Pros:

Feels really light.

Cons:

After first day of use I broke out with 2 pimple. After 2 days, my face started to feel really itches. I developed a nasty rash to places I apply it.

Luckily I try this almost 2 week before my vacation until i have to use it there and ruin everything. I have got bad rashes and it itches like crazy on my face, arms, and leg. I am not happy with this product at all. Other products that I used have never done this before. Rash took a while to go away and I hardly go out because of the rash and the sunny weather out! Overall not worth it.

Cons:

Made me break out into an awful rash all over my face and neck, still waiting for the marks to disappear. This product has ruined my holiday!! I do not recommend to anyone, don't bother, waste of money.

I don't see this as being affordable as I have just wasted my money on this product, has only been used a few times and I have nothing else to do but throw it out. I'm really not impressed at all. Rash still hasn't disappeared and it's made me not want to go out in public. They should seriously take this off the shelf.

Pros:

Light and non-greasy, and I didn't mind the fragrance.

Cons:

Made me break out badly - not just clogged pores, but big red pimples. It was also a bit tough to spread because of the non-greasy/ultra-dry consistency (though that can't really be helped.)

I wanted to like this product, but I don't. Back to the search for a sunscreen that won't make me break out. People seem to have success with this product. It's a shame I'm not one of them.

Pros:

Projects against the sun
Smooth finish
High quality

Cons:

May cause allergic reaction / rash

I used this the entire summer last year and I loved it until one of the last weeks of august. Underneath my eyes became red and swollen, had to use aloe [more complex vitamin E treatments made it worse] and stay out of the sun for it to go down. I think this was a result of applying the product to skin that was very sensitive (under-eye skin is thin and it may have already irritated from too much time in the sun by that point). I'll still use it, but carefully. Try it on a patch of skin before total use.

Pros:

Good, long lasting sun protection.
Doesn't sting eyes.
Doesn't make your face greasy--in fact this stuff actually mattifies.
I did not experience any kind of allergic reaction.

Cons:

It creates a white cast--and in sometimes it's really noticeable.
Hate the way it feels: it's not sheer at ALL, it's very mask-like.
Can be very drying.

Keep in mind that this is one of the better sunscreens and might be worth trying (just exercise caution). Everybody's skin reacts to products differently. It took me years to figure it out, but this stuff seems to give me those big cystic zits. I can use it for a couple of days before they start developing. I had always thought those kind of zits were hormonal, but trust me, I've used this stuff off and on (sometimes for long periods of time) over the past couple years, and those cysts always seem to crop up without fail when I use it. Now, I'm not claiming I never got another cystic zit once I stopped using it (in fact it always took about a month for my skin to get better), but their occurrence significantly lessons when I dont.

Pros:

light, non-greasy, dry touch, does not cause breakouts, cheap

Cons:

it leaves a white mask on your face

iv been using this product for a couple months now and have been getting different responses to my face. if you are going out in the sun and are prolly going to sweat alot, then this product works wonders. if you are just going outside with little or no sun then this will do nothing, make you look really white, and might cause more pimples. there have been times when i run around 4 and i come back take a shower and my face might look alittle worse or stay the same. BUT there were also times where i ran at 12 in 90 degree heat and after i took a shower my face cleared up sooo much. i have normal to oily skin so you have the same and you are very active then this might be good for you. AND its pretty cheap too.

I just want to add that if you are on acne medication, you could be more sensitive to chemical sunscreens, which might explain why so many reviewers on an acne.org site have reacted compared to other sites! The problem might not be with the sunscreen!
