I had read through many of the user comments. Very highly rated. I like it. I live in San Diego and we are outdoors a lot. This lotion goes on like a regular moisturizer and has the SPF50 protection which is great for me. I'm ginger haired and fair skin. Absorbs quickly and covers well. Face, neck. It is a little shiny but can be wiped to dull down. I like that it isn't heavy and doesn't have that white look of typical sunscreen. This feels healthy in my skin. I'm glad I took a chance to try it. I don't usually spend $22 for a skin care item but I think it's worth it and will get again when I run out. That's my experience. Jc

This stuff is amazing. Goes and smooth and clear and doesn't leave hands feeling like sunscreen. I keep it in my purse for unexpected sun exposure.

Pros: At first, I was hesitant to purchase this because two of the active ingredients, avobenzone and octinoxate, destabilize each other. I didn't understand how there would be so many rave reviews if these ingredients made the products less effective after they removed the octocrylene from the old recipe. After a bit of research, I found that the diethylhexyl syringylidenemalonate (what a mouthful) ingredient acted to stabilize the avobenzone and then decided to give the 1 oz sample a try. I also saw some other girls with my skin type of oily, acne-prone, and dehydrated have success with this product which helped my decision. Despite the fact physical sunscreens have better protection, I'm not a fan sunscreens because of the white-cast and residue I have to scour off when I get in the shower, which is another reason I wanted to try this chemical sunscreen. I have been using this as a daily part of my skincare routine, but it was really put to the test when I was out in full sun for 5 hours at the pool. I reapplied often and let it sink in 20 minutes before the water as you should, and I had no problems. My shoulders got a little pink but I think that's because my friend didn't get my upper back very well lol. I was impressed with how it held up given my skepticism, and the gentle burn was gone within a day (there's not even so much as a tan line). I'm going to stick with this product because there are too many $50/1.5 oz sunscreens out there that, even though they are very nice, just aren't worth that kind of money no matter how effective. I'm a very pasty white and have to use a lot of sunscreen, so the fancy ones like that just aren't sustainable-this is definitely the best option I have found so far. I'm looking forward to purchasing that giant 18 oz pump bottle that should last me quite a while for (finally) a reasonable price.

(Sort of?) Cons: The fact that I got somewhat burned, and that I do hope they switch back to the old recipe with octocrylene to stabilize the avobenzone. I really haven't seen any real evidence that it's dangerous like some say and I think it would make for a more effective product that might require less reapplication. I know that spooky-chemical PR is something sunscreen/skincare product lines will always have to deal with.

(Rounded) 4.7/5

Gentle on the face with superior protection. So easy to apply! If you have a toddler this is basically like applying lotion after bath! Super simple and fast! Super light natural scent and so so so easy to apply even on a squirmy toddler! Throw it in your bag for all day protection! Solid buy!

Smell, coverage and no breakouts!
