Great product
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
Really love this sunscreen. I was using shiseido before which has a nice texture but this one I honestly think is better. It doesn’t burn my eyes when I’m at the gym like other sunscreen too. Don’t usually need to wear a moisturizer with it because it is moisturizing, but I guess some people may consider a con depending on what you’re looking for. I am a super oily girl in general and I would say if you are sensitive to that then maybe try one of their more mattifying ones which I plan to do after I run out of this one. Otherwise, I don’t think I will change brands for SPF after trying this.

Lightweight, no pilling over moisturizer
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
I tried this sunscreen after previously using EltaMD UV Clear and I won't go back. I wanted something without octinoxate and that wouldn't pill when layered over my moisturizer (Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer). This does the job perfectly. It's lightweight and feels great on my skin. So far, no breakouts.

Sunscreen with Niacinamide La Roche-Posay
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
This sunscreen has been a real discovery. Its light texture absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy feeling or white residue, and is perfect for daily use even under makeup. Since I use it, I feel my skin more protected, hydrated and with a more uniform tone. The combination of high sun protection with niacinamide is a success: it helps prevent spots, soothes the skin and improves its texture over time. In addition, it does not clog pores or cause outbreaks, which is ideal for sensitive skin or skin with a tendency to acne. It is effective, comfortable to wear and fulfills what it promises. If you are looking for a sunscreen that not only protects, but also cares for and improves your skin, this is a safe investment.
