" ... Feels lightweight and smooth. ... "
" ... I have very fair skin. ... When I forgot to wear it at the beach, it helped to even out and soothe my sunburn. ... It feels light on the skin, but still manages to provide lots of moisture. ... "
" ... And doesn't leave any greasy feel on my face or hands. ... "
" ... but this is great for oily skin! ... "
" ... There's also price - i've tried Shiseido's and i honestly just didn't really enjoy/like them that much, felt they made me greasy faster, have a white cast, and cost so much more. ... "
" ... It worked great with my overly sensitive skin. ... But if you're looking for a long-lasting sunscreen for sensitive skin this is definitely a go to item. ... "
" ... Hands down to the BEST facial sunscreen I’ve finally discovered! ... "
" ... have used around eyes without irritation ... "

" ... I was nervous about the tint at first because my skin is quite pale, but it blends out beautifully and makes my skin look fantastic! ... "
" ... As it is tinted you will not look awfully white as it happens with other titanium sunscreens. ... "
" ... I'm roughly the complexion of Beyonce (no other common features) and have a hard time finding mineral sunscreen that doesn't make me look ill. ... "
" ... Love the natural glow-y look it gave me. ... "
" ... But this one goes on beautifully, stays on, and doesn’t get shiny. ... "
" ... You can slap it on without having to blend it in forever or put makeup on top to keep from looking like a ghost. ... "
" ... I liked it coz it is like a sunscreen foundation texture. ... "
" ... Great, light texture with subtle tinting. ... "

" ... It works beautifully with makeup too, and just dries down to look like you aren’t wearing anything without having to really blend it. ... "
" ... It is very drying, I need kids of moisterizer first. ... "
" ... In the winter months when my skin is dry I add a drop of hylaronic acid and it smooths nicely. ... "
" ... Lightweight, love the light tint, dries matte! ... "
" ... ***Edit: under strong AC and a dry environment I could feel some skin tightness, so I highly recommend some intensely humectant moisturizers for dry spots -- Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream. ... "
" ... It might be good to first prep with a face oil to counteract some of the drying effects. ... "
" ... Protects, light tint is good, sets to matte finish that lasts on my oily skin all day, not drying or oily, does not irritate my sensitive skin or cause clogged pores or breakouts. ... "
" ... I love to use this in the summer since I have dry skin. ... "

" ... I use this over my Japanese sunscreen for extra protection in outdoor activities. ... "
" ... Excellent sun protector, challenged during beach holidays. ... "
" ... When used with powder it makes my face almost waterproof for a while! ... "
" ... It held up to a day of snorkeling in Hawaii in 90 degree heat. ... "
" ... It is water proof, so it takes a bit more product to remove it, but it works great in the summer when you want to go swimming. ... "
" ... This is probably what helps the zinc and titanium (the active ingredients) in this form a protective layer, but it renders the sunscreen not water soluble. ... "
" ... And keeps my face and décolletage from burning at the beach. ... "
