I have middle age, oily, fair skin. I have tried so many sunscreens from drugstore to luxe brands. Most are heavy, greasy, increase shine, or cause makeup to cake. Brands marketed towards acne-prone skin have caused awful breakouts on my nose and cysts on my cheeks. I'll use Tatcha's the silk sunscreen when I can't get this one, but hands down this formula is the best for my skin. Perfect as a pri tatcha.com
