   Great product. I have bought multiple times. I have sensitive skin and this does not irritate it. All day SPF and does not leave skin feeling tight. Love this one. A bit pricey but worth it as you dont need a lot.

   This is definitely a sunscreen and not a moisturizer. It feels like a heavy sunscreen, smells very strongly of it, and absorbs poorly. It is not something to wear as a daily moisturizer. Since I already bought it, I will use it when I go to the beach but not under other circumstances.

   To be fair, once you go into the SPF 30+ category, it is hard for a moisturizer to fully cover up that sunscreen feel and smell, but this is one of the worst.

   First off I loved that this product has a 30spf rating which is great but I find it too much for the winter time here in Canada as there isn’t that much sun. This product did make my pores look larger and made my face slightly greasy so much so that it made it difficult to apply any type of foundation afterward. However, that can be fixed by patting on a powder.
   Great price for the quality of the packaging and the amount provided.
   Will put it in the cupboard and bring it out when the days become much longer.
   In the meantime I’ve switched to Ombrelle’s 15spf for my face.

   Eww. Just eww. It’s thick and just sits there on my face and makes me smell like a used beach towel. It’s basically a glorified sunscreen, and if that’s all you’re looking there’s better stuff out there. It never really absorbed into my skin, made my makeup look horrible and it the sunscreen smell never fades. Ever. I was ultimately trying to find a good moisturizer that’s higher than SPF 15 and this is notttttt it.

   Update 3/2017:
   This stuff is still terrible. This time, it made my face look extremely greasy and shiny, to such an extent that I had to blot my face 2x over and it was STILL a little shiny afterward. It smells kind of gross, and it burns my eyes terribly whenever it migrates! Also, after a few uses, my face, neck, and chest all broke out horribly. I might have blamed it on something else, if it weren’t for the fact that I just started using a Neutrogena eye cream (also from the ‘Healthy’ line), and now my eye area is broken out, too. I have little blister-like bumps and milia all over any place the eye cream was applied or migrated to. Something Neutrogena uses just doesn’t agree with my skin at all. Total thumbs down.

   This was an okay product for me…it wasn’t anything special. I actually thought it just felt like regular sunscreen, but in a smaller, more expensive tube. It looked shiny on my face, and my pores looked huge (normally, they’re not very visible). When the product was fully absorbed, my face didn’t feel any more moisturized than if I had used plain sunscreen.
   Then…a small amount of sweat made the product run into my eyes. IT BURNED. The more that I tried to wipe it away (so more wouldn’t get into my eyes), the more that it stung. I mean, seriously….even the aerosol sunscreen sprays don’t sting that bad when they run!

   This is an excellent example of why you don’t have to spend department store prices to get quality skincare. This sunscreen doesn’t break me out, doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy or oily, protects me from the sun and it’s cheap! Excellent, love it, will repurchase forever.

   This really isn’t a moisturizer, just a sunscreen. It has a very distinct sunblock smell. It feels very greasy and it leaves my face looking shiny. Not moisturizing, but still too thick to put on my face. Did not do what it claimed to do, and it was terrible even as just a sunscreen. I will not buy this again.

   Since its basically summer finding a good moisturizer with SPF is essential. With my oily skin, its hard to find a daily lotion that doesn’t increase my oiliness. Often face lotions with SPF are extra greasy and make my oily face look extra shiny. I picked this lotion up hoping it wouldn’t do what I was dreading to my face. Unfortunately, for my oily skin this does not work for me. It simply makes my face looks like a greaseball. This just did not work for my skin type.

   I was looking for a moisturiser that had sun protection qualities with it and because I heard some decent reviews about this product, I decided to give it a go.

   Boy was I regretting it.

   Once applied to my face, it immediately felt greasy and did not have that supple, soft feel I usually have without moisturiser on. Two days later, I had this breakout on my upper lip, which was enormous. I have normal skin and so the product must have been extremely greasy to cause my skin to breakout as badly as it did.

   I did not notice any real change with regards to the moisturising aspect as my skin just felt greasy point blank.

   Have I said this product was greasy yet?

    This is the only sunscreen I’ve tried that hasn’t made me Breakout. It isn’t as greasy as normal sunscreen but it still has a sheen which looks dewy and healthy rather than oily. It doubles as my primer as well as being a moisturizer/sunscreen. Good product!
