Paula's ChoiceSKIN BALANCING Ultra-Sheer Daily Defense SPF 30 Oil-Free Moisturizer, 2 Ounce Tube

It's rare that I write reviews, but felt this product definitely warranted one. I will be concise. I have combination skin. I've been looking for something that's not heavy or pasty, but light, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing. This product checks al the boxes; I was caught off-guard by how light it is. And my face felt appropriately moisturized. This will be my go-to from now on. Paula's Choice, DO NOT change the formula!

This product is exactly what I was looking for and I really love it. It’s light weight but still provides the spf without being greasy. I initially rated 4 stars because I felt like the tube was really small and it wasn’t going to last and I couldn’t justify the price if I’d be buying more every month. But after using the product awhile longer I realized a little really does go a long way. So I’ve updated my review.

I just ran out of this $30 little tube... I was expecting for it to last longer given the reviews and the money I paid. The lightweight statement is absolutely correct - it doesnt make your skin oily and its super easy to put on without needing to wash your hands after. I only put it on once a day and it doesnt feel sticky at all, which is huge for me because I usually find that toward the end of the day my face ends up shinny and oily with other moisturizers. I also believe the spf it's TRUE to it. I am outdoors a lot and while the rest of my body tans and burns at times ( I have olive skin ) eventhough I apply a higher Spf several times, my face remains protected from morning till the end of the day. I love the light scent too, not too powerful and overbearing which I'm also picky about. Excellent for sensitive skin also!Problem is that I had to use a lot of it, because it absorbs super fast and even after the first application, my face still feels dry - hence why I ran out faster. Also, it peels if you rub it on ( even with one application ) which leaves your face as if you've used a really cheap wipe to clean your face. Not happy about that, It's annoying. I'll probably recommend it because the pros overweight the cons, but the pricing is a problem still if I have to use twice as much.

I have extremely frustrating very oily, tight, sensitive, acne prone and aging skin and this is the best lotion I have found for it. Although it has a sunscreen in it, I still wear it at night, because not even the other lotions in this line work nearly as well. Absorbs very well and cuts down on grease. Works best with dry skin; doesn't absorb well on damp skin, and I usually but on 2 layers a few minutes apart and whenever I feel dry. Doesn't build up too much on skin. I've been using it for around 2 years in conjunction with the skin balancing cleanser. Use on neck and back of hands for sun protection as well.

I have been using this for the past two weeks. So far, I like it, but not like loving it.I bought this with the intention of layering it under my physical sunscreen; I figured it's the summer and double protection can never hurt. BTW, I have normal skin with occasional break out from the warm weather, menstruation, and stress...Pros:very light, dry touch, no white cast (like those from physical sunscreen), fast absorbed, no fragrance...Cons:sting my eyes, NO MOISTURIZTION (you def NEED to apply face moisturizer despite the fact it claims to be a moisturizer), cause those white things when you are still trying to spread it even and generously on my face...I suggest only use it in the summer, wait for it to be absorbed for a good 5 mins or so before you put make up on. Do not let it get near to your eye area, OUCH!UPDATED:went to the pool ystday with my boyfriend who has extremely sensitive skin and rosacea. I put this on his face before we headed out. He had allergy reaction within 10 mins that he had to wash it off immediately.... so steer cleared if you have rosacea too.

This stuff is AMAZING. I try a lot of face products due to having sensitive skin and acne when younger. This is my most favorite face lotion with sunscreen in it. It is very light, non-oily, and absorbs very fast. You only need a very small amount and it goes a long way. Also, it will not make your face white. I use this if I am going to be in the sun or if I think I may be in the sun. It wears very light. I would recommend this over any over the counter sunscreens.

I had high hopes for this product after reading so many positive reviews online. I have combo skin and I was desperate to keep my t-zone from looking shiny and oily by mid-day. For me, some moisturizers seem to go through cycles when they work and stop working, you know what I mean? Even after the first day of using this sheer moisturizer, I noticed a significant difference! I also switched to a new oil-free foundation (Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation!), so with this moisturizer combined, by mid-day my skin looked nearly as fresh as it did in the morning. The lotion absorbs easily and feels very lightweight on my skin. I love the added SPF as well.

I've had problems finding a moisturizer that didn't clog my pores leading to acne breakouts on my chin/neck/forehead AND make my skin greasy while wearing it with makeup.I've been using this moisturizer for four years every day. It's the best one. My skin doesn't have issues with this moisturizer.I know everyone's skin is different, so I can't say that this will work for you. But the Paula's Choice website offers samples at a very affordable price. Try this one for five days and give it a shot.
