I've spent a lot of money and time searching for a SPF that did it's job without creating another problem to deal with. I've always had very clear bright skin.. and unfortunately I took it for granted on top of not having anyone to educate me on preventative care. I now have something like melasma, with a brown splotch on both my cheeks, between eyebrows on forehead and a mustache splotch on my upper lip 👎 I'm on a mission to find something that will rid me of these brown spots and am now fully aware of SPF being most important before problems occur and a necessity in treatment of skin issues. All the money I spend to lighten these spots would be a complete waste without SPF. Also, unfortunately, I'm rolling into my 40's and that pristine complex I took for granted is now a faint memory and have had the most aggravated and scar producing break outs from every SPF I have tried. Had really lost hope for ever getting my old face back! Until I came across ZitSticka! Definitely a sigh of relief here. I can't say if any of the other benefits or ingredients actually do anything for my skin. But I CAN say that it does it's job of protecting without causing more damage for me to worry about.
I had high hopes for this, and was super excited to see that I got it in just 2 days after I ordered it. Wanted to like it, especially since I have minor acne issues. My husband struggles more with acne, and was hoping it would have worked for me so it would be easier to convince him to use it as well. But unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. Formula is between a cream and a serum. I was expecting it a little milkier than it was. Still was a good texture, though! Not digging it for that, but wanted to note it. No white cast. Great! Face was a little greasier than I expected it to be. I thought maybe I had put on too much. So when reapplied it hours later, I used less but it was still pretty greasy. But the biggest concern I had, was that it made my face tingle when I put it on, both applications. I actually returned it after putting it on the second time, today. I just washed my face for the night and it had a slight burning sensation as I use my gentle face wash. The closest thing I can compare it to is that it felt as though I overly exfoliated my face, even though I haven't exfoliated in quite some time. The only thing I changed today in my routine, was the sunscreen, yet my face felt pretty irritated with out it being red. I'm not sure if it maybe just doesn't play well with the rest of my skincare routine, if my skin is more sensitive than I thought or if it's the product itself, so I don't want to say that this is bad overall. I just don't think it's for me, is all.

I have tried so many different variations of skin care products and makeup and i will say this is the BEST under makeup. It has a minimal tacky feeling that helps makeup grip without separating. Adds a great amount of hydration without looking tooooo greasy. However, i will say this is probably not the best for oily skin/large pores because it does have a dewy look that does not go down and it accentuates pores on its own

i was so hopeful about trying this but it's bad. got this as a sample and it is SO GREASY. applies in the morning didn't dry down for hours and felt so heavy & awful. i broke out from it literally by nightfall (in a place i dont normally break out, and no other changes in my routine). and it stings like crazy if it gets anywhere near your eyes (like bridge of nose)

I put this on every morning with moisturizer and it dries down beautifully. It leaves your skin looking dewy, not oily. And it most certainly does not break me out even with my very acne prone skin.

I have struggled with acne most my life and now into my 30's... and i've NEVER found a sunscreen that doesn't wreak havoc on my face until now. My face is actually MORE CLEAR after using this!! It's seriously worth every penny.

This is super lightweight and dries kind of matte so you don't have that typical shiny sunscreen look. It dries down pretty well so if you touch your face you don't have that greasy residue and also it works well when I have acne and doesn't make it worse.
Pao from Dallas Tx
I love this SPF, so far it has been the only one that works great under my makeup and my oily skin, it kinda feels like a moisturizer on my skin, and my skin likes it

I like the watery consistency and how easily it goes on the skin. No issue wearing makeup on top. Dewy finish. Highly recommend.

I don't often find myself repurchasing products but this is definitely my goto sunscreen allyear round.
Emari from San Diego
This is so lightweight and effective. My new favorite. I have dark olive skin and there is ZERO whitecast. It sinks in easily.
Lacie from Maryland
This is the only sunscreen I've used that doesn't irritate a current breakout or create a new one

I can't speak on pacakaging because not the same. What I have is a tube like thing and a little of this stuff seems to go a long way. It does have a slight sunscreen smell that goes away. No white cast but is giving my face an oily sheen. I also have questions like can I put this around my eye area and does the serum also double as face lotion?? AKA no need for adding a serum or face lotion after this "serum"? I know it counts for primer. I guess I'm confused cause I am learning the face routines but it'd be nice if directions/explanation of this product is clearer.

This is really nice. It makes my makeup look nicer and seems to blur my pores. I like the way I can do my primer and spf all in one step. It is as nice as a more expensive primer sunscreen that i use. It also seems to not cause breakouts.

I used this product during my entire trip in Mexico. I have oily, acne prone skin. This serum was lightweight, no white cast and protected my skin through sweat, days at the beach and pool, and nights out with make up. I'm in love with it!

I've been on the hunt for a new sunscreen that doesn't leave me extremely oily or leaves my skin flaky. This is hydrating but not oily on my combination skin. I think it can act as a primer too, since it leaves your skin so smooth and dewy! I have sensitive skin and acne spots. I haven't noticed any new breakouts since using this. I recommend trying it out!

I have combo skin, oily t zone and dry as well. This sunscreen leaves no white cast, it does not make me breakout, it pairs wonderfully under makeup. Definitely my favorite

Still desperately trying to find a sunscreen that does not break me out. Alas, this one did indeed break my skin out. If you aren't sensitive to sunscreen specifically breaking you out, this product is great. Leaves a beautiful finish, works well under makeup, feels lovely on the skin…. It just breaks me out. So sad.

I've been trying to give this sunscreen a chance but chances are they aren't meant for my oily and sensitive skin. My chin/neck area broke out like CRAZY. Respectfully not gonna purchase again :/
sam from austin, texas
i know it's pricey but it's so worth it!! i have combo skin and some sunscreens make me way oily but and breaks up my makeup but this one doesn't. def wouldn't wear without makeup as it does make me shiny so for days i'm in a rush i'll use a different sunscreen or just powder. doesn't feel like i have anything on my skin and my makeup goes on so smooth. i wear the elf power grip primer for reference and that's already amazing but in combination with this i can go 12 hours wearing makeup and not have much separation at all. worth the investment!!

This product broke my skin out, and it also definitely leaves a white cast and I have Fitzpatrick type 2/3 skin. Would not recommend. I didn't change anything else about my routine so it was definitely this product. Also, the dropper gives you barely any product so I had to use like 3 droppers full just to get enough product.
Via from Minnesota
it's perfect! no white cast, thin but not too liquidity, in a dropper, and makes my skin look so dewy!!!
DA from Miami, Fl
I saw this on Teaira Walker's instagram so I decided to try and was not disappointed!!This sunscreen feels just like a serum and it doesn't leave your face too oily. I borre the smaller bottle and will def be purchasing the full size. For reference I have a deep complexion with golden undertones (think Jackie Aina for a visual reference) and this doesn't give a white cast on initial application. HOWEVER, the white cast does creep in a little bit if you sweat but you can also easily just blend it back in with your finger. I really love this sunscreen just as much as my BGS. If you're a very active outdoors, I would not recommend, stick to the black girl sunscreen because that one is more sweat proof in my opinion.

I recently experienced some breakouts for the first time in quite awhile. I found this sunscreen on a list of best sunscreens for acne prone skin and decided to give it a try. I am so impressed. This sunscreen is super light and packed with enough skincare ingredients that it doubles as an am serum. Unlike my experience with other sunscreens, this doesn't make my face super oily, even with the dewy finish. I also like the packaging. The dropper works well and is not messy. This sunscreen is a real winner for me.

Noticed a good change when I switched to this. I was using supergoop vitamin c spf serum but I wanted a higher spf so I decided to try this. This goes on great and I've noticed a positive improvement in my skin since switching, my skin has breakouts significantly less. I don't notice a white cast, it works well under makeup. has a slight sunscreen smell but it goes away within 20 minutes. this is lightweight. however my complaints are I'm not a fan of the dropper, I wish it was a pump that dispensed the proper amount of spf with every pump, and the product also arrived to me and had 1/5 leaked out but you can't get this in store and i didn't want to go through the hassle of returning and repurchasing. I will be buying this again though as the pros outweigh the cons and is still worth 5 stars to me.
