Perfect choice for daily sunscreen
Review by Raluca

I like this sunscreen formula and the fact that is large sized bottle, which I can use for several months. I like to apply it under my make up (which is also Paula's foundation Barely There Sheer Mate) and it goes perfect with it. It feels light, easy to use and it's the perfect choice for my combination to oily skin. Thanks Paula! (Posted on 20/03/2011)Product Rating -
Why have you decreased the bottle size?
Review by Susanna

I have used this product for a couple of years and I noticed recently that you have decreased the bottle size and I guess you have not decreased the price. Why this change? Otherwise this is a good sunscreen for combination skin and I will continue to use it.Customer care:We appreciate your comments and will gladly share them with our team. Due to the overall cost increase of the formula it was our decision to decrease the size by an ounce however we have not modified the formula in any other way. We hope you continue to enjoy the product. (Posted on 30/11/2010)Product Rating -
really great, but not perfect
Review by Alexander , denmark

i think the it could contain more antioxidants, it only contains c-vitamin as the only antioxidant, the titel of the product says: with antioxidants'': there by more than just one antioxidant.. maybe some of the listed plant extracs also act as antioxidants?Product Rating
and the fact that i contains parabens, eventough i have read about the on the site, i dont fell 100% safe about them...but otherwise an almost perfect sunscreen, not greasy, just really smooth and easy to spread over skin. even though it is unscented it has a really nice smell, fresh and ''flower-like'', Customer Care: We appreciate your comments and will gladly share them with Paula's team. For more information about the ingredients of Paula's Choice products please contact our customer service department. (Posted on 24/10/2010) -
Perfect for oily skin
Review by Jessica

The first high-protection product I've ever used that felt light on my skin, and stayed that way. Can't recommend highly enough. (Posted on 19/08/2010)Product Rating
Apply liberally to face and body at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. You must reapply this immediately if you perspire. This is not meant to be used when swimming. May be used on children, for use on children under six months, consult a doctor..

How can I reapply sunscreen to my face without ruining my makeup?
When starting all over isn't convenient or feasible, it is wise to carry a pressed powder with sun protection, such as Paula's Choice Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15. The method of application is to first absorb any excess oil or perspiration with an oil-absorbing sheet or a plain tissue. Then take a powder puff or sponge and apply an even layer of the powder on your entire face, including the eye area. Use light, downward strokes and blend at the edges. Using a brush will give a sheer, less powdered look but any sun protection you net will be minimal.
