Review 2 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
-09.23.12
It is an ok product, but PTR has better products. If you are looking for an spf then try Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion - SPF 30.
I actually bought it by mistake, I mixed it up with Oil-Free Moisturizer (the best moisturizer for acne prone skin)- they look the same!! But I did not like as much.

Review 3 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
I really like it
-09.03.12
I really like this daytime moisturizer. Not only does it have sunscreen in it, but it is light yet fully moisturizing. It keeps me from being dry but doesn't feel greasy. I keep buying it over and over so I know I like it.

Review 4 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Best. Day lotion. Ever.
-08.20.12
Love this. It's pricier than I'd like but I keep coming back to it. I have combination skin and in the summer. looking at my skin cross-eyed can make it break out. This is the only moisturizer I can use in the summer that is safe- no break outs and no sun spots. you will not regret it. note- it is not super moisturizing so if you are looking for something more, this product is probably not right for you.

Review 5 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Staple
-08.02.12
Quick Take: moisturizing
This product has been in my bag for many years. I've tried others, but none have compared to how this feels on my skin and then putting make up on top. The SPF is the reason I use this specific formula, so I don't need to use multiple products. If you're curious, just try it, you have nothing to lose!

Review 6 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Great summer protection for normal to oily skin
-07.10.12
I use this under Shiseido's Urban Environment UV Protection Cream for Face/Body (35 SPF) and it works great. Don't feel greasy and I get double the SPF protection for the summer.

Review 7 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Not a Fan
-06.29.12
Quick Take: greasy, smells strongly
I have very fair skin and have tried a lot of sunscreen in my day, so I feel fairly confident in my sunscreen rating abilities. This sunscreen fell short for me. I put it on 30 minutes prior to an early-morning walk to give it time to absorb, but I still had the worst time with it become a sticky, slimmy mess by the middle of my walk. It wasn't even that hot out (78 degrees, maybe). Also, it smelled very strongly (like most sunscreens) which I really didn't like. I certainly won't be using this again.

Review 11 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Wish this felt a little lighter
-01.30.12
Quick Take: protects well
I must have been in the store for a few hours, trying each moisturizer with spf. I cant seem to find a light one while still protecting my face. This one is nice, and works, but still feels heavy on my skin.

Review 12 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
My go to facial moisturizer.
-01.09.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, creamy, non-oily
I have been using this cream for a few years now. It's lightweight and absorbs into my skin quickly. It wears easily under my make up and doesn't leave a oily feeling on my skin. It doesn't clog my pores and has a nice texture.

-01.08.12
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly, does what it says it will
Yummy, scrumptious, thick and yet absorbs quickly leaving not a bit of residue; impressed with how my hungry face just drunk every last drop. Quality of this cream much higher than other higher priced items I've tried

Review 15 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
great spf moisturizer for sensitive skin
-11.13.11
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, no breakouts, high spf
I have been using this in the winter months for a couple of years. I use the "sheer" in summer but find this is better in the Northeast climate in winter. It works great for my mature, sensitive, break out prone skin. It has spf 30 which is a major plus!!

Review 19 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Soft and Easily Used With Other Face Products
-08.16.11
Quick Take: intensive, absorbs quickly
This SPF cream is the first and last I will ever try. After relentless reading and researching I settled on the Max Daily Defense. A small amount goes a very long way, and once applied it is absorbed quickly and is unnoticeable after a short wait when applying makeup. I use this over my facial tonic and eye cream alone on my less "dry skin " days, or in addition to a face cream. Either way, it definitely has a moisturizing effect that is noticeable on my relentlessly combination skin...which I love! I will definitely be purchasing this a third time.

Review 20 for Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30
Wait and see
-08.15.11
Quick Take: lightweight
There are other products I have liked better but to be fair I will wait and see. I like a day cream to have SPF and this does and works well in that arena. Doesn't feel greasy but at the same time my skin does not feel as hydrated as it should. probably better for someone with younger skin.
