I also have dry acne prone skin and this product is the only thing I have found that doesn't make me break out and feels like I am wearing nothing all day. It's worth the money!

Yes this product is non-comodegenic meaning it doesn't clog your pores. Very important for acne prone skin.

Question
Allergic Reaction?
Has anyone ever experienced an allergic reaction to this product? I usually use Boscia's Oil-Free Daily Hydration SPF 15. I wanted a heavier SPF, so I took this sample home to try.

I seem to be having an allergic reaction. I have tiny red spots all over my face. There's a heavier concentration around my hairline. It burns, ever so slightly, and a few of the bumps are raised up. I took a benadryl, so I'm hoping it will be fine in the morning, but I was curious if anyone else had a similar reaction. It's only on my face and the sides of my neck, I hypothesized that this was what caused the reaction, as nothing else in my routine had changed. I included pictures as this was a little hard to describe.

My skintone is very fair and the only sensitivity I have ever noticed was to a Vitamin C treatment I had done in a spa. I did work out today, so I did have a little perspiration around my hairline. I honestly, hope that no one has had an allergic reaction to this lotion.

I have pretty sensitive and reactive skin -- I have not had any adverse reactions to this product (or any PTR product). As another commenter said, maybe your skin is reacting to the sunscreen ingredients? I would suggest looking for a moisturizer that does not contain chemical sunscreens (Octinoxate, Octisalate, Meradimate, Oxybenzone, Avobenzone).

I usually react to everything and this one hasn't bothered me. Maybe it's the SPF part of the product?

BOTH are oil-free. I use the daily in the colder months - starting October thru April. Switch to this for the warmer months. My skin has always broken out and these 2 are the only sunscreens or moisturizers that do not have that effect. hate the price but have been using them for going on 3 years.

Compare Ingredients! The Sheer is superior as far as components. Therefore, I haven't used the Daily, sorry.

It's a very light cream. A little more moisturizing than a gel.

Question
Compare to Kate Sommerville?
Has anyone tried this and also the Kate Sommerville Serum SPF? I love the Kate Sommerville but also use a moisturizer, so using this would eliminate my moisturizer. Can anyone compare the two products?
