This just a sits on top of skin. It's supposed to be a primer, but it makes all of my makeup slide around on top. I'm seriously considering bringing this back to ulta. The only good thing is there's n...Read more

I pick sunscreens based on EWG ratings. Most of the approved sunscreens have terrible textures or leave a white cast. Not this product. You shake it up and squeeze the product through the packaging's ...Read more

This sunscreen feels so greasy and gross on my skin. It's a mask of oil.

I really like this. Without all the chemicals associated with spf I was leary of it. It makes my makeup go on nicely and keeps it longer. No white cast with this either. A little goes a long way which...Read more
