submitted byLeon - 4 years ago
A: Sorry to disagree, but this does not provide a matte finish on me but exactly the opposite. It makes me look like I just applied oil to my face.

SunnyMama - 20 days ago, Verified purchaser
I just started using it and I already love it. It’s lightweight yet very hydrating. I have an oily skin and this moisture keeps my oil at bay. I would compare it to my all times favorite image sunscreen but this one is far at the better price. It’s a win win for me! You can see from the pictures that it absorbs instantly and doesn’t leave a white cast nor oily residue 👍

I have extremely oily skin and struggled finding a sunscreen that could control it and not leave a whitecast, this sunscreen is amazing its light weight, doesn't give off a white cast and actually helps control my oiliness! Plus it does not pill if you use a regular moisturizer with it all well

If I could give this product 10 stars I would. I love it so so so much. It does smell like sunblock and it’s very white as soon as you put it on. However, both the smell and the color will fade away. It doesn’t irritate my skin, it doesn’t make me oily. It’s great!

My skin is really sensitive and I have combination skin. My forehead, nose and cheeks get really oily. This has been the best moisturizer yet! It’s light, creamy and does not feel oily. I use a primer before my makeup and it sets all day. My 14 yr old daughter’s skin is even more sensitive than mine. Every other SPF makes her breakout. Not this one! We love it! And it lasts a long time as well! So worth the price!

This was recommended to me by Curology and I really like it! It’s light and also works well as a primer for makeup (at least for me). And it lasts a really long time for the size.

This moisturizer is great for people with very oily skin because it feels mattifying. It doesn’t try out the skin but almost puts a matte shield over it. Overall great product!

I used this in high school & I decided to purchase again. It leaves me oily after a few hours, but I’m pretty oily without it much quicker. I do put a light layer of powder over it after applying which helps. The only complaint I have is it burns the eyes so badly. I’ve opted to using a thin mineral sunscreen around my eyes & this everywhere else which has pretty much saved this product for me. Otherwise it would’ve been unusable.

This caused my eyes to tear up and become red. This caused pimples to be more inflamed and look worse. And it’s clumpy when you use it.
