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...

The best sunscreen
The best sunscreen I've used! Works well under makeup and actually works nicely as a primer. Love the green cast as it helps with redness. I love that it is fragrance free and it works well with my sensitive skin. Doesn't pill or feel greasy at all. I absolutely love the texture.
Best face sunscreen I've tried
I've wasted so much cash on so many different brands of face sunscreen, all of which advertised that they were safe for sensitive and/or acne-prone skin. This is the first one I've tried that's lived up to those claims! I have fair, combination, sensitive, and cystic acne-prone skin and I've used this many days in a row without any negative side effects. I felt like my skin was still able to breathe, while also feeling adequately protected. I'm grateful that it does not have any fragrance or odor. Immediately upon application, it did have a slight cast to it, but it faded within the first 5 minutes or so. One caveat to my glowing review is that I haven't tried this under makeup yet, so I can't attest to whether it pills under other products or not.
Not for ne
This formula is very drying. I have dry skin to begin with but have been needing mineral sunscreen due to UV sensitivity. It irritated my skin which just made me look even more red. I wish this worked because it's a lovely price point.
white streaks
i wont be getting this again because it leaves white streaks all over my face. i ultimately mixing it with a regular moisturizer to thin it out and it still leaves white streaks and pills. unfortunate.

I love this product, first time buying sunscreen, and it gave me no issues, smells real good and it's not overpowering. Was recommended by Ulta employees and it works great for me!
