Finally found a lightweight face sunscreen!
I have tried it all. Everything burned my face. This doesn’t. Goes on and absorbs nicely. I have dry skin, if that helps you decide.

burns
For a long time I was trying to figure out what was burning my skin! Turns out it was this product and I know because I’ve used alone twice now and it burns I have rosacea plus sensitive skin. Wouldn’t recommend.

stung my eyes
I love the texture of this sunscreen and would give it a 5/5 except after ~2 hours of wearing it, my eyes started to water so badly that I had to cancel appointments for the rest of the day so I can sit at home in the dark.

5 Stars
I struggle with a sensitive face and every sunscreen I have ever tried breaks me out. As an avid Kiehl’s user, I grabbed this product when it came out. I have had no breakouts and can’t complain about it. Will buy again and again!

Nice texture, but pricey
This sunscreen is light and creamy. Goes on smoothly - not sticky and a little goes a long way. It is a chemical sun barrier that is SPF 50. However, as with most sunscreens it must be applied every two hours. The container size is small, and made of glass which I like (too many plastics), but that makes it heavy to carry around for reapplication and not the best choice for the pool. It is much more expensive compared to other sunscreens, but it does contain collagen peptides - an added skin benefit. I think I am more likely to use it spring, fall and winter when I go out for limited periods and with less exposed skin (face and hands) and at a time when I am less likely to remember er a sunscreen.

lightweight
Lightweight, absorbs quickly and no chemical/sunscreen smell. I have oily skin and this doesn’t make me shiny. Initially bought this in the smaller .5 oz and loved it so much I got the bigger size. Can’t speak to the rest of the claims yet (brightening etc) but will update after I use for a longer time.

White sunscreen “lotion”
This smells, feels, and looks exactly like just straight liquid white sunscreen. I have very sensitive skin and this did not perform well. I’m sure the sun protection works, but I’m not willing to find out at the cost of my skin texture. This is drying, and burns. If you love putting straight sunscreen on your face, this is for you.

Light Sun Screen
This is the best sunscreen I have used. It feels good going on because it’s a soft serum. There is no residue, it’s feels light, and it disappears. I am glad I made the purchase. I don’t hesitate reaching for the bottle when I will be out in the sun. I have tried many sunscreens and this one is the best in my opinion.

Strong Smell
The sunscreen goes on face beautifully and feels pretty light. Sadly, I ended up throwing away most of a large bottle because the sunscreen smell was too much for daily wear. For the beach, etc., you expect to deal with that smell, but it was too much for me.
