How greasy is this sunscreen when used on the face?

This sunscreen is quite greasy, but I use it on my face when I play golf and it gives me good sun protection.

I probably wouldn't use it as an everyday facial sunscreen. Since its mineral based it creates a barrier on the skin rather than soaking in. Its not greasy per-se.

Not too greasy! It also depends on your skin type and the weather where you live

I haven't used it on myself, but I use it omy my daughter daily (on body and face). The texture is very creamy and rubs in easily, unlike other mineral based sunscreens. It provides excellent covereag, although it is heavier than things like Neutragena face. Haven't tried the face one yet, but that could be an option for you.

I did use it on my face. It didn't seem greasy, but since it's white you do have to spend a few minutes to make sure it's rubbed in good.

Not as geasy as some. It doesn't clog my pores, but as a person who likes to use makeup to cover my melasma, I don't prefer using I under my makeup. It is a great physical sunscreen that works great when I'm exercising outdoor. DOesn't sweat off easily. ;)

The sun screen is thick and can be a a bit difficult to put on. You have to work it in a bit. My son (under 10) has some fun with it (making faces as such). I would not call it greasy so much as to call it thick. It is one of the few sun blocks that will last a long time both in and out of the water. The zinc oxide in the sunscreen is what makes it so thick.

It comes on as a think white cream....I wouldn't call it greasy but more of a paste. Your face has a nice white tint to it after you put it on

Not too bad. I would not use under makeup. It is the only sunblock my girls can use. All others burn thier faces when it gets wet.

Not greasy at all. All you need is a very small amount and then I add a drop of water to it. It can be used around the eyes too.

It is a tube rather than a bottle and it simple says "Moisturing Sunscreen".But it works very well on the face. No greasy residue.

I use mine exclusively on my face. I actually have really sensitive skin and despite the fact that this feels kind of greasy, it hasn't led to any more breakouts.

I have used this on my face and it's a bit greasy with a white cast. It fades a bit after awhile, but not that much. The best thing is that it's rated as low risk by the Environmental Working group and their cosmetics and sunscreen database in terms of scary ingredients on one's skin. I have looked for years for a low risk sunscreen that doesn't look white and the truth is that there isn't such a thing. So, what I've been doing is mixing this (on my fingertips) with a tinted low risk sunscreen, Marie Veronique Organics' Everyday Coverage. That eliminates the white cast and it's less greasy since the Everyday Coverage isn't that emollient. I have used this on my face and it's a bit greasy with a white cast.

Not at all. It IS a cleanser. It's a cleansing oil. Don't worry about it leaving a greasy residue - it won't. Just apply on a DRY face, work it in nicely and then rinse.

This product is more on the watery side. It is absorbed very quickly and does not leave your face looking shiny/greasy.

I use it on my face and body. It's less greasy than most sun screen, but it's still sunscreen. If you're looking for an every day sunscreen, I prefer the SPF 30 Neutrogena because it's less greasy, but this stuff is pretty good too.

Initially it does feel greasy and a bit whitish but disappears after a few minutes. It is the only sunscreen I can use on my face & neck that does not cause a rash. I live in FL & golf everyday and never get sunburn when using it.

I use this product on my hands, shoulders, arms and neck. I did not apply this on my face. I use MD Solar Sciences Mineral Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 50 on my face and had no problems applying my makeup over that.

I've used it all over my face and neck and it seems to provide protection from the sun. This is unlike any sunscreen products I've used as it actually has a very mild fragrance.

I am fairly tan from working outside all of the time. It blends in well. I mix it with a regular moisturizer. It actually has a nicer feel than the plain white. Not greasy at all. I am female.

No, it isn't greasy. All other lotions I have tried leave a greasy sort of film, but this one feels creamy instead, and even that absorbs very quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized, but not at all greasy.

No, not at all. And the sunscreen in it doesn't give you a greasy look or feel either. It's pretty great. :)

No. I use a lot on my skin and I find it much less greasy than other oils. I like it because I can use it around my eyes and it does not irritate them like other oils do. I apply liberal amounts at night and leave it on. I find it soaks in quickly and is no problem.

My skin is oily and it absorbs right away. It leaves my face soft but not greasy.
