I have used this product for many years. It is the best sunscreen I have ever found, and I have tried many... It goes on very light (liquid) and leaves NO residue! Never greasy and works incredibly well - better than other sunscreens that claim they have 50% coverage. The other most important factor to this particular sunscreen is that if you have rosacea (as I do) you will have no reaction to thi Sandra · paulaschoice.com

I’m always seeing people talking about their “holy grail products”, and had basically given up on finding mine. I have extremely fair, sensitive skin with type 1 and type 2 rosacea. I’ve tried every sunscreen recommended for rosacea sufferers, and each one caused either breakouts, flareups, redness, sensitivity, etc. or left my face with a white cast or looking/feeling like a sticky oil slick.
