Most Helpful Positive Review 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 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 Review 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 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.

I use this daily! One of my favorite companies and love that they have an affordable line.
My boyfriend said I smelled like an old lady! 2
Kiara from Michigan
I gave this thing a fair go, and used the product to completion within 6 months of buying it; this product sucks. For reference, I have fairly normal skin that can lean a bit dry every now and again, but struggle with acne. The smell is strong and I was never a fan, but the worst was when my boyfriend said I smelled like an old lady. It irritated my skin, my face felt hot and small bumps appeared whenever I used it. The only positive is that the sunscreen does work, I never burned once. Definitely not good enough to repurchase though.
Absolute Favorite 5
TeeV from Houston
After years of trying different moisturizers with SPF, this one is the winner! It's lightweight and doesn't clog pores. In my humble opinion, it's much better than Unseen Sunscreen by Goop.
Made me oily 2
Nicole from Maryland
Bought this because I wanted a daily moisturizer that would mattify and contain SPF. I have naturally oily skin and this made it 10x worse. My makeup was invisible by the end of the day. It also smells terrible. Will be returning ASAP.
The best mattiffying sunscreen in the US! 5
Danny from North Carolina
I have extremely oily skin and I got a sample of this sunscreen to give it a try and OMG I bought 4 bottles right away! I have been trying a lot of sunscreen to find one that last for a while without leaving my skin shinny. And this is the only one so far that did that. It didn't break me out and I have acne prone skin. Besides all of that, considering Dermalogica price point, it's an affordable option for the brand. I'm afraid that they discontinued or change the formula since they already change the package. It used to be a blue packaging now it's yellow, I almost couldn't find because I didn't realize they changed. I'm giving 5 stars with the hope that more people will buy it and like it so they don't discontinue.
Great for oily acne prone skin 5
Ally cat from Virginia
I've been using this product for a year now. I have oily acne prone skin. I have noticed over time it keeps my skin Matt for most of the day. no product is perfect but this comes close. I've tried so many others. I buy two at a time since I use this practically every day. I do use the acne spot treatment too for days I have a blemish. good product though
Works for my routine! 5

I love using this moisturizer as part of my morning routine. The matte finish definitely helps with my combo skin type! It smells good and rubs in easily.

Krisztina from Undisclosed
I love this. It has a smooth texture that blends very well, no white residue showing on my face. It controls oil pretty well all day. It never irritates or stings.
This is the only moisturizer 5
Shani from Undisclosed
This is the only moisturizer that helps my oily skin become matte without drying it out too much. However I wouldn't use it in the winter time. I love the Dermalogica brand for my skin.

Riannon from Undisclosed
This product is amazing as long as you re apply during the day it works wonders and my face never feels oily or gross after it. I honestly didn't like using SPFs before this product.

Maggie L1984 from Los Angels

Does everything it says and more 5
Lakshmi from Undisclosed
This product does everything it says and more! This is my favorite of the Dermalogica items I tested in my most recent order. It's not a particularly moisturizing moisturizer, but that's OK with me because I don't have dry skin. The SPF and skin tone-balancing properties were just what I was looking for.
I really enjoyed this product 5
julissa from Undisclosed
I really enjoyed this product so much, my forehead tends to get very dry but using this spf really helped my forehead stay moisturized. I get very oily in my t zone however while using this product I didn't ever get as oily as I use too before. I will definitely be purchasing again !

Love this moisturizer! It's now part of my daily routine. It helps with breakouts, dry skin and gives protection from the sun.

Got this as a sample. I haven't had a single product make my face this oily looking in a long time. . .definitely not recommending it for oily skin types. Doesn't seem to do much for acne for breakouts.
Godsend for Oily Skin 5
Extra Eric from Charlotte, NC
Wow. This is a gamechanger for me. I'm considerably oily, blackhead prone. SPF is important in my routine as I'm retinol user. But not all SPF are on the same level, lots are chalky, thick, and greasy. But this product is nothing of the sort! Absorbs 100% clear even in hair line, acquit moisture, no harsh smell or texture, and the BEST PART - It actually dries down matte. Yes, this SPF makes you matte. I normally have to go over with translucent after skincare even with no other makeup, but this keeps me in perfect balance. Highly recommend!!!
Not my favorite 1
Liyah from Solver Spring, MD
I needed an spf for my sensitive skin. And this hasn't given me any irritation yet but it's very greasy and it's very uncomfortable to spread on my skin. It feels like I'm spreading something gritty on my face. It kind of hurts and I have a light burning sensation when I finish spreading it. Not going to buy another one.
Nice product 5
MissJay from Michigan
I use this after my moisturizer in the morning and reapply before I go outside. I like the texture and the smell. It doesn't smell like sunscreen.
