terrible white cast
Left a chalky white cast that lasted throughout the day and did not go away despite multiple attempts to rub into my skin. I’m very pale so I can’t imagine this is a good option for a wide range of skin tones

100 per cent increase in price in one year
A year ago I ordered the same sunscreen in five ounces for fifty dollars. This purchase is the same item, but advertised as one size for forty dollars. When I received it I realized it was only two ounces for forty dollars versus 5 ounces for fifty dollars a year ago. That’s one hundred per cent increase!!

LEAVES YOUR FACE WHITE-LOOKING AND IT IS NOT ABSORBED
BUMMER, LEAVES YOUR FACE WHITE, it is never completely absorbed and and, opposite to the other Shiseido sunscreens... the texture is quite THICK. It's expensive and I was indeed disappointed with the product.

I love this product.
I can't remember when I started using this sunscreen but over 10 years ago. I absolutely love it. You must rub in, but keeps you covered for hours.

Terrible new formula, ruined by face!!!
As I'm tying up this review, my face is red, irritated, and swollen! I have used the this sunscreen for 10+ years, and now they changed formula, I became allergic to all of their sunscreens! I'm livid!
