It has a super strong smell.
Not as greasy and shiny as UV Naturals. That's a plus. Thicker paste, easy to apply, but even though it's micronized leaves a white tint on my face. Is shiny and never fully absorbs because it's so "moisturizing?". It's an okay sunscreen and doesn't cost much. I bought mine on sale for $10.50, but it's normally $15 for 3oz. I wear foundation over mine to minimize the white tint. I got use to the strong smell, but don't recommend it for sensitive noses.

Not the best for oily skin.
I wrote the review that Kimberly mentioned in her review and I did cover the tip of my nose. I do apply 30 minutes before I go out, except if I'm on the beach, I'm not about to hide in the bathroom for 30 minutes for every coat of sunscreen every two hours. I got a tan, maybe the sand interfered with my sunscreen, maybe not. I am very fair, which is why I must reapply every 2 hours. The four hours they say doesn't apply to fair people or so I've read. Reapplication:it is like layering another coat of grease on. Costs about $30 plus s&h. Too pricy for it's false claim of non-greasy. On the plus side it does go on clear and doesn't stain clothing white. Absorbs better on the body than the face, for me.

Thanks Marisol! I'll try it out...sounds like another review in the making :-) I was reading about Vitamin D yesterday, and from what I understand, you can only absorb this in your body around midday and in the... more »
