Great mosturizer and sunscreen

Great mosturizer and sunscreen. A little goes a long way. Tube does have a tendency to squirt too much out. I actually don't squeeze the tube anymore- I can tap enough out to apply to face and neck.

I love DDF products and this glycolic gel. It's very similar to something my dermatologist used to sell under his own practice's label. I have combination skin that is oily in the t-zone by late morning, especially on warm days, and can dry in other areas.

The gel should be used after you clean your skin. I use it for a few reasons - to help prevent breakouts, help peel off and get rid of any current breakouts (it accelerates the skin cell turnover on my face), and also to help fade any sun damage or freckling. It also is a great anti-aging product of fine lines. It's great to use year round but it is very, very important to wear sunscreen, even if you have overcast climate or days. The UVA/UVB rays can still come through the clouds. The glycolic in general will help slough off old skill cells faster, exposing new skin, which needs protection!

I love products. It is my guilty pleasure in life. I go through different ones, trying which are best and I have had the DDF 10% Glycolic gel in my collection for years. I want to note that 10% is a higher amount of Glycolic, so you might want to try it on a smaller area the for the first time. It may make your skin pink, but that will fade. Don't put it on sunburned skin, etc. and don't use it right after a Glycolic or Salicylic Acid peel or use it with any other similar product at the same time except wash and toner, which will dry (DDF and other bands have these). I have found my skin to be more sensitive in the winter months. It was explained to my by one of my aesthatician friends that this is because the skin is thinner due to the cold. So, I am more conservative during that time. With that being said, they recommend healing during warm/sunny months and peeling during the more overcast/colder months to prevent further sun damage and exposure.

DDF has a great sunscreen. I am not using it at this time. I use Elta MD 45 sunblock that is transparent daily because of the strength, lack of scent, it's a thinner lotion and soaks in my skin easy and leaves it glowing. Also, a little bit goes a long way and the cost is reasonable for the amount that I get. (Elta has one that is tinted too - I don't use that unless I go out to the beach or boating and will be without any makeup, but it can be used daily if you want to have a sunscreen that replaces base makeup.)

This product has been good to me over the years. I am glad they are still making it. :)

I love the matte finish of this sunscreen.  It is my go to in lieu of foundation all summer.

This product has a lot of five-star reviews for a reason.  It is awesome.  I have very sensitive skin, so my dermatologist recommended a sunscreen with a physical (instead of chemical) blocker.  The last chemical sunscreen I tried burnt my eyes so badly I almost gouged them out with a fork. Wrinkled, cancer-ridden skin seemed preferable to that agony.  For a zinc-based sunscreen, it is very easy to apply.

I am so happy I purchased. I am a fan of Goodal products, I use the Mild Protect Sun screen and it's almost gone. I purchased this accidentally as a replacement and I love it more than the cream! Essence, for those who don't really know, is supposed to be liquid form and light. It provides moisture and smells great. I hope it really is SPF 50. Will be purchasing again.

I prefer physical sunscreens (zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide), but they usually leave a strong white cast on my face. I have medium yellow-olive skin so the white cast is really noticeable. This sunscreen is great because the slight tint really does eliminate the white cast. The tint is definitely neutral. Anything with a slightly pink undertone will show up super pink on my skin and this sunscreen blends in pretty good. It's not a perfect match, but with a little bronzer, it's a great daily base. I love the quality of the sun protection, too. I feel sufficiently protected when I am outside, although I do reapply every couple hours or so. This sunscreen is perfect for daily use. I will absolutely repurchase this. I have used Elta MD screens in the past and I have been happy with every product I have used from them. I actually prefer this sunscreen to the Asian sunscreens that are popular at the moment. If you like physical sunscreens over chemical ones and you have trouble with white cast, this sunscreen is definitely one to look in to.

This by far the best mineral sunscreen I have ever used. I had my face laser resurfaced and have to wear sunscreen, and a big floppy hat. All sunscreens I have tried leave a white cast on my face or leave my face greasy (I have normal to oily skin, with large pores). This stuff has a slight flesh tint, it goes on so smooth, fills all my imperfections, and NOT greasy at all. My face is perfectly primed ready for make up. This is by far the best primer/sunscreen! In the AM I wash my face, then use a toner that does not dry out my skin, apply COOLA mineral sun care unscented matte tint, lastly I apply my make up. Before I go to bed, I wash my face, then generously apply an oil free moisturizer. It is expensive, but I found it online at Walmart for $27.00. I am almost 48 years old and wear Bare Escentuals medium beige foundation. COOLA packaging is very confusing, it all looks very similar, I think some negative reviews ordered the incorrect product, there is no scent to it. Make sure and order the UNSCENTED MATTE TINT mineral sun care SPF 30.

I love the way this product easily sprays upside down and any direction you need when applying.  The fragrance smells great and the feel of the sunscreen is not sticky and tacky like many sun products.  The product has great ingredients which makes this nice to use and re-apply. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a luxury feeling sunscreen at the pool or beach.

I LOVE THIS SUNSCREEN. I do not use it on my body just my face. I spray directly on my face small section by section (though I am rethinking as apparently one can inhale the particles and that's not good). I love that there is no white cast whatsoever. my search for a no white cast mineral water resistant sunscreen ends with this one! Glad it contains antioxidants as well! I do not like applying it like they suggest because it is very watery and I feel my fingers absorb the product before it gets on my face and I end up using more. this is only 40 minutes water resistant though wish it were 80 minutes, but oh well I will take it as sunscreens with no alcohol, essential oils and other irritants, 100% mineral, water resistant and no white cast are very very few on the market. did I mention great value for the cost as you get a whopping 4oz!

I received a sample of this from my doctor, and then purchased a full-size bottle from them. I LOVE it. It's the only sunscreen I will ever use moving forward. I'm here to buy another bottle because it's about 1/2 the price of what they charged at the doctor's office.

My doctor recommended this sunscreen after I told him that nearly every sunscreen I have tried breaks my facial skin out without fail. I could handle a BB cream with a light sunscreen IN it, but he said that really didn't matter and wasn't sufficient, He explained that it's not the sunscreen itself in other products that was breaking my skin out. It was a chemical in the mixture that my skin must be sensitive to that was causing the breakouts.

He said this was an all natural formula that should not break my skin out, and he was right. I have been using for a couple of months or so and it has never broken my skin out. I've tried the tinted version and the non-tinted. They both work great. The tinted one has a subtle tint and doesn't discolor your skin much or anything. It looks pretty dark when you squeeze it from the bottle, but it glides on lighter than that.

These products also have hyaluronic acid for extra moisturizing effect and they really smooth your skin out. I can use this as a bit of a makeup primer on an average day and it helps my makeup apply more smoothly. I love that this is very light weight. It's not greasy, sticky, or goopy. It's very smooth. I highly recommend this sunscreen!

This product was recommended by my dermatologist.  It is smooth and functions like a moisturizer as well as a sunblock.  Love it!

I use this as my only facial sunscreen. I wear minimal makeup to the beach, but this is the best sunscreen I have found for my middle aged, fair skin. It is a little sticky when first applied, but just do not touch it for a minute. It never bothers my eyes and I just spray it right over my lips too!  My daughters-in-law saw it in my beach bag and laughed as they use it too and it seems like it is marketed to a younger user

This is the best by far, not only a facial sunscreen but also moisturizer for under make-up. I have tan skin and did not find it ghostly as one reviewer put it. I use retin-a which makes my skin extremely sensitive. I have had problems finding a sunscreen or even moisturizer for that matter that does not feel like it is burning my face off, even ones made for sensitive skin. This has no sting what so ever, which is just amazing to me. I cannot recommend this enough - I just love the way it feels on my skin. I will never use anything else.

Love this product!
Not only does it protect your face with a high SPF (70+), it does not sting, feel excessively sticky or greasy, and it's good for your skin.
I haven't used it long enough to see if it improves the sun damage, but I use this daily and love it.

One caution- it does hold out to sweating and swimming, but hurts if sweat drips into your eyes.  Use caution.

I love the serum and tinted moisturizer. The serum has a lovely fragrance and goes on very nicely.

The packaging is beautiful for just some sunscreen but it brightens my day when I use it! Medium moisturizing quality, high protection.

Love this product for it's SPF properties. I layer it under a sunscreen or daytime cream with SPF in the spring, summer, fall and under a slightly thicker product for the winter. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin feels soft.
My picky husband even loves it and he is hard to please because like many men they are impatient and can't fathom doing more than just one step for a moisturizing routine. He loves that it absorbs quickly and has no strong scent!
