flakes off of your skin!
-05.12.13
Quick Take: not a good purchase
I do not like this product. I purchased it because I wanted a sunscreen that would be gentle enough for my face, and wouldn't clog my pores. I also didn't want the shine that often comes with sunscreen. The product goes on nicely, but does not layer well under makeup, and after just 15 minutes, it begins to flake, and "roll" off of my skin, making me look and feel dirty. I do not like this product and I would absolutely not recommend it to anyone.

Thick, but quick to absorb
-05.09.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
When you first put this sunscreen on it appears really thick and white. Within seconds it absorbs into the skin and leaves no trace. It does not give that signature shine that one gets from most other sunscreens, and it doesn't seem to cause breakouts. Best oil-free sunscreen I have used on my face, especially for the price.

Good (not great) "dry" sunscreen.
-05.03.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
The product applies very easily and it definitely keeps the skin more matte than most other sunscreens. I just wish it was even more mattifying on my oily skin. If you also have oily skin, you'll need to use a mattifying primer to keep your make up in place. But overall a very good sunscreen :)

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
Great product. Won't make my skin greasy (I have acne prone skin), unlke other sunscreens I've tried. Dries quickly and it's even hard to tell I have sunscreen on my face. I apply it before putting on makeup daily. Very nice texture, will definetly re-purchase when I run out. I would recommend to people with problem skin.

The ONLY sunscreen I can wear on my face that does not break me out, make me greasy or leave a ghostly cast. It is also a great primer! It is a bit thick so I use a pea sized amount, rub between my fingers, and then tap into my face amd blend lightly with my fingertips. I LOVE this sunscreen-nothing compares and I will never stray!

Sunscreen for oily skin
-03.12.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, natural
I have avoided using a daily sunscreen because I have a pretty oily T-zone. Every sunscreen I've tried before this one has made me shine in a way that I do not think is attractive. This sunscreen feels light on my face and leaves it shine-free. Heaven help me if they ever decide to discontinue this product.

Light and absorbent

Love this sunscreen. It is light and penetrates the skin very quickly. Leaves my skin feeling nice and soft. There is NO greasy feeling like with other sunscreens I have tried. Will be purchasing again once I run out.

goes on great
-02.20.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
soaks into skin great; not white; could be considered greasy to those with oily skin. but i'm not sure it contains effective enough ingredients so i'm going to give it up for a sun screen that contains zinc oxide in it, instead.

Good sunscreen but.......
-02.14.13
This is exactly as discribed and i wouldnt call it a bad product by no means.....but...make sure u use a good moisture. This is certianly not for dry or sensative skin types. I even put moisture on underneath and it sucks that up it is so uber-dry!! Haha. My husband likes it and i will use it with no problem cause it is not "girly" smelling. So not wasted but my skin is too sensitive. I like PTR max moisture with spf much better.

Need More in the Bottle!
-02.12.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
I love this sunscreen, I tend to burn pretty quickly but this keeps my skin safe. My only issue with it is I wish one bottle lasted me the whole summer and most of the time it's lacking.

In love with this sunscreen.
-01.02.13
I am acne prone. I hate ss that leaves white marks, makes me greasy, has that distinctive ss smell and causes problem applying foundation after.
The ss has generous amount so it will go long. This ss did not trigger my acne prone skin, no ghost face, dries out matte, has no scent and gives me no trouble applying ss. My previous favorite ss was shiseido blue ss and this one is pretty similar if not tops that one.

The Best
-11.28.12
I've been using this sunscreen for years. It is the best for those with any skin time. It doesn't dry or moisturize, it simply protects. No gross smell and a nice even texture.

Rescued my fair/oily skin!
-11.13.12
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
I am extremely fair and really need to wear sunscreen but I usually hate it because my skin is so oily. This dries to a matte finish and foundation blends over it beautifully. I don't really like to use mineral powder foundations with it, though, because it just doesn't go over smoothly.

OK sunscreen, but sometimes rubs off. I don't think it provided as much sun protection as others.

Works and is true to its name
-09.30.12
Quick Take: great
It is uber dry, non sticky, yet moisturizing and you don't look like a shiny mess after application even at high humidity levels (like in Trinidad). I also use it on my face.. after a moisturizer. It works. It is the best option for a non smelly, non sticky version of a sunscreen, I have not seen or used any better!

Weird Elmer's glue consistency
-09.14.12
I have been wearing the PTR Ultra-lite suncreen as a high-SPF moisturizer for 12 years, but I hate the way it runs into my eyes on hot sunny days. I thought that the Uber-Dry Sunscreen would be ideal, but it has a weird consistency that peels off in little balls (like a dried layer of Elmer's glue) if I touch my face during the day, so I'm sticking with the Ultra-lite for now.

Uber says it all!
-09.01.12
My boyfriend plays golf a lot but hates putting on sun block. I had him try this and he was pleasantly surprised, or should I say "uber-surprised". I'm glad I found this product and happier there is now a Sephora store in Paramus Park Mall, NJ. A convenient location with lots of great folks working at this branch.
