Finally, a sunscreen that works for my mature, acne-prone sk

I normally don't leave reviews, even though I read other people's reviews all the time. However, I felt compelled to leave a review for this sunscreen because I noticed so many negative reviews, and many seem to be from customers who preferred the previous formula. I can't speak to the old formula because I never used it. I can only review the product that is currently being sold, and I have to say—I love it! I've tried several sunscreens and even researched Consumer Reports recommendations to find some of the best options for my face. I've tried highly rated brands, but this is the sunscreen that works best for me. I'm over 50 and have mature, medium-deep skin that is also acne-prone, so finding the right facial sunscreen can be challenging. Many sunscreens leave my face looking shiny, which I don't like. This one doesn't. Even better, it doesn't leave a white cast on my complexion and has not caused me to break out. I even gave some to my daughter to try, and she agreed that it didn't cause her to break out either. For reference, I typically wear this sunscreen without foundation or other face makeup. I start with a clean face and apply MAC Hyper Real Eye Serum and Hyper Real SkinCanvas Balm. Once those products have absorbed and dried down, I apply the sunscreen. I finish with a little MAC Yum Yum blush on my cheeks and Yum Yum lipstick, and that's it. If you're reading the negative reviews and wondering whether you should try this sunscreen, I recommend judging the current formula on its own. For my mature, medium-deep, acne-prone skin, it has been a great find.

Great Daily SPF That Works Well Under Makeup

I've been really impressed with this SPF. It goes on smoothly, doesn't feel greasy, and works great as a makeup primer. My foundation applies evenly over it and lasts well throughout the day without pilling. I also like that it has SPF 50, so I get good sun protection without needing a separate sunscreen. It feels lightweight on my skin and doesn't leave a white cast. If you're looking for a product that combines skincare, sun protection, and a solid makeup base, I definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Weightless moisturizer

Daily Moisturizer

This is the moisturizer that I use daily before applying my foundation. This moisturizer is weightless and absorbs quickly providing a smooth canvas for my foundation. This works well under liquid foundation and under airbrush foundation. I have very sensitive skin and it is so hard to find moisturizers that do not cause outbreaks or skin discomfort. For me personally this is that moisturizer.

Review of Mac prep

This is a sun protection cream- SPF 50. I put on everyday before makeup for 10 years and people say I look younger than 64. I believe it’s this product.

Pricey but Works Well!

I like this primer. I lay a facial SPF underneath it with matching filters/ingredient base because the tube is very small (Super Goop Unseen SPF is what I layer underneath). If you were to apply this primer in adequate amounts for the full SPF the tube would run out very quickly, which is why I just layer a different SPF underneath it. It does seem to grip my makeup onto my skin well and gives it a more smooth finish. The smell is like an SPF lotion, but a little less in your face. The one thing I wish is that it come in a larger tube for the price.
