Look At Me Jelly Water Based Sunscreen With Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer, 1.7 Fluid Ounce

I'm in my mid-40's and have horribly oily & acne-prone skin. It doesn't help that I live in the very humid southeastern part of the US. I think I've tried every oil-free sunscreen for acne-prone skin (Clinique, Neutrogena, Elta, DCL, DDF, Skinceuticals, etc) on the market at all price points and I have NEVER found one that didn't leave a "sheen" of some sort on my skin. The first time I applied this sunscreen I actually dug the box out of the trash to review the ingredients because it just didn't feel like any sunscreen I've used before and I wanted to confirm that the product actually WAS a sunscreen. It is...zinc & titanium dioxide are in the formulation. The gel seemed to be completely absorbed into my skin and I actually couldn't see anything on my face. Hours later, I'm still much less greasy than I'd normally be with another sunscreen. I'm going to add 3 more tube of this to my cart right now because this product is just THAT amazing. Seriously!

This sunscreen was going to be HG-worthy for me. Perfect texture, no shine after application, lightly moisturizing. Can't tell I'm wearing sunscreen seconds after applying.But then... someone posted a email they sent to the manufacturer asking for the percentages of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The response: 2% ZnO, 1% TiO2. The only other UV filter in this sunscreen is Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate). It is the eighth ingredient down in the list, which means that there is no way this sunscreen is more than 10% octinoxate. When you plug these values into the BASF sunscreen calculator, you get an SPF of 13 and a PA+ rating.While blocking both UVB and UVA is important, I am especially concerned with finding sunscreens that have a high PA (UVA-blocking) rating. UVA damage is the main cause of skin aging. Zinc oxide is the only ingredient in this sunscreen that blocks the full UVA range. There is no reality in which 2% zinc oxide is sufficient to provide a PA+++ rating. A PA+++ rating means that it takes at least eight times longer for skin to show signs of UVA damage, while a PA+ rating means it takes only 2-3 times as long.Edit (April 14, 2016): The seller has replied to my review with a comment stating the UV filters used in this product. They say: Titanium dioxide (1%), Zinc Oxide (2%), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (5%), Ethylhexyl Triazone (3%).Ethylhexyl Triazone is not in the list of ingredients, so this is blatantly false. I went and looked up the manufacturer's product page (in korean) to check their ingredients list, and ethylhexyl triazone was nowhere to be found.When you plug these new values (1% TiO2, 2% ZnO, 5% octinoxate) into the BASF sunscreen simulator, you get an SPF of 10 and a PA+ rating.And another thing: as of this writing the Amazon ingredients list contains both "Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate" and "Octyle Methoxycinnamate." These are the same thing, octinoxate. It seems the seller is attempting to pad the ingredients list with UV filters while being "technically correct." What a joke.Edit (April 28, 2016): Looks like people are still buying this sunscreen. Unfortunate for them. Also looks like the seller has signed up for one of those amazon review-buying sites, because people are now posting "honest and unbiased reviews in exchange for a discount." This sunscreen is so bad you have to bribe people into buying it.Edit (May 7, 2016): The seller is being increasingly inflammatory toward me in the comment thread of this review. He refuses to resolve the discrepancies I point out in this review. It's a good read, check it out!

Not your typical American sunscreen ladies and Iove it! Never again will I wear a sticky, shiny, white-cast sunscreen. This feels alot like a primer/pore filler. My guess is that it has a silicone base. I apply this last- after moisturizing, and it seems to have a blurring affect. NO white cast whatsoever but it just smooths things out. It does eventually absorb in but give it a few minutes or it might affect make-up application. I have very sensitive, hormonal skin and I've had no breakouts or redness. The only bummer is that it is not water resistant,,,not even to perspiration. So this is great for Winter but once Summer is here I'll be switching to something with water resistance. Really worth giving a try!Update: Used this while Skiing in Colorado, U.S.A and it worked like a charm. Due to the altitude, the UV rays are very intense so many people wear 50-70 spf. I was concerned since it isn't water resistant but even while skiing it worked perfectly. I did reapply every hour and wore no foundation while skiing. Also, still no breakouts...yahoo!!Update #2:It's now Summer and I'm sad to say that the combination of sun exposure, heat, and this product has caused a rash on my face. Tested this 2 times...and this product is the culprit. I had no problems during the Winter months, however. Will probably switch back a mineral based sunscreen vs this one which is all chemical. Bummer

EDIT: I no longer use this because I do not trust the company and its list of ingredients. I have not burned while wearing this, but I never wore it to be outside and I'm also tan. I can't recommend the product in spite of how it functions as a primer because I don't know what's in it. Buyer beware.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love this sunscreen, in spite of usually only using fragrance free products on my face (the perfume in this is quite strong). I like the ingredients and the fact that the lack of alcohol does not seem to affect this sunscreen's fast drying time. It dries quite matte, and the gel texture makes it very very easy to get the recommended 1/4 ts on your face. Moreover, for me personally this acts like a decent primer; it doesn't affect the longevity of my make up, and it also serves to blur out pores.I definitely plan to repurchase this in spite of the very perfumy smell of it (at least it doesn't last all day?)/

It makes the skin feels moisturized but skin breaks out the next day.
