Reviews For SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30
Hate it
I recieved a travel size of this and used it on vacation. I loved it so much at the time that I splurged and bought the full size. Unfortunately, I've noticed it pills with just about any other skin care products you have on. Even the same line of skin care products, i.e. their CE Ferulic. It doesn't matter how long I take for other products to dry before applying it, it's just a very pilly product that apparently is extremely sensitive when it comes to whatever else you are using with it. It just doesn't seem with the money to me when there are other really good and more affordable sunscreens out there.

I hate the smell
This sunscreen smells like stale rotting pine needles to me, and I could not get it to go away and hated smelling it on my face all day. I have had the same experience with all SkinCeuticals sunscreens that I’ve tried. It also felt tacky to me on my skin. It may be a good SPF and well-suited for other skin types, but the scent was way too distracting to me for it to be usable.

Strong, bad smell
I am a huge fan of Skinceuticals products, but I am not able to use this because of the strong smell. I literally tried it once and then threw it away. I don’t know what is causing the smell and was quite surprised and disappointed.

Can't use this sunscreen--stings my eyes
I make SURE I don't apply this sunscreen around my eyes, but it still stings whenever I put it on my face (avoiding around the eye area). For this reason, I cannot use this sunscreen. Waste of money.

Disappointing
I was looking forward to trying this out. It was the worst. It did not absorb. It balled up and pilled even without makeup on top of it. If you even touched your face it would pill up. I can't believe such a high-end company would release this product. Did they not test it on anyone first?

Disappointed
I was excited to try this new product. However, my chin broke out in a painful cyst after a week of use. This is unusual for me. Also, my face looks greasy after applying this over my skin care products and before foundation. High hopes dashed...

Not for me
I was excited to try this given all the hype. I was extremely disappointed. First, it makes your face shiny and not in a flattering way. It almost looks like your face has been sweating all day and looks very oily. Second, this product burns the eyes to the point where I had to wash it off and remove my contact lenses. My eyes were sore for 2 days afterwards. I did not apply it near the eye area, but I think it melts as the day goes on and gets in your eyes, as my eyes only started burning several hours after application. I will use the remaining product on my body and not purchase again.

I was excited to try this product. Problem is it burns your eyes and it pills up. Doesn’t matter if your skin is clean and dry. Certainly can’t use your face oils under it. Flakes does not stay put.

SC Daily Brightening UV Def
This pains me as I’m a huge SkinCeuticals fan as well. First, the scent reminds me of old, stale suntanning lotion. It’s oddly shiny, and not in a flattering way. It made my face breakout after day four. I think the worst part is that I just don’t get the need for this product? SC makes several other great SPF sunscreens that I love and will stick with. Sorry.

Disappointed
I'm a huge fan of SkinCeuticals, but this was a huge disappointment for me. Returning this after it caused a burning sensation and white heads on my skin. It also pilled with application.
