caused huge breakout and BURN
A couple of things I have learned: 1/ SPF 15 is just not enough for people with acne 2/ The whole myth of "sun helping dry out zits" - just a big ole myth 3/ stuff you buy in the drug store likely sucks. I think I used it because my mom used to use it? Can't remember but I tried it out RIGHT when my skin had gotten clear after using some Ninja products. I didn't want to suck it up and buy their SPF because it was more expensive. You get what you pay for. After one day of the Olay stuff, it was a long hike and about a million degrees, I came home to a cherry red face and by the next morning, my face was full of small pustules, which then turned into a major breakout that didn't clear up for another 3 weeks. I threw the Olay stuff away and just bought the Ninja sunscreen. Oh and did I mention my burn was so bad that my entire face peeled off? It did. Won't go the drugstore route again EVER.

Horrible
The product did make my skin soft, I can say that. But after a few days of using it, I notcied that a rash has formed all over my face, mostly on my cheeks and around my eyes. There is an ingredient in the moisturizer than clogs pores, leading to rashes, small cysts, and acne. The rash doesnt bother me at all; its bot that noticeable. But I still dont recommend this.

DONT recommend this!!!
I thought it was working for my flakey skin, but 2-3 days later after I bought it, i got pimples in places where they wouldn't usually grow in. Got some on my chin too. I've been avoiding unhealthy foods this week so I'm guessing it's the moisturizer. Before I used this moisturizer my face wasn't peeling but after the moisturizer it peeled and burned. I have uneven skin tone now which sucks, regret using this! I will just use the moisturizer that comes with the kit. Please don't use this!!

Not Sure Why Dan Recommends This Product
I bought this because of Dan's recommendation. The zinc oxide makes my face flake like crazy all day long. I am also very pale (Scandinavian skin) and the zinc makes me look even paler, literally like a ghost. I would recommend Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Spf 30 over this product.

Pros:

moisturizes to a certain extent

Cons:

It is way too light andreally hard to absorb into your skin ( have to massage extensively for it to absorb) and makes face appear white.
for me, iv had a couple of experiences where i put it on and i get these postules that i normally dont get, i dont know why.

Not for everyone, if you do try it introduce it for a day or two, observe anything new and if you get more acne than usual, discontinue immediately

Pros:

-Packaging

Cons:

-Broke me out!
-Smells funky (SPF)
-Made face look white- hard to rub in.

I absolutely hated this product. After using it for 3 consecutive days it caused HORRIBLE acne around my chin and jawline area. It caused deep, painful acne that had to have been caused by this product. I think my skin may be allergic by an sunscreen ingredient so i try to buy moisturizers without any SPF. Would not recommend to those with sensitive skin very prone to breakouts. Returned and got a full refund at CVS.

Pros:

SPF
Lasts a long time

Cons:

greasy
thick
heavy
skin feels congested

When I started my skincare routine at age 13, I've always used this moisturizer, and Purpose gentle cleansing wash. I have always had somewhat oily skin so when I started using this I thought it was just my oily skin producing the oil. Now that I have stopped using this moisturizer, and just moisturizers in general, my skin has stopped pumping out any excess oil. I just use an alcohol-free toner after cleansing to protect my skin's natural moisture levels and I'm done. My skin is fine now.

Pros:

none

Cons:

itchy, burning skin, expensive

I tried this and my skin started burning and feeling really sore, and red, mainly around the nose area, cheeks and chin. Two days later my skin started peeling. It took me two weeks to recover from this, and it also made my acne worse. I would suggest trying it first on a hidden area like behind your ear or somewhere in your neck.

Pros:

Unfortunately I haven't found any pros.

Cons:

My face is red and very itchy. It feels as though I have been sunburnt and the light acne that I have has flared up since using this product.

Before trying this product I regularly used Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion SPF 15 for combination skin. The formula for combination skin is a wonderful product and a pleasure to use. I thought this one for sensitive skin would be even better as it would provide more moisture for my skin as it gets older and would have a nice cooling effect. Totally the opposite! I wouldn't have considered myself to have sensitive skin and yet I've had a negative reaction to this so something is obviously not right. Too many chemicals perhaps? I've read that the formula has been changed which is very disappointing as the old formula sounded wonderful and more suited to those with sensitive skin.
