Pros:

Matte appearance when applied, absorbs quickly, decreases chance of sun damage, small bottle (3 oz.) but lasts long, not an embarrassing acne medication, smells like sunscreen but scent doesn't linger

Cons:

None

After years of trying everything short of prescriptions and having no long-term luck, I finally quit all medicated products and started limiting my regimen to cleansing and moisturizing twice a day with Cetaphil products. This didn't work out as well as I would have hoped, because the Cetaphil moisturizer made my skin greasy, and I'm convinced that it caused acne. After spending some time in sunny weather recently and switching to this product for that trip, I haven't looked back. At morning I cleans and moisturize with this, and at night I cleanse and moisturize with aloe vera gel. It's been a few weeks, and nothing new is popping up, and the last of the red marks are fading. I now have to confidence to do whatever I want, and not be dependent on some acne cream that will aggravate my skin. In fairness, I'm 22 and I don't experience teenage acne. If you're young, you should probably stick with BP for now.

REally is "dry" so my face doesn't look greasy! Offers regular sun protection too. Love the application.

Cons:

Smell is irritating, bu tusually I use it anyway because I'm vain and it is the only sunscreen that I can find with SPf30 that doesn't make me greasy!

Go with it, unless you're sensitive to smells.

Pros:

haven't gotten burned yet walking to work each day with this on

Cons:

doesn't layer very well with jojoba + BP + Complex 15 for me, balls up very easily and hard to use with makeup, tends to make my face look very shiny

I think this sunblock could be great for some people as many seem to like it, but for how I use it, it's just not cutting it for me. When I apply it, it goes on pretty nicely, but it stings if it gets anywhere near my eye skin. It doesn't really dry as matte as I hope, so my face looks redder than usual and very greasy for a while. The most annoying thing about this product is its tendency to clump up, though. Granted, I put it on top of a bunch of layers of stuffs so I probably shouldn't expect too much, but there's absolutely no way I can wear any makeup besides concealer with this, even a light dusting of powder seems to clump up on it. I find myself wiping clumped up gunk off my face for the first couple of hours after I've put it on, it just doesn't seem to want to sit smoothly on my skin. I've tried varying the amount, but at least with Complex 15, this sunscreen just won't behave for me.

Pros:

The consistency is nice.

Cons:

The smell. I really don't like it. It made me want to sneeze.

I don't really recommend it if you have sinus issues. The smell is a bit too much and you can't get away from it, cause it's on your face. haha...

Pros:

Excellent, and a healthy choice!

This product is great, I feel I am getting the protection I need and more. I never get burned or dark from exposure to sunlight. I am on antibiotic as well, so with that in mind I am sensitive because of that, and neutrogena spf 50+ is also great as well!!

Pros:

excellent product. switched from Banana Boat Sunwear Faces SPF 30 and never looked back. it does an AMAZING job of mattifying your skin and keeping it that way. excellent as a primer too. people with oily or combo skin will most definitely love it.

Cons:

perhaps not super moisturizing, but otherwise none

great product, with nice packaging, appealing scent and a lovely consistency. definitely a winner out of all the suncreen/moisturizers I've tried!
