Another great product I recently got at Sephore. Love this Sunblock. Not greasy for my combination skin, but I wouldn't say it is non-greasy. Didn't clog my pores. A little bit goes a long way. Gives a nice dewy finish. Overall a great sunblock.

The light cream absorbs right into skin and goes on well under my makeup. My makeup stays in place, which was my biggest concern when buying this product.

Fabulous for those allergic to sunscreens - 02.02.10
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, good for sensitive skin

Last winter I took a trip to the Dominican Republic and brought this sunscreen. I selected it bc I read that Parsol 1789 is helpful in preventing sun poisoning, and after spending half of my vacation the previous year indoors from a horribly itchy and painful rash [not from sunburn, but from an allergic reaction], I decided to take action to ensure this didn't ruin my vacation again. I have to say that this really worked. I had no reaction to this sunscreen.
I love lounging around the beach and am obsessive about applying sunscreen [apply every 2 hours], so I had to bring a bunch of bottles with me, and while I am not used to spending this much on sunscreen, it was well worth it. For peace of mind I will be purchasing 4-5 more for my trip to Jamaica this year.

The best sunblock for your face!! I wear it everyday under makeup or alone. Not greasy or heavy. I only wish it was higher than 30spf.

Good facial sunscreen - 12.29.09
Quick Take: blends in easily, somewhat hydrating

This is the only sunscreen that I've been able to use on my face and stick with! My skin is dry and somewhat reactive and past sunscreens have left me with stinging and/or bumps. I've been using this for at least 5 years and I like that it goes on easily over my facial serum. Although it's oil-free, I find it would be too oily in appearance for oily skin types, yet I like the "dewy" look I get from this sunscreen.

Light and Non Greasy - 12.07.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural

I've only been using this for a week now and I'm happy with it so far. The 30spf lotions I tried in the past were greasy and harder to blend. This lotion blends right in and keeps my skin hydrated.

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily

This is one of the best sunscreen I've used thus far. It's light and non-greasy. I can wear it all seasons and under my makeup w/o having to worry about my face getting oily.

The only downside is that its not waterproof/sweatproof. Therefore, I wouldn't suggest wearing this when exercising because it can run into your eyes.

the best face sunblock! - 11.09.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily

I love this sunblock ive been using it for years it absorbs well and makes my skin feel mosturized but not too greasy. its great for the summer sun protection and i use it in the winter when my skin gets dry this is the only thing that actually keeps it mosturized all day in the winter. I only wish they would make a paraban free one that worked the exact same way. I've tried the uber dry version and its too dry for my skin it doesnt mosturize enough if you have oily skin though that could be better for you.

Critique of Peter Thomas Roth sunblock - 10.12.09
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, hypallergenic

I am very pleased with Peter Thomas Roth Sunblock. It's light and non-greasy. I have sensitive skin and this sunblock appears to be hypoallergenic so far. I haven't broken out with any facial rash, so, I'm very pleased with it.

I know driving all day I need a sunscren, but they always break me out. I am on day 5, goes on light and makeup looks good on it. So far no new breakouts, so t seems the oil free light formula may me the one...

Quick Take: blends in easily, natural

My skin is fairly oily and I breakout easily, so it's been difficult to find the right sunscreen. This is fairly light and I use it under my makeup. It seems to provide good sun protection and hasn't irritated my skin. It still adds shine to my face, but much less than other products that I've used. This is the best of the many suncreens that I've tried.

Not for my face - 09.29.09
I was looking for a light sunblock that wouldn't break my skin out and this definitely wasn't it. I used it for about 2 weeks every day and ended up getting bumps all over my face. I'm gonna try a non-comedogenic sunblock next time. This one is probably ok for your body but not for the face in my opinion.

This is indeed ultra light and absorbs quickly. It provides excellent protection from the sun, and has a lot of antioxidants. It works on face, neck, or body.

I bought this product because I have oily skin and needed a light , effective sunblock. But this sunblock feels oily and greasy, and leaves my skin even more shiny. It's an effective sunblock, but I am disappointed by the feel of it.

This is an awesome sunblock. The lighweight consistency blends into the skin very well, and it absorbs quickly. It does not make my skin feel greasy or pasty. It does not interfere with my moisturizer or my makeup. It's perfect.
