 Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30

I used this as a daily moisturizer after cleansing and using a toner. It absorbed into my skin well, and I loved the dewy way it made my skin look. I used the same small bottle for several months, so a little goes a long way! Unfortunately, it made my skin feel very congested, and my acne flared up. My pores were full of gunk, my face was really oily, and I started getting cystic acne on my face and neck. I quit using it three days ago and my skin has already calmed down immensely, and the cysts are going away. If you have skin that isn't acne-prone or is more dry, this could be great for you. If your skin is acne-prone, be careful!

Ive been using this with the cucumber lotion, and acne cleanser and I have no complaints other than that it does indeed sting my eyes if I get it on my lids or too close to my water line. Other than that a little goes a long way. I have dry/comb skin

This is like using a chemical body sunscreen on your face and have it continuously sweat into your eyes and sting. This is the first face sunscreen that has stung my eyes. Going to use the rest of it as a body moisturizer as I can't even give it away.

I have normal to oily skin and have been using this for years. At first I liked it so I decided to tolerate how it stings my eyes and tends to sit on my face. I just assumed I had to deal with it because it had good SPF, and it stings they eyes just like sunblock does. But let me tell you, it's really annoying when you have people asking if you're crying at work and then you have to explain that it's the moisturizer you use. Because any sane person would discontinue use, and here I am using it for like 10 years… I just haven't found moisturizers I like better, so I'm stuck for now since trying new moisturizers just got too expensive. They should shave off at least $10 from the price point because the cons take away from the product, A LOT.

I wear this every day as my base lotion and sun protection. I've used it for over a year and WOW! First of all, I'm still using the same bottle — a little goes a long way! Perhaps the most impressive thing is that I have never gotten sunburnt with it; this is coming from a person who has had to use 100+ sunscreen ALWAYS (no, 30 or even 50 SPF does not work like 100 SPF does!) and burns within 10 minutes of being in the sun without protection. I'm so fair-skinned that I can hardly use any brand's concealer or foundation because even the lightest shades are orange on me (I've loved using the lightest shade liquid concealer from Jovia's Place — another great product to try if you're very fair-skinned). All this to say, I'm blown away by this product. My skin is average to dry. It's not incredibly oily whatsoever, but you may find it helpful to use a matte foundation or tint over it if you're concerned. No white streaks. I'm always so tempted to try the newest and prettiest products, but this is a keeper!
