Best I've tried so far
This is overall a good facial sunscreen. I would love if it were a bit more moisturizing, but I do have very dry skin and I feel like most 100% mineral sunscreens will be at least slightly drying (at least the ones I have tried!) Just needs a good moisturizer underneath if you are very dry like me. I have rosacea and very sensitive/reactive skin and this has not caused any problems so far after ~2 months of daily use, so that is a big win! Does not leave any white cast, but I am also naturally very pale so this isn't something I usually have an issue with. I have already repurchased once and plan to keep doing so.

Light and Easy!
I am always on the hunt for a good facial sunscreen. I REALLY like this. It's thin and easy to apply. Best of all - no sunscreen smell!

Blends well
This is a mineral sunscreen and starts out white but blends easily. Not greasy, great under makeup.

Good sunscreen
I like this a lot for my chest.. unfortunately I can’t use it on my face because it clogs my pores but I really like it for the sensitive skin on my chest

Perfect Sunscreen
This is the best sunscreen, ever! I have incredibly sensitive rosacea skin and this doesn't aggravate my skin. It's cosmetically elegant and nice to apply. I like that it's mineral protection, and not chemical. It would be great if they could increase the spf to 45, but I will keep buying this forever :)

Love it!
I am very sensitive to many products and I am happy to finally have sunscreen that doesn’t make my eyes itch and water. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t irritate or make my eyes burn. My foundation goes on great after using it. This is my new addition to my makeup routine!

SkinMedica spf 35
I like that this is almost invisible, however am diminishing the stars due to the migration factor I've discovered with this one. In addition, it is only an spf 35 as opposed to a higher rating. After all, I think the higher ratings should be preferable sun protection?

NEVER go without sunscreen!!!
My dermatologist would have my hide if I didn't use sunscreen everyday - especially here in FL.

Soothing Post-procedure Protection
This is my go-to protection following Fraxel treatments or when skin is irritable. It's a handy pump container that dispenses a nice consistency cream, not too shiny or too dry.

One of my favorite sunscreens
I mix this untinted sunscreen with the tinted version to get a better color match. I do occasionally wear this on its own and it leaves a slight white cast. I love the two together! They do not irritate my skin or eyes and blend nicely into my skin.

I really liked this product as it works perfectly on my skin. It helps to reduce redness and keeps my skin safe from the sunlight. It also does not make my skin oily. Very amazed by how it does what it says on the description, will order again.

Great broad spectrum sunscreen = amazing skin!
I've tried several sunscreens from drug store brands and expensive brands. I found this to be the best as it truly keeps my skin protected from the sun. Anytime I've spent time outside wearing this my skin never looks sun blotchy like it got sun. My skin tone looks the same as it did as if I just put on my serums. It glows. No white film left on the face. Make up goes on smoothly. Great for sensitive skin too. No breakouts. My dermatologist recommended this after I broke out from other brands. Love it! Also when I need to put more on later in the day if I'm outside a lot, it looks great over make up. Like really great. You can still see your makeup but it glows.

One of My Favorite SPFs
Any time I try something new, I always end up back at this Skinmedica SPF, and/or the tinted version of the same product. They go on so easily and are very moisturizing for my dry skin. It works really well under my make up. It's not water resistant so I typically just use this for days at the office. The white color rubs in very well and the tinted version looks dark when it comes out but also disappears and leaves just a tiny bit of color - it blends well, even though I have fair skin. My dermatologist always tells me that the best SPF is the one that you'll actually use - she's absolutely right. I've had other products that sit at my desk that I'm "supposed" to put on for my drive home to help shield my melasma but they are either too white or too chalky or are a mess to put on and get off your hands so I tend to avoid or forget, especially for the drive home. I keep one of these at my desk and don't mind putting it on at all.

Best face sunscreen under makeup
Love this sunscreen. I love and use some of SkinMedica products for the top quality results on my sensitive aging skin I have tried a lot of sunscreens, but this is better than any other medical grade brands. Not only is it a physical sunscreen but mineral based for sensitive skin. Can't live without it, especially in these summer months in Florida.

Great!
This is a great sunscreen. No white cast for me and very light and not greasy (and I have oily skin). Does not irritate my skin at all too!
