I love this sunscreen! The skin on my face is very delicate, oily, and acne prone. My pores clog easily. It’s been the only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out ever. This specific sunscreen is so hard to find in stock in stores now so this is the only app I can order it on. A little sad to see the price went up and the ingredients look different from my old bottle? Maybe just in different order. L Elizabeth · walmart.com

I’m absolutely in love with the Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex! It’s such a great find. The texture is amazing—it goes on so smoothly and feels weightless on the skin. What I love most is how well it holds up throughout the entire day without moving or feeling greasy. Honestly, I’m so happy I found this product Svitlana · colorescience.com
