Great protection - 11.13.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, scented

A little goes a long way and it works well. It doesn't smell bad like other sunblocks. 4 stars because it makes me look a little pale at first. it's not as fast absorbing as i thought it would be but still good.

The best Sunscreen for Sensitive skin! - 11.12.09
Quick Take: blends in easily, natural, soothing, non irritating

I have really sensitive skin, particularly when i put sunscreen on. This is the ONLY sunscreen that I have come across that doesnt make my skin feel like it's burning. It's rich, incredibly soothing and doesnt even feel like sunscreen. It's worth every penny! Ask for a sample next time you're in Sephora and see if you like it too!

Best sunscreen ever! - 11.10.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily

I have very, very sensitive, combo skin that breaks out easily. This non-oily sunscreen is amazing and best of all, it doesn't irritate my skin!

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily

I have not used this long enough to give this an excellent rating yet, but so far, it is the only sun screen that did not clog my pores and break me out. I have to admit that I do NOT use this every day, so that MAY be a factor. (I have extremely clog prone skin on my cheeks that is insanely sensitive to almost everything). I find it a bit drying however even when I use this over the Clarins hydraquench cream for normal skin and I do not have dry dry skin. It's a good product and worth the money! It blends in SO easily and leaves NO shine whatsoever.

The BEST sunscreen for oily skin - 11.09.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural

I love that this has SPF 55, but what I love the most is that it doesn't make my oily skin any oiler. I wore this in the summer out on the lake all afternoon and my skin did not burn. This also does not leave a whitecast.

It does what it says it does - 11.03.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural, hard to get off

After you put this on, it makes your face non-greasy and shine-free. It feels as though it blocks your pores from sweating.

The only downside of this is when you wash your face at the end of the day, it feels like there's wax or something on your face and it's really hard to get off. I washed my face a few more times to get it off. I guess I'm use to having nothing on my face.

Love it! - 10.31.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily

I'm an avid sunscreen wearer, but usually end up hating most of the face sunscreens. This one was excellent! Not too greasy, didn't clog my pores and didn't sting my eyes. Plus, it has lots of good stuff in it. Will definitely buy again.

Quick Take: non-greasy

I love this product from Shiseido. I have been using it for over 12 years now because it is one of the very few sun protection creams that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I use it every single day, rain or shine. I like that it is not too greasy and the texture is not too thick.

so far it's been great. I was very apprehensive about a face "sunscreen" but it is very light and feels good.

Quick Take: non-greasy

this is the best sunscreen i've ever tried! it's non-greasy, smells great and really does not run into your eyes. the only downside - it's near impossible to take off. i recommend that you use a precleanser (i use the one from dermalogica) or maybe a makeup remover.

Love this stuff - 10.20.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural

After Fraxel treatment, I was told to wear sunscreen all the time. I normally hate goo on my face, and initially, it took some getting used to having something on my face all day every day. I don't normally even wear foundation - just powder. BUT once I got used to it, I don't notice it. It doesn't have a white cast, it doesn't drip or run in my eyes if I sweat. It's also a nice base for my brush-on powder 'foundation'. I tried 5 or 6 'drug store' brand face sunscreens and this beats them ALL hands-down.

Great for acne prone skin - 10.19.09
I have been using this sunscreen for over a year and I love it! I have very acne prone skin and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. The sunscreen does feel a bit greasy when I initially put it on, but it goes away pretty quickly.

restocking - 10.14.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, long-lasting

I'm restocking my supply of the best sunblock ever. It smells wonderfully, and not over-powering. You can feel it on and being effective, but it's not greasy at all. This is the only sunblock I know that can make that claim.

My skin is sundamaged so I needed a good sunscreen to help with it. This one is light weight, non-greasy and it's great to apply under makeup. It's worth every penny, I'd definitely buy it again!

Good Product - 09.29.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural

Product works well and doesn't sting eyes however because of the extreme price I will not order it again and it's a very small container for that amount of money.
