Hi! Our skin type seems to be similar. I have oily and combination skin, and this product does not dry up nor creates grease. I like how it sinks in after a while without white film. However, this is not a perfect one, and it might feel like greasy if your moisturizer under it is greasy. Make sure you use the right moisturizer under it to create the matte finish!

I have used this product on my children who are half black/half jewish. It has not left any white marks on their skin. It has left nothing visible on their skin

This product blends extremely well and doesn't leave any residue on the skin. I also have oily, sensitive skin that's acne prone, and I haven't had any trouble with this. In fact, it's actually improved my acne (I think because it's oil free, unlike most sunscreens). When I use this, I don't need to add a moisturizer, so that also helps cut down oil production. Even though it's expensive, I'd definitely recommend this product. If you decide to try it, I hope it works!

Hi

We've used this and not seen any white residue. One of my teens has combination skin and this has worked well. It also works well for me and I have normal skin.

Hope this helps.

I definitely know what you mean about the white film from SPF moisturizers. This moisturizer in no way leaves any type of film that changes your skin tone.

I think that depends on how oily/dry your skin is. For me, even products that are meant to be used as both a moisturizer/sunscreen were just too drying.

This is an excellent moisturizer. Unless you have super dry skin, you should not need to add any other moisturizers.

Yes!! I have oily acne prone skin and this can replace a moisturizer. It is hydrating!!

Hi,

This is to be used as both. It's very effective as a moisturizer.

Hope this helps.

This is a moisturizer with sunscreen. If you use this cream, you do not need an additional day moisturizer. I love day moisturizers with SPF in them so that I can skip the step of adding sunblock on top.

Even if you have oily skin, this is excellent under makeup. It's not at all oily or greasy. In fact, when I use this with my primer (YSL Matte Touch), my face does get oily for hours.

Great base for makeup!! I use it with my Halo or laura geller and I even tried it with bare minerals and it preforms well. Of chorus I reccomend still using a makeup primer if you want a flawless finish and longer lasting makeup preformance.

It worked pretty well under my Makeup Forever foundation - but I started breaking out after using it for a week or two. Not sure if it was just the sunscreen or the combination of it with foundation, but once I stopped using this product my skin cleared up.

Hi

It works well on it's own with a blush or bronzer over it. You'll be really pleased at how well your skin will look on its own without foundation.

You can try a sample at Sephora if they stock it, if you want to test it out.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it works beautifully under makeup. I have fairly normal skin, and just a little cream goes a long way. My skin feels moisturized without feeling greasy, and it does not affect my makeup routine negatively.

I've been using mine for a little over two months now and am pretty sure there is at least half left. I know some say to 'slather on the sunscreen' but I try not to use it too excessively. Just dot small amounts on the face and blend the product in making sure to get even and complete coverage. Since the spf is 30, it should be reapplied multiple times if you're in the sun for long periods of time.

i got the sample size and i used for for 2 times, applied it twice troughout the day. a little really does go a long way. for 65$, try the sample size, just in case!

I only use a small amount so I can see this tube lasting a whole summer if used everyday, maybe even longer depending on your usage.

Hi

It only takes a tiny bit to insure full coverage. One tube should last for months.

Hope this helps.

This moisturizer is rich and lightweight at the same time. I truly do not need very much of it in order to maintain my skin moisturized. The 2oz tube would probably last me up to 6 months using it only in the morning.

Please read the ingredients.This is not a naturelle product.It has a chemical sunscreen,Parabens,colourants,parfum,and many other things that could irritate a delicate face.I use Clarins for children all mineral sunblock,on my children,or the spray from Dr. huaschka(also all mineral and organic).Please do not use this on a child with ecsema,it could potentially make it worse.The American Dermatology assoc.,and others Pediatric etc. all have sites that are helpful.When I am in the States I always just look it up,on a respectable government site.Hope this helps,Oh, and you can get you're answer straight away,without waiting for the lot of us to chime in(often with conflicting answers.)Hope you're child is well.

Hi,

I suggest you consult with her doctor who is aware of the specifics of her condition. One of my teens has a similar problem and the doctor likes to monitor everything that goes on the skin.

Hope this helps.

This moisturizer is made from natural ingredients, and I have never experienced an adverse reaction from using it. You might also try a sample of LaVanilla's new baby products. That brand is also all natural.

According to the packaging, it says,

--Active ingredients--
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (7.0%)
Titanium Dioxide (1.9%)
Zinc Oxide (0.025%)

Hope this helps!

Titanium Dioxide and methyloxicinnimate(a chemical one),it is on the page in ingredients.

Hi,

Both are excellent products. This one is more moisturizing, however while the Shiseido products have hower SPA and PA factors. You'll need to decide which factors are more important. There are also other brands that might provide everything you need and more. Sephora consultants can best help you decide. Hope this helps.

Both AmorePacific and Shiseido work wonderfully for sun protection. I have used both brands, and I truly enjoy both of them. The Shiseido products seem to be lighter in consistency. They work great as sunscreens, but they may not have enough moisture if you have very dry skin. On the other hand, AmorePacific is very creamy without being greasy. I have normal skin, and it does not make my face shiny by the afternoon. If you have very oily skin, though, you may be better off with the lighter consistency of the Shiseido products. For people with normal skin, both products work very well, but Shiseido generally offers higher SPF. Also, AmorePacific is in the natural category in case you want a more natural product.

No, the sunscreen must be applied to clean skin or the ingredients will not penetrate and the sunscreen will not work. It has a chemical sunscreen that works by absorbtion.and dispersion of UV rays.

Hi ! I don't think applying this after foundation would work, since this product seems like it should be allowed to sink in... As far as the texture is concerned, this sunblock might take the coverage (from foundation) away... If you really want to have some sun protection after foundation, why don't you go for powder-type sunblocks in PeterThomasRoth or other brands? Hope this helps!
