Does anyone know if this sunscreen is good to use after having a micro co2 procedure?

I am not sure what micro co2 procedure is but my Dr uses it on me anytime they do a procedure such as microdermabrasion and cryosurgery for small skin cancers. I will never be without this suncsreen, I have very sensitive skin and it is wonderful.

I do everyday. I let the moisturizer absorb completely and the apply the sunscreen. After that I use a CC cream over it. The CC cream also has sunblock. I have not been burned on my face so I believe the integrity of the sunscreen is still good. I have combination skin. I do reapply the sunblock in the late afternoon if I am going to be out in the sun again.

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 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.

It is a lotion, so there is an unctuose quality when first applied, but it soaks in fairly quickly. What I notice is that the zinc oxide leaves a slight bluish cast on the skin, so the face looks a little pasty when wearing the sunscreen. Not a real issue, since the point is protection.

This peel is for people who are used to peels especially 10 or 15 percent strength glycolic acid. If you buy this peel PLEASE follow the directions to the TEE!! Do not leave the peel on any longer than listed initially and use a good sunscreen..... preferably spf 30 or higher or you will burn terribly in the sun. Also the longer you leave on the peel, the more it will frost and the darker the treated or frosted areas will be. If you decide to leave it on for 3-5 min before rinsing, take time off from work or you will have weird stares from people!

I use the 40 daily for years with no issues. You do need to let it absorb. A good alternative if you don't mind a light tint is Skinceuticals 50 SPF but that is more expensive.

I WISH! I ended up going to another line Olay microderm abraision , with a new brand I never heard about before "Murad" at Sephoria. They make some for dark spots and some for wrinkles. I bought both. In two weeks, in has made a wonderful improvement and I have even tried to keep track of comments, but had to lost count. This product is just a moisturizer to me

I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating. I am moderately fair skinned, and I often get a bit of a tan following prolonged exposure while wearing sunblock, which is normal for me and I don't mind. I think that did happen a little with this, but I didn't find that unique to this product, and it also could be partially due to my own failure to reapply per the directions, as I often go longer than the labels recommend before reapplying. The same company also has a "thinksport" product, which I have not tried, but sounds like it is specifically for sweating. I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating.

I ordered a fair-sized container around 3 months ago. I used it topically for about a month and a half on seborrheic keratoses, then took a break. I had good results, but when I went to use some of it again about a week ago, it seemed to have lost some of it's oomph. I will be ordering more, bur plan this time to order a smaller quantity. For my purpose, a little lasts a long time, and I don't think it keeps well long-term... just my experience. Also, beware of storing it in the dropper bottle. The little I had left was in a dropper bottle. Just a few days ago, the rubber bulb swelled up and actually burst!!

I had IPL (intense pulse light) Laser....the sun spots on my face turned almost black and then peeled off. I was told not to pick at it as is flaked off, but to use a littly polysporin on it

I think this would do great under make-up. It goes on very easily, you don't need much, no white residue and it has a very nice smell. I am not familiar with the two you mentioned, but I've tried dozens of sunscreens, and hands-down Thinkbaby worked the best for me. I buy a bunch of bottles each spring for that summer. I also use Kinesys sunscreen spray, when needed. You wont regret buying either one. Promise!!!

I have only used it a few times, but I did see immediate results. I use it for melasma as I am out in the sun quite a bit, and it definitely gives a nice glow. I also have very sensitive skin and that has not been a problem. I would think the results would be more significant on darker spots. I found it well worth the money.

I love this sunscreen. With that being said, yes, it will leave a bit of a white cast on your skin and be a little sticky at first. It really isn't too bad though.

I use the light therapy a few hours after the microdermabrasion treatment. The skin tends to be super tender immediately following the microdermabrasion

I agree with what Ms. Lis De La Marina said below. In my opinion, this is one of the best facial sunscreens out there for sensitive skin (or any skin type, really). Plus, it doesn't have all of the chemicals a lot of other sunscreens have, which is wonderful!

Absolutely. Our kids have very sensitive skin so we tend to apply a light layer of cetaphil before applying sunscreen. This is a very nice sunscreen- goes on smoothly without significant white residue.
