Very good sunscreen, August 30, 2010

My wife and I both like this sunscreen - so far it is the best we have found, but it is still not perfect as it is a bit greasy. That being said, it is MUCH less greasy than most other sunscreens.

My only concern is the nanoparticles used in this sunscreen (and others). Since there are no long-term safety studies performed on nanoparticles, we are a bit concerned that the nanoparticles will be absorbed through our skin and accumulate in our organs (as the studies suggest they do) and cause problems later on.

Dermatologist reccomended, Princess approved, April 23, 2008

My dermatologist recommended this stuff. She says that true sun blocks contain zinc-oxide or "z-cote". I have a skin condition called melasma that is aggravated by sun exposure. I especially have to protect my face. This is the only sun screen that doesn't feel oily and does sting when I put it on. I think you get a lot for the price. I will continue to buy this stuff as long as they make it.

This review is from: Elta MD UV shield SPF 45, 3 Ounce (Misc.)

I have been looking for a while for a good sunscreen for my face that will not feel oily/greasy or make me break out. This product fits the bill perfectly. It is very sheer and does not cause any stinging/burning sensations that I suffer with many other sunscreen products. In fact, it is so gentle, I even use around my eyes. I took my first tube from my brother when I went to visit but now I have my own. I think it's a great price for what you get.
