I used to love this sunscreen. I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin. Either it breaks me out or burns me. This was the only sunscreen that didn't do either. They recently changed the...

I have oily skin and this works for me! It is a but lightening but if you blend it in really well, massaging it in, it's not so bad and it won't ball up. Doesn't make me break out, doesn't make my...

Good SPF, ok moisturizing properties. But then, it is oil free. I actually had to add a bit of Argan oil to my cheeks for moisture. And unlike most physical sunscreen, this did not leave any white...

I like that it's all natural with no chemical sunscreen . It's also not expensive and fragrance free but I think it's giving me pimples. I'm not sure . Cliniderm SPF 45 is still the best.

Is natural mineral sunscreen good?
