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...

I'm on my 5th bottle
I absolutely LOVE this sunscreen! Its the only one i have found that doesnt burn or make me break out. I also love it for my kid who has sensitive skin.
Could be better
I was really hoping this would be the one however it did make me breakout around my chin. And as a brown girly it does leave a slight white cast. Overall, it does feel nice on the skin but it does get tricky to blend on. You really gotta put in some elbow grease when applying especially around your eyebrows because it will clump on your brows.
Nice product, so-so packaging
The pluses: Very nice, light non-greasy texture, fragrance free and suitable for daily use for normal to oily skin. Stuff I would change - the pump top on this product is hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And you can't open the top to scoop it out manually, so that is a bit inconvenient. The size is also small, for the price. I got it 20% off, so I don't feel too bad about it. But I would if I had paid full price. They should just make a less complicated dispenser (like just put it in a tube that you can squeeze out) and lower the price. Overall, it's a nice product. I'm keeping it, although I probably wouldn't buy it again.
Pills and white green cast
Disappointed after seeing it well reviewed by Wirecutter. The pilling is really bad and I can't apply makeup over it. Leaves white green cast to my skin. May continue to wear on days I don't leave the house just to get through the bottle.
best i've tried so far!
i really love the finish of this sunscreen. it is not greasy at all and leaves a very subtle glow. my skin is dry and acne prone and so far it hasnt given me any skin problems, but i've only been using for a few days. there is no white cast as long as you blend it in well (my skin is light-medium so i can't speak for darker skin tones). that being said, i dont think the green tint does anything to combat redness. the only reason this isnt 5 stars is because it burns my eyes and i really don't like the smell. it's not a typical sunscreen smell but it's not pleasant and i notice it up to an hour after applying. but overall this is the best sunscreen i have tried so far and will continue to use!
