WOW!!
I have been looking for a face lotion with high SPF and this does above and beyond that. Not only does it not leave a greasy mess on your face after you apply it or if you start to sweat, it has vitamin c and e which is vital for your skin in order to prevent signs of aging. I would recommend this product!

Goes on with a pale blue tint - clown-like.
I can't speak to the SPF properties because I haven't used it outside for long. However, it goes on skin with a whitish-blueish tint. Even after massaged in, there is a blueish tint remaining. Makes my face look mask-y and clown-like. Makeup over it might hide the color but didn't want to have to do that.

Good features, works well under makeup
I specifically bought this for the combination of sun protection and reduction of dark spots. I've been using for a month with no apparent results on the latter. Seems to work OK for sun protection. I do like that it's a happy medium in terms of consistency or texture once applied (it isn't sticky and yet it isn't slippery or greasy) and works well to apply makeup over top. I would recommend as a good sunscreen for office days but not necessarily for the reduction of dark spots.

Excellent protection
I have been using this daily for about a year now. I am out in the sun with my horses a lot. This sunscreen has evened out my skin tone while protecting it from further damage. At this point, I wouldn't go out in the sun without it!

Recommend by doctor
I bought this at my doctor's recommendation when I developed a allergic reaction to my sunscreen. It seems to contain none of the ingredients to which I was allergic and goes on smoothly. It is light, non-greasy, odorless and seamless under makeup. I use it as directed and also on the backs of my hands, where the ravages of time have taken a toll. So far, so good. I'm happy.

Safety and fresh
Love! I have melasma on my forehead and this makes me feel safe, without making my face white and goopy like zinc!

nice cream texture but too thick
I have been searching through bottles and tubes of sunscreens for one that is not matte, moisturizes and does not contain oxybenzone. This one seemed like a good choice bc I thought it may also help with my age and sun spots. Initially I liked it..it has more of a feel of a moisturizer, so no need to use a day cream and a sunscreen. But as I manuvered through my morning, my hair was getting stuck to my face and I could feel a goopy-ness on my skin. To the hand, my face was a bit sticky. I'd also ordered the Malin _ Goetz SPF 30, and even though I wanted a high SPF, I decided to keep the Malin one..it is perfect..a light, sheer cream, no gooey-ness or tackiness, and it sinks right in. If you are super dry you may like the Dennis Gross one, but if you have combo skin or are texture sensitive, esp. in hotter months, this may be a bit thick.
