Fantastic!
7 years ago
I am not sure if this is intended as just sunscreen or what, but it is honestly the best moisturizer I've had in years. I *thought* I had sensitive oily/flaky skin and hadn't found anything that worked. The most recent product I tried for 6 months had no sunscreen in it, I thought maybe the sunscreen was the issue, but the moisturizer was a bust and I felt exposed in the AZ sun, so I tried this on a whim getting it at CVS. OMG!! My skin hasn't felt this soft, smooth and firm in years. I absolutely love it. I'm not a person to write reviews often, but I'm feeling so good I am inspired.

Do not like the new formula

The old version was great, used it for years but now homosalate was added and it has caused my skin to breakout. Time to find something new.

Too bad it has fragrance
2 years ago
I like the formula of this sunscreen, it goes on nice and light. However, it has a lot of fragrance, which can be irritating to skin and isn't necessary. I wish they made this in a fragrance-free version. As it is with the strong citrus scent, I won't buy it again.

a staple i've used for years!
3 years ago
i love this product, it's a staple that i've used for 10 years! it was my first sunscreen and moisturizer as a young teen and i'm still using it now my near mid 20s - i've added things to my skincare routine since, but i never want to part with this sunscreen because it's so comfortable to wear. i have sensitive combination skin (with more oily skin as a teen) and this has never given me a problem - it goes on really light absorbs nicely into your face and just feels really refreshing. i would also say it's decently moisturizing if you have normal to oily skin, but as i've gotten older i've gotten drier skin so i've added a moisturizer underneath this one.
i would really recommend this to someone wanting to begin using a moisturizer and sunscreen without the hassle of figuring out a whole skincare routine - it's comfortable to wear, has no white cast, and absorbs very quickly (as opposed to a lot of drugstore moisturizers that still kind of sit on top of your skin). also, while its ingredients list a fragrance, i have not noticed anything when applying - maybe a very very slight sunscreen smell if you pay attention, but it has never been a problem for me. i also think it's a really nice plus that this has vitamin c +e and LHA, it feels nice to have a mini skincare routine included in one bottle. i've recommended this product to other people (both with dry and sensitive skin) and they also really enjoyed it without problem.
i would say the only recent drawback of this product is that it seems hard to find in stores nowadays without it being really marked up. but either way it is the most pleasant daily sunscreen i've tried, i really enjoy this sunscreen and hope i can continue using it for many more years!

Favorite.. the only one for me
3 years ago
So, years ago I was given a bottle of this… but, it was white.. and I loved it, my skin was flawless… I paired with argan oil after using then this. It works for me as I have always had problematic skin... I then could only find the green bottle & it was just as great! My skin was starting to really glow, my small little acne I would get wasn’t coming and my pores were loosing good! I stopped using during my pregnancy because I couldn’t find any & after my pregnancy my skin started breaking out again… then I said let me get back to my old routine! I found a bottle and my skin is doing so much better again!! I now have a prescription for tretinoin and I skip the argan unless if my face is really seeking dry, and every morning I use this. Everyone says tretinion makes the skin so dry wel I’m not sure if it’s luck or this product but I haven’t had that issue.
I recently recommended this product to someone and they said oh I heard that stuff is bad for you, they are into luxury brands and think only super expensive things work… but, nothing has worked for her so I really told her to try it because I think that it could really work. ANY OTHER FACE LOTION I MEAN ANYYYY WILL BREAK ME OUT, BUT NOT THIS ONE! Amazing… anyways it does have a perfume smell but I don’t think it’s too much I actually feel refreshed from it.
Also I would add I started using this product in 2016 & it’s 2023 & im still recommending it, there was a bit that I had totally forgotten about it once having my baby but as soon as I had started noticing the issues with my skin I remembered my routine and how much it helped.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Terrible
5 years ago
Really wanted to love this... The scent in this cream is So strong. Literally feels like you're putting perfume directly on your face. The scent gets unto your nose and mouth and honestly made me feel sick a d I'm not sensitive to scents. Smells like terrible cheap perfume and it's supposed to be moisturizer...
Definitely did not feel moisturizing and actually made my skin feel dry and hot.
No, I do not recommend this product.
