Excellent sunscreen with the incomparable SkinMedica texture. I wasn’t sure if it would be drying – I’d say I’m more combination-dry than oily-combination but it’s fine as long as I use a moisturizer. Great product, goes on well under makeup.

It is similar to EltaMD UV Clear but it doesn’t peel.

This is a great everyday sunscreen. Goes great under makeup or makeup Free. I have repurchased it many times. I like it slightly better than elta md clear , which is the other one I use consistently. They are both really good, this one chemical and Elta md mineral of course. It goes ion very smooth but not silicone full if that makes sense. Doesn’t sting the eyes.

This is my 3rd one. I like it because it’s a pretty clean formula and it blends in well although I do have to rub it in a lot. I can wear it under makeup and it’s not too greasy.
