Effective

I've used this particular sunscreen off & on. It is very effective and goes on smooth without leaving the typical greasy residue. It does not leave a film after applying and found my skin still slightly moisturized a few hours after application. I am not too fond of the smell, it has somewhat of a chemical odor, but it is faint and I tend to be sensitive. Overall, it works but is bit pricey when compared to similar products.

Glytone is gentle and doesn't run!

This was given to me as a gift, so I don't know how much it costs, but I really love it. If the cost isn't crazy high and I can find it, I'll be buying it when this tube runs out. Almost everything else runs into my eyes, and this doesn't. The sweatproof stuff kind of pills up when I put makeup over it, but this doesn't. It actually helps makeup go on better. It feels a little thick in your hand at first, but absorbs quickly. It's not at all greasy, but feels very moisturizing and soothing. This is important, as I have very sensitive skin. It doesn't leave a white film on my face like many other zinc oxide-based sunscreens. I like the fact that it comes in a decent level of SPF (40). I hope that it also comes in higher levels, as I would get something higher if it had the same great properties. I also like that it provides both UVA and UVB protection, but I'm not sure what that signifies, as anything over SPF 15 does provide some protection from both. With zinc, though, it's probably a real block. Nice stuff!

Excellent sunscreen for sensitive/allergic skin

I received this sunscreen in my last Test Tube (great product try program you can purchase through www.newbeauty.com).  I search every year for sunscreen with great coverage that is gentle enough for sensitive skin, won't make my face break out, no stinky chemical smell, dries quickly, has UVA and UVB coverage and gets the job done with as few chemicals as possible.  Finally, this arrived on my doorstep.  I have very, very fair skin and can get the beginnings of a sunburn just walking to the mailbox.  I am really impressed by this sunscreen.  It has a very neutral scent, which is a big plus.  It also goes on very easily and dries quickly without any residual greasy feeling.  I am happy to report that it also hasn't caused me any breakouts in my annoyingly touchy T-zone.  It also goes on very light, almost more like a gel than a cream.  It doesn contain parabens, which is a bit of a turnoff, but on the other hand it doesn't contain any oil or fragrances and is non-comedogenic.  It is pricey, but no more than what you would spend if you get your sunscreen from a beauty counter in a department store.  For sensitive skin types that have a reaction at the smallest thing (like me), I prefer to forgo the extra money in exchange for being able to finally use sunscreen.
