Perfect Sunscreen!! - 5/26/2012 10:32:29 AM I have extreme combination skin! It's dry, sensitive, redness prone and acne prone! I've tried many sunscreens that either break me out, end being extremely greasy and never skin in. That is not the case with Obagi. This stuff is great. It's basically fragrance free, sinks in beautiful and dries down to a comfortable finish that feels like you have nothing on. Best of all it doesn't cause any breakouts! Definitely give this a try if your skin is as finicky as mine!

Love the tone! - 5/20/2012 7:02:07 PM I haven't used a lot of self tanners, but of the ones I've used this has been by far the best. The bronzer thats in it lets you clearly see where you have applied and after using it twice now I've had no tell tale lines or streaks. It creates a wonderful warm glow and looks just like when I have a natural tan. Also, a little goes a long way so I haven't minded the price.

Excellent for protection and sensitive skin - 5/17/2012 7:32:14 AM I started using retin-A and I wanted to be serious about protecting my skin and preventing signs of aging. I was looking for a high Zinc sunscreen and this one has 17% (Dr. Bailey recommends at least 7%)! Since it's nano, the zinc does blend in pretty well (a lot better than say a 10% non-nano zinc sunscreen). I have medium-tan skin, so there is a white halo when I wear this, but it's easily covered with a light dusting of powder or foundation. The base of this sunscreen is really nice! It feels smooth on the skin, but I can tell that some oily skin types might not like it. I lean towards combination/dry, so I prefer heavier hydration. It leaves a light glow, dewy look under make-up, I dig it. I have had no issues with breakouts or stinging in the eyes. On to price, it's a little expensive, especially since it's recommended to use a teaspoon amount for the face/neck (that would be about 5-7 pumps). I skimp some and use about 3-4 pumps in the morning. But! I will continue to purchase and use year round and I think it's a wonderful product.

Good primer - 5/15/2012 3:06:36 PM I love the texture of the primer and the way it leaves my skin prepped for makeup, however, a little goes a very long way ... meaning I'm not sure you can use enough to ensure good sun protection. If I use more than a drop or two, it is way to thick on my skin, grabs my foundation and accentuates my pores (I use a powder mineral foundation). It may be better to stick with using a good SPF lotion/gel on your face then applying a little of this primer over it. You can never have too much SPF (I'm very fair skinned).

Great for chemical sunscreen allergies - 5/10/2012 6:43:19 AM I usually forego daily sunscreen on my face & just try my best to keep my face out of the sun because I have horrible allergies/sensitivities to chemical UVA/UVB sunscreens whether alone or in a daily moisturizer. Most chemical free mineral sunscreens are thick, globby, whitish, & sticky look. I avoid them due to them giving me a wet, oily look on my face that doesn't fade much during the day unless I glob on tons of make up, which I don't want to do. THis is the 1st daily sunscreen for face that I have found that doesn't have any greasy feel or look to it at all. My only complaint is that for my combo skin it sits on the dry spots as a white smear, so I have to add on a sensitive skin moisturizer under the sunscreen. It's an extra step I'd rather not need, but it's worth it because combined the 2 products work wonderfully on my face & I get the sun protection there that I need.

do not recommend - 5/8/2012 9:30:31 PM I tan easily and have skin prone to clogged pores. This product smells & feels wonderful!! It is very effective & results are noticed immediately. However, even though I let the product dry completely prior to any clothes touching my skin, the lotion rubbed off onto my clothes, and continued to to so for the next several days. Arcona makes great products, but I do not recommend this one.

Pros and Cons - 5/8/2012 2:29:56 PM My reluctance to use self tanners is that awful, typical strong smell that comes with them. I was hopeful with this product after reading the description and review of the pleasant citrusy scent. And it does have a nice smell.... for the first hour or two. Then comes the powerful self-tanner smell. However, I was happy with color, ease of application, lightweight feel, and gradual tan.

Great sunscreen for oily skin!! - 5/7/2012 1:23:01 PM I love, love this sunscreen! It goes on matte and feels weightless once it's on. And it's such a great value!!! Be careful though, because if it's not rubbed in well then it can ball up on just sit on your skin.

Good but not for oily skin - 5/7/2012 1:17:18 PM I am always on the lookout for good sunscreen and was intrigued by the fact that it was described as a "serum" since my skin is so oily. While it is quite lightweight, it's not really a serum but a runny lotion, which is not a bad thing. I think most people will actually like the texture: it is truly light and absorbs fairly quickly. My problem with it is that it is fairly shiny and makes my already oily skin look downright slick, so I ended up using it just on my neck. I think if you have normal/combination or dry skin, you might love it. Also, it's pretty pricey.
