Customer Reviews

"This is THE BEST sunscreen I have ever used!!! It has a cream texture which is easy to apply and not greasy at all. It leaves no white cast but instead brightens up my skin perfectly – even works better than my Bobbi Brown foundation. It absolutely exceeds my expectations. I hated wearing sunscreens but I'm loving it now. I will never use other sunscreens on my face." – ★★★★★ Milly, Verified Buyer

"Holy grail sunscreen. My criteria for facial sunscreen is that: It has to be cosmetically elegant, not drying, not shiny, not whitening, not sticky or tacky, no chemical filters (my skin reacts to these), I don't want to be able to feel it on my face throughout the day because it is heavy or drying, and it has to layer nicely over other skincare and I don't want to have to put makeup or powder on top of it (but it has to play nice if I want to). I prefer non-tinted so I can use it on my neck and not worry about my clothes staining. I am telling I'm picky and all these things are in one is extremely hard to find. But somehow Skinmedica has done it with this." – ★★★★★ Paulina, Verified Buyer

"No streak, no white cast. I’m a guy, and I am always looking for sunblocks that’s won’t make me look like I’m wearing makeup or leave me looking like a geisha. This stuff works." – ★★★★★ Andy, Verified Buyer
