Paula's Choice Extra Care Oil Free Sunscreen for Face, SPF 50 Face & Body Sunscreen, Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Aloe & Vitamin A/C, Sweat & Water Resistant, Fragrance-Free, UVA/UVB Protection, 5oz

The only sunscreen for my face that I have found not to irritate my eyes at all is cerave tinted moisturizer, but sometimes that makes me look orange, so I have set out to find an alternative. I tried a few including eltamd, tula, vichy, superfood and La roche posay. This is the least irritating out of all of them for the eyes. But it still irritates a little. It’s minimally shiny. Not as mad as some other ones, but it’s not bad. It’s the best non-mineral sunscreen for the face I have found and will stick with it for now. Also great value for the price! The smell is tolerable.

I will start by saying that I have purchased an *embarrassing* amount of SPF over the last year since I discovered Skincare by Hyram, then Dr Susan Yara, Cassandra Bankson and finally, the beloved DR DRAY... It also may be sparked by discovering the powers of an FSA, but let's move on shall we? ;-P I've tried a few sunscreens here and there that I've liked enough (Elta MD Tinted SPF 41, Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense, etc.)-- BUT THIS!!!!! ---- THHHIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!By watching Dr Dray I discovered Paula's Choice. When I decided to splurge on a few PC products, I was dizzied by the vast array of sunscreens to choose from and didn’t know where to start. I wanted to try them all since they all sounded good for different reasons. Dr Dray had specifically called out this sunscreen and their red “glow” sunscreen, so, to choose between the two, I decided to start with the cheapest. I figured, maybe there's a reason it's cheap. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL! However, I am so glad I started here. My tween daughter will *gladly* witness to all of you that I've never been so embarrassingly smitten by a sunscreen in my entire life! (I am 38, LOL!)What I love about it:#1 -- $17.00 for FIVE OUNCES is just WONDERFUL! HAS ME OVER THE MOON!!!#2 -- It really pours out quickly and a little bit goes a long way (I do apply in LAYERS though).#3 -- It actually IS silky and matte and I can use it on my face (including the eyelids and corners of my eyes!) as well as my body. As I mentioned, I do apply in layers and I never feel greasy or heavy. It’s glorious!I love it so much that I made my mom try it too (we do this with skin care, lol) and told her that if she loves it, I will get some for her as well. She did! I actually came on here to order some more and realized I hadn't yet written a review about my newly beloved sunscreen. So, here I am! Making sure the world knows that this product is worth trying. Considering that we were paying $12.99(ish) for 3oz of Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense (body) lotion, I think $17.00 for 5oz of amazingness is great!I like to use both a chemical and a mineral sunscreen; so I start with this one and then, for my “makeup” I apply the Elta MD Tinted SPF 41. The two play together nicely. ;-)For some reason this isn’t FSA eligible, but I love it enough that it is worth buying anyway! Hope this was helpful. If even one person tries this sunscreen due to my review, and loves it as much as I have, then I am happy! *Insert glee emotion from Animal Crossing* ;-P

I love how much product you get for the price. It’s hard to find affordable, good, face sunscreens. I do like this product, but the “sunscreen smell” is very strong. It also seems to burn around my eye area for a bit after I first apply it even though it says it’s for sensitive skin. When you first put it on it does feel pretty greasy, but it immediately soaks into your skin. And there is no white cast which is nice! I think it’s a good product for the price and amount you get. I’ll be using it till it’s gone.

This is my go to sunscreen from Paula. I have used it for many years and am afraid to switch. In fact, this is the first sunblock that converted me into a true daily sunscreen wearer. I have just turned 40 years old and can say I get compliments on my skin, lack of aging constantly. My best advice besides a health diet is sunscreen everyday, no matter what. For years I relied solely on the slight SPF that was provided by my makeup because everything made me itch, have acne breakouts, or burned my skin or eyes. Paula's products were a God send for my sensitive skin, which has become very dry over the past several years. I agree with other reviewers that sometimes a little "crust" will turn up in the product, but be aware that this is not coming from inside the container where the sunscreen is, but accumulates on the rim of the lid over time, where leftover product sits. I think air hits the product and causes it to dry out and so it thickens. If you don't wipe the lid off, when you turn to squirt some of the product out, this will inevitably get mixed in and make its way onto your face as an unattractive white glob. Easy fit-simply have a look at the inside of the lid and wipe with tissue when there is residue. Perhaps this could be solved by a different type of lid with a better seal, but I find this complaint so minor, and her prices so good, that I don't complain. This is called non-greasy and I find that true for my skin type but if you have oily skin you may want to order directly from paula's website where you can get sample sizes at good prices. Another great think about her products is almost everything can be sampled in smaller containers so money isn't wasted.

This sunscreen did the job, it's not necessarily a bad sunscreen. However, I did find that it was a bit too oily for my liking. It didn't absorb into the skin well, trying to put makeup over it was a pain in the butt. plus side? It didn't have a noticeable white cast and it did it's job - I never got burned using it.

I don’t know why it doesn’t have better reviews. I have purchased this several times and recommended to everyone.This is a sunscreen with active ingredients ( I can see how other people could get irritation with it! But if you keep it simple in the morning with vitamin c and moisturizer you should be fine)Is not for everyone lol it has Retinyl palmitate which I love for anti aging one of the very very few sunscreens that have some sort of vitamin A in it. The texture is great is just a dream! No white cast is a serum like consistency very light weight. You look radiant wearing it.But if u are sensitive approach with caution I have used it for the longest time is my holy grail and it does sting a little bit.
