A high-quality affordable SPF tinted moisturizer base or simple daily face SPF
This is now my every day go to. If I want a little tint, I mix in a little Lush Dark Yellow Color Supplement for my skin tone. It is silky and matte just like it promises. Like all strong sunscreens, it creates a UV layer over your skin so you will look a little ghosty if you don't really blend it into your skin well. I use my fingers for my cheeks and forehead but for the crevasses of my face where my pores could show a little more (like my upper lip and around my nose), I use one of my Sigmax Duo brushes to gently blend it in. You should probably use a bronzer for your hairline and chin because it does have that color change UV layer. It does go away over time but this way you can properly prep your face right out the door. I'm not a makeup artist or anything but just wanted to share how I use it so us ladies can continue to look radiant with this awesome sunscreen.I've recently been cutting back on makeup so I use this to replace my Bobbi Brown TM which I have used religiously for several years. I still love the Bobbi Brown TM texture but this is just more affordable and I can wear it alone without any tint sometimes if I'm going for the natural look. The Bobbi Brown TM is still amazing but I just don't need my SPF to have tint in it as much as I used to when I had acne when I was younger.Also, I don't work for any brands mentioned, just wanted to give my full opinion.

It's ok
It's ok. I got this to replace Biore Aqua Rich because I realized it was breaking me out. Initially I loved the biore because it was so light textured and I used it around my eyes without any hint of irritation and never burned my eyes at all. But after weeks of new break outs, I realized it was the biore. Stopped using it and they cleared right up. Now to PC Hydralight; I've had trouble with mineral sunscreens before, but this one had really good reviews and was supposed to be to most suitable to sensitive skin. Compared to the Biore, which is a chemical sunscreen, this one is much more like a typical sunscreen lotion; white, thicker, and slight sunscreen smell. However it left no white cast, so I'm happy with how it looks once applied. I did experience some eye irritation when I accidentally rubbed my eye too vigorously and got the product in my eye. I think it was the zinc or titanium actives, because it felt like a teeny tiny piece of sand or dust in my eye. It's too early to tell if it will break me out or not for sure, but I'm leary, because all of the other physical sunscreens I've tried before clogged my pores, even though I wash my face thoroughly every morning and night. UPDATE: it doesn't seem to be breaking me out at all, so I'm really pleased with that and changing to 4 stars. Didn't give 5, because the consistency and texture are a little thicker and heavier than I'd like, but it's still doing everything I need it to do!

If you have skin that gets very irritated and/or breaks out, try this!
Often when people say they have sensitive skin I know it's nothing compared to how sensitive mine is. With acne and rosacea prone skin, it is VERY easy to have anything me have a breakout, and I am always wary when a product says 'non-comedogenic' because I have gotten breakouts or rashes from products like that in the past. But because I am so pale, I knew I had to find a way to get UV protection so I gave this a try after reading the reviews. I am very pleased that I have gotten NO breakouts from this product and I am sooo glad I can finally protect my skin against the sun without worrying about breakouts. I've also found this easy to put this under makeup. I often don't post reviews but I want to let people know if you are at your wits end trying to find a sunscreen that doesn't break you out, definitely give this a shot!

I like this product
I like this product, it seems to do a good job on oily/combination skin. However if you've got slightly brown skin, it does seem to have a white tint, as if you are putting on a zinc sunscreen...but if you rub it in, it kinda goes away but you have to spend time rubbing it in which in can make your skin produce more oil.Would be better for people with fair skin and have oily skin, I was a little disappointed about the white tint as someone from Paulas Choice had recommended this one as "tint free".But otherwise it's a great moisturizer.

Excellent for Oily Acne Prone Skin & Seborrheic Dermatitis!!
Got this for my husband who for the longest time had no idea that his skin problems were caused by the ingredients commonly found in most skin care and body products. We have both eliminated certain specific ingredients from the products that we use now and this product met those specs. We have seen a big noticeable change in his skin since using this product and we're very happy with it. Since switching to this product his Seborrheic Dermatitis is under control and much more managable! If you have oily skin/greasy skin that seems to be acne prone, presents with redness, large pores and or flaking of the skin which is irritated it is NOT DRY SKIN! It's Seborrheic Dermatitis and not just any kind of moisturizer will do! You MUST use OIL FREE products or the skin condition will only get worse. This product has help ALOT!
