My absolute favorite sunscreen. I was battling hormonal acne and this didn’t make things worse. I love wearing it under makeup or by itself. When I wear by itself if gives a beautiful very slight sheen to face. I look hydrated without looking overly glowy or greasy.
I use to hate wearing sunscreen because every single one I’ve used would break me out or just make my skin look so oily, I was skeptical buying this but literally this one leaves my skin soft, hydrated and protected without leaving that weird sticky and oily cast on.
After using this product for a week my skin has never looked worse. My skin is burning and so dry with red splotches all over.
I used this for a year before deciding to try a different sunscreen. It's very lightweight, which is important to me, and has high SPF. I felt it hydrates well, but it can leave a bit of a cast if it's not rubbed in all the way. It can also pill, but not significantly for me because I wasn't layering with make up, but I can imagine it could be a problem for some people. I liked it, and it never caused any problems with my skin, but it's not my favorite sunscreen I have ever used.
While it is very lightweight and hydrating, it also seemed to burn my skin. As someone with sensitive skin who uses tretinoin and clindamycin, it made my face red and irritated. It also started pilling as I was rubbing it in.
I have multiple sunscreens because I live in a place with high UV most of the year, but with true seasons and drastic weather changes. I have dry skin most of the time (a bit glowy on the t-zone at certain times of the month now). I like in a very dry place, but I visit humid places often. This sunscreen goes on smoothly, it's easy to blend after skincare and before make up, won't peel, and won't leave a white cast. It also doesn't smell weird after a day in the heat! (which other sunscreens I love do). It is the only sunscreen that won't give me acne the week before my period too; most sunscreens will tire my skin if I don't rotate them. The only thing to note is that it is lightweight, so it is not hydrating enough for dry skin, in very dry Winter weather, even over thick moisturizers. But it's great the rest of the year!!
This never stings my eyes, and has a nice finish for my oily skin. I’d buy it again!
I have used this sunscreen for about six weeks now. I like that it's easy to apply (thinner than most sunscreens). It wears well underneath makeup and it has no white cast. I used to use the Korean beauty of Joseon (before they changed their formula to the American filters, etc). I have also tried a few other brands but I like the Paula's choice for now. If you are looking for a thicker consistency, this isn't for you.
As an acne prone girly with occasional oily skin, this is my favorite sunscreen ever. So far I'm on my second bottle, I haven't had any purging and no new breakouts caused from this product.
