This sunscreen is so unique in a good way. It spreads so easily and I didn’t need as much on my face as I do with other sunscreens. I learned this the first time I used it. I’m always liberal when I apply sunscreen to my face. Initially it goes on white but dries down and leaves little to no white cast. It doesn’t sting or burn my eyes. And dries down more matte. I think it’s an affordable price for the amount you get if you plan to use it as a face sunscreen.

I bought this for its water resistance and high quality. It was a bit greasy for my skin, but I think it offers good protection.

My husband is a red head with very sensitive skin. He has tried all brands of sunscreen and this is the first one that doesn't irritate his skin. Not only that, it works great with our very active outdoor lifestyle.

This is so light weight and actually feels good on my skin. Not like a typical sunblock, works amazing under makeup....and again is light and does not feel like anything is on.

This seems to be a decent sunscreen. I wear it under my foundation. Nothing special about it. It's a good option at an affordable price.

Love the fact that this stuff makes me feel protected. It's thick, yet your skin absorbs it fast and leaves no trace of it.

The formula feels unexpectedly wet upon application, but the finish feels reasonably comfortable and light when it dries--not nearly as sticky as typical sunscreens. I have some concern about the texture and protection level on humid days under active conditions, though. I wore this while running on a sunny humid day, and I felt like my sun protection was literally melting from my face and neck. Since then, I have reserved it for less humid days. Ive used it as an "everyday" sunscreen on my face and neck, and it is comfortable for daily use, as well--not just for active days.

PCA skin is great, the sunscreen is great. Since the last time I bought it, though, they put PCA skin products on a short list that doesn't get the 10% off with the save10 promo code. Took away all of my incentive to shop here. Without the 10% off, it is cheaper at lots of other sites.

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. It's not cheap but it's a large tube and the product goes on easily, smoothly. I always start with way too much. It doesn't leave a white film on my face. And I typically hate the feel of sunscreen on my face...this I can handle. And because of the high SPF and water/sweat resistent, I'm sold. It feels really nice & there isn't that tell-tale sunscreen smell.
