Wow this is a new favorite
This is hands-down the best no-tint mineral sunscreen I have used. Why? It doesn't dry on my slightly dry, sensitive skin at all and feel comfortable all day. It doesn't wear great under non-mineral powder foundation (gets a little pasty around my nose) but it is great under the stick foundation I use as well as under tinted moisturizer and concealer with a little powder on top. It doesn't leave much of a cast, and it works wonderfully mixed with the Colorescience Flex to make it less flat looking and natural when going make up free. Water resistance is a big plus since my eyes always water when I go running outside or when wind blows in my face.

Finally!!
I have tried so many - and I mean SO MANY - sunscreens over the years. Always there was an issue. This sunscreen is finally the holy grail of sunscreens!! Not too heavy or greasy yet effective - and it doesn't break my skin out. At 50 I think I finally have it figured out. Even my hubby, who loathes sunscreen on his face, likes it! High praise indeed!

Love this sunscreen!
My husband and I were excited to try this new product, and we are now hooked. It had taken years to find a product we both like for our faces. Sometimes, the manufacturers would alter the formulas, which would make them too greasy. We use sunscreen on our ears, face, neck (front and back) and hands. This product does apply differently than most as you put it onto your skin, but it dried rapidly and leaves no white or greasy residue. I believe makeup could be applied almost immediately, and there would be no need to "dry" your face or powder first. I'm especially thrilled with its texture on my ears, neck and hands. I always felt like I was getting my hair greasy before, but I often wear my hair in a ponytail and wanted coverage on my ears. For the back of my neck, it avoids the issues with my hair and collars on shirts. Definitely a huge improvement for keeping sunscreen on the backs of my hands without feeling the need to wash the grease from the palms. I've been using the product daily for about ten days and am ordering two more while they are still on sale!

Finally!
I have been on the hunt for a lightweight, non-greasy and yet effective sunscreen for more than a year. This product is it! I love the way it feels after just a few minutes, and makeup goes on great after application. I also love that it has essentially no smell.

Best mineral sunscreen
This is the first mineral sunscreen I have ever used that didn't leave a white cast after applying. It truly blends into the skin. It does seem rather slick when first applied as one reviewer said but I found that after a few minutes it seemed to settled into my skin. I do have rather dry skin though so that was a plus for me. I just placed another order while it was on sale because I like it so much.

Good, dependable, everyday mineral sunscreen
I pre-ordered the 1.7 fl oz and was excited to try it out. I have used it a few times now. My skin type is combination, sensitive and acne-prone. Pros - there is no noticeable white cast on my skin tone (medium) once it blends in because it's very runny in texture (similar to Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50), it suited my sensitive skin without visible redness or breakouts, relatively easy to reapply Cons - it is very "slick" and gives the skin an oily appearance (not matte at all), even though it is lightweight there is a feeling of having a layer sitting on top of your skin so in that sense it's not cosmetically elegant I have not tried it under makeup yet but I think makeup would sit heavy on top of this. Overall, it's one of the better and repeatable mineral sunscreens out there but leaves more to be desired.

No White Cast? Yeah Right.
I prefer mineral sunscreen over chemical because I have sensitized skin. I also prefer non-tinted because tinted tends to look "makeupy," and I'm just a guy who wants non-irritating no-show protection. My needs fit the bill with how this product is marketed, so I was excited to try it. I have used this product multiple times, and the white cast is very white. This product does not live up to its marketing. No-Show is a LIE. I don't get it, my skin is fairly light and the white cast is really noticeable and does not dissipate. I will not repurchase this product. I have read articles about sunscreen layering to minimize white cast (i.e. applying multiple, evenly-distributed thin layers). I have tried so many products to avoid white cast. I have tried everything to try to escape white cast, but the white cast is inescapable. This is why I HATE SUNSCREEN.

Not For Me
I was excited to try this sunscreen because it was mineral based and had no tint. I found it to be quite thick and sticky. In addition, it had a distinct odor which made by eyes burn (even though I didn't put it around my eyes). I will stick with a sunscreen from a different brand.
