Great everyday moisturizer that has sunscreen
Allergic 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 hel...

Not a good as the Proactiv version
I 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...

Works Great with Acne Topical Ointment
This sunscreen has been my go-to for AWHILE. This is the ONLY sunscreen Ive tried that works well with my acne medications and routine - particularly with Azelaic Acid. All other sunscreens Ive tried with this have made my skin feel disgustingly sticky and oily. This sunscreen is the only one which doesnt make me feel gross or sticky. Another plus, I use a generous amount daily but it lasts FOREVER. I only have to purchase 2-3x a year maybe. I have extremely sensitive skin and its lightweight and gentle enough to not irritate my skin. I like that it doesnt really mattify or suck the moisture out of my skin like some other sunscreens feel. Definitely recommend to those on topical acne meds - it's a game-changer.
Great oil free SPF moisturizer for oily faces!
I have super oily skin and decided to try this as I like a more matte finish but with a non drying feel. This hit the spot. It does feel more like a sunscreen due to the texture and smell, but it also gives a moisturized feeling after your am routine and doesn't feel drying. I don't often leave reviews, but as I am about to purchase my 3rd tube, I thought it was worthy!
I'm addicted and struggling switching!!!!!
I've been using this sunscreen for monyhs now. Im on my 4th bottle and I absolutely love it! I have extremely oily skin that's very sensitive. This product not only goes on like a dream and absorbs quickly(which is great for my inpatient rushes lol.) But it also helps mattify under primer and control my oily skin a bit. Now does it completely stop oil breakthroughs No! But lets be real there isn't a single matte or oil free product that will. It takes a routine and work if your skin is like mine. But now I'm being recommended to use physical(mineral) sunscreen due to my melasma. I'm struggling to find one that will work for my skin type and hating letting this one go! Highly recommend this product if you want a good matte, sheer, daily sunscreen.
Pleasantly Surprised!
I have been enjoying this! I have been using it for 2 months now. I'm always on the hunt for a good SPF/moisturizer duo just because I am trying not to add more steps to my skincare routine. Often times, at least with cheaper ones, they leave my face very shiny. Even after hours of wearing this one, I don't see my skin very greasy at all! It's worth a try, especially for this price point!

This is my daily SPF for face, ears, neck and chest, and it never causes breakouts. It's affordable and non-greasy too.
