Defective batch and formula has changed
I ordered the matte formula early this year and got one that was gritty and like a scrub when it went on your face. I called customer service and after taking a lot of pictures and having to send back the defective tube, they sent me a new one. The new one was not gritty but it was very oily like compared to the old MATTE formula. I did not find this new formula matte at all, but very similar to most greasy sunscreen. I think it still works though. Wish they stuck with the old formula.

This is the best facial sunscreen I have ever used. It is easy to apply and it really works without causing breakouts.

Great protection with Obagi Sun Shield SPF50
I have used this sun shield for two years. It goes on easy, covers very well and my foundation goes on nicely. It goes on white at the outset but soon disappears and I find it has moisturizing benefits. On a daily basis this is all I need after washing my face in the morning. I use the Nu Derm System and have been very happy with this sunscreen as a complement to the Obagi program I use.

New Formula is Gritty and Greasy
It feels like an extremely fine exfoliater. It’s also more greasy than it used to be. It’s a shame, I’ve used this for 10 years at least - I’ll miss the old formula!

What I never knew I needed!
I LOVE this sunscreen and wear it daily. I originally tried it with my Nu-Derm kit and couldn't order more fast enough! I was worried it would leave my face feeling oily but that has not been an issue.

Horrible
This one of the most horrible sunscreens I have ever tried. And believe me I have tried a lot of professional brands but it sucks. It is gritty. Why are there tiny balls rubbing against your skin. Anyone who has sensitive skin, using Retin A, done professional peels , laser etc, this is not for you. The balls feel irritating against your skin also leaves a white cast.

Great sunscreen!
This sunscreen is not oily and doesn’t run! It gives my skin the appearance of a smooth apricot complexion which I love and it doesn’t clog up my pores! Will buy again!

My holy grail
I've been trying other sunblock like korean sunblock and even EltaMd, but I keep coming back to this one.

Eh
This product is not for me. I was looking for a daily sunscreen to wear over my moisturizer and under my makeup. It was too greasy and made my face way too shiny. This product will probably be good for the beach or pool but not for daily use, I am returning and will continue the hunt for something else.

Not Matte
I tried this product because it’s supposed to be matte. Well it’s thick and greasy just like any other over-the-counter sunscreen I could purchased at a much cheaper price. There is nothing matte about this sunscreen and it’s not worth the cost.

Excellent sun protector
I have been using this sunscreen for years and works excellent on my skin. It is soft and does not leave my face grease. I put my makeup on and looks perfect. I could rave for days about this product but I’ll leave you to find out how amazing it is.

A Favorite
People ask all the time why is your skin so clear, smooth and wrinkle free. Most think I am in my 50's. (don't tell anyone but I am really over 70.) I have Obagi to thank, and just follow the Obagi recipe every day & night.

New
I was ready to give up on Obagi sunscreen. It was greasy and granular. The new formula is very creamy and massages in well. Love it!

Great Sunscreen
I’ve used the old formula before this version and I agree with others that this new version feels very grainy and not quite matted like advertised. It, actually, leaves my skin looking glowy. It is one of my favorite due to the fact that it doesn’t stink or burn my eyes which is a big plus for me since I reapply couple of times a day. Overall, it is a great product if you don’t mind the grainy feeling when using, hence the 4 stars.
