day cream to use that wasn't greasy or drying. I decided to try this and I'm very happy with it! Not greasy and it does not dry out my skin. Perfect !Great for combo skin5MrsPineapples from CaMy skin is more balanced when I use this, my oily areas aren't so shiny and my dry areas aren't as flakey. It works great under makeup just let it fully sink in. Most importantly it doesn't break me outNot mattifying, but keeps breakouts at bay.4Nat from PAI've been struggling with maskne during this pandemic as I was working all through quarantine and wearing a mask 8 hours a day. This is the only moisturizer I've been able to wear. Although it is not mattifying (I'd say it gives you a dewy finish), I don't have oily skin so it's not a problem for me. I rarely break out in this moisturizer and it's been my go-to when trying to avoid maskne.Love it5Bre from ColoradoI mix this with craves dry skin lotion and its the perfect combination of protection, long lasting moisture, and keeps my face shine-less. Love it.Not a good as the Proactiv version3IcedBlu from Williamsville, NYI switched to Dermalogica from Proactiv (I was a user for 10 yrs).

I'm literally a grease ball. But I'm very new to skin care routines but I recently learned I needed to use a SPF for the other products in my new routine. I bought this product because I loved that it's formulated with green tea extract and it was a more affordable dermalogica product. WORST purchase ever. It says it's for oily skin and I highly disagree. It went on like rubbing cold butter on my face. I hated it. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt because it felt amazing on my face after it dried. But not even an hour later I was in the sun for about 10 mins and my whole forehead was covered in grease and my eyes were BURNING(the chemicals in it are very strong). I tried applying more but didn't help. I even had a few new breakouts at night when I went to wash it off. Please stay away from this product if you have oily skin.Made my skin oily1Trini Diva from MarylandI loved it when it was SPF15, but now that it is SPF45, it leaves my faces oily. I really wanted to give this the benefit of the doubt.Causes Comedones3Valerie from Cleveland, OHThis is my second SPF moisturizer I have tried. The first left me SUPER oily. This Dermalogica one did not have me very oily at all, and has a good refreshing scent to it! I didn't feel like I was getting very oily throughout the day either and it was really protecting me from the sun! I thought I'd found the one. Now I'm noticing that I get a lot of comedones (under the skin white heads/bumps) that develop throughout the day. Go to away/subside over night after I've cleansed my face well, but then show right back up once I've put the moisturizer on again. Unfortunately think I'm goin to have to stop using and start my search again.UH-MAY-ZINGGGG5Jo from New HampshireEveryone who has problems with acne---YOU need to get yourself some of this! For years I didn't use SPF on my face because I was so prone to terrible cystic acne breakouts.. well, that's no longer an issue. This stuff is the bomb!Love this product!5Joslyn from CAI have ultra oily skin and don't have time to blot all day! I did extensive research before I purchased this product and it works great on my skin!Waste of money1Jo from New YorkThis products is the exact opposite of mattifying I have combination skin and it makes my skin super oily by just applying it not only that it cause severe breakouts within your entire face such a waste.I mean i guess3Mel from 10989So i understand that spf is suppose i act some oilyness but everytime i use this my T-zone is extra oily!!!! It's great in protecting my skin but it also breaks me out a bit.Just buy it!!!!5Kerem from New JerseyI have combination skin that gets a lot of breakouts in a day. But, I also struggle with rosacea on my cheeks. This sunscreen is so lightweight! I've applied it onto my skin 2x today and my skin looks perfectly matte and it feels like I'm just wearing moisturizer. The redness on my cheeks has toned down as well. I am so impressed with this sunscreen. I finally found the one!!!Not the product for me1Starla Young from Oklahoma City, OKI wanted to really like this product for its dual purpose. But this completely freaked out my skin. My acne was large and painful. Once I stopped using this I was okay. For some this may work, but it was too much for my skin. I returned it after a week of use.Causes severe breakouts quick1Mya from NYThis product does the opposite of what it claims. Within one use of this product and I started to breakout within a day. I wear this with no makeup so I know for sure this is the cause. Caused breakouts on my cheeks and forehead. It claims to be mattifying and yet made my face extremely oily and greasy. Within 4 hours of wearing this I touched my face and my hand looked like I touched oil. Would give it zero stars if I could.Holy Grail5Nicole from New YorkI have oily acne skin. A lot of spfs feel heavy, break me out, leaves a white cast and makes my oily skin look super greasy. This product does absolutely none of that! It's a great price in my opinion. I've paid a hefty price for high end skincare. I'm just so happy I finally found an spf that works well with my skin. It leaves this beautiful soft matte finish and my skin feels moisturized.They changed it1Danielle from MichiganI loved it when it was spf 15 now my face breaks out from itLove this product5Gianna from New Yorkspf tends to make me breakout this product is very lightweight and clean feeling smells great and works awesome for my skin typeWill buy again5AF from ChicagoLOVE this moisturizer. I sometimes use it under my makeup alone as a primer and everything sets super nice.I will buy this product again.5Jenn from Beverly , Ma.This is a great moisturizer with sunscreen. It helps combat environmental skin stressors and breakout prone skin.I really like this5CJ from Charleston wvI have really dry skin but I have a problem,with moisturizers causing my skin to break out. I couldnt find my go to moisturizer anywhere so researched and thought I'd give this a try. Ive used it for a week. Still no issues with my skin. And I love the way it makes my skin look even without makeup on. I personally think its expensive. But its worth it.
