What a blessing!
I did a lot of research before buying this on sale. The last facial sunscreen I tried burned my face. I still don't know what did it, as the individual ingrediants were all in other products I use. Anyways, I tried this. I'm not outside much, but wanted to anticipate the summer heat/humidity. I need...

not the best
i'm someone with very dry skin due to tretinoin, and i have super duper acne prone skin. i also have hyperpigmentation and slight redness, as well as textured skin. while this sunscreen didn't break me out, the formula is definitely not breathable imo. it pills up very easily if you have hair on you...

Great for Acne
I'm 52 but still deal with acne. This sunscreen is perfect for me - it doesn't cause me to breakout and it wears beautifully under my full face of makeup. I do wish it was a higher spf, but the most important thing to me is that it doesn't cause me to breakout, so I'm willing to accept the lower spf!
Not for fans of the apricot sunscreen
After finally admitting defeat on them bringing the apricot sunscreen back, I finally caved and bought this one. I figured it would be the same texture I enjoyed from the last one and I could simply wear something on top to get the tinted effect. Nope! This leaves a horrible white cast and I'm always within the first five shades of any makeup product. It definitely leaves me too pale, even in the winter.
Could be great
My skin is very fair and oily acne-prone. I like wearing this on no makeup days to balance oil and redness. The texture is smooth, it doesn't break me out, and looks pretty on the skin- but you really have to work it in or you'll look like a ghost. When I use this with makeup or certain skincare products it pills terribly. If they fixed the pilling issue and added some more shades, this would be a great sunscreen.
light weight but leave white cast
I really like it and for me it was good under my makeup. I don't wear full coverage make up so maybe that is why it doesn't peel on me. However, it leaves a white cast and on days that I don't wear make up I have to wear a different SPF. I do like it because it is non greasy. I have super oily skin. I won't be ordering again due to the white cast.
Just okay
This sunscreen was just okay. I think it would be better for someone who has very acne prone skin. I no longer have that issue and am more combo. The green tint is helpful for redness. The biggest con is the smell. I hated the smell.
