It says matte, but I start to shine almost immediately after applying it, and it feels oily as I put it on. I won't be repurchasing. I have yet to find a good mineral sunscreen for my oily face:-(

This is truly a matte formula. Personally, I hated it - it left almost a white/milky residue on my face and it looked horrible. I opted for the non-matte formula. I have combination skin and live in Colorado, so it's pretty dry here - that might be the reason it didn't work for me.

This is by far the best sunscreen I've ever used! I highly recommend it to anyone who has oily skin.

I have fair skin and ordered the lightest shade. For summer I think I'd prefer a little darker.... medium/light, or whatever it's called. Also, my skin is 75 yrs old, so I'm diluting with a little plain moisturizer to look more natural.

liquid makeup is oily for my skin. I love the matte makeup.. it has great coverage and feels like butter going on.. I have used it for over 15 years.

This is sunscreen formulated SPF 45...i have light skin tone and on my skin it's sheer...it definitely does not have an orange tone, but not a yellow tone either...I'm not sure if it would have a light pigment on medium or dark skin as i have light...i love this powder!

Completed to other cheap sunscreens it doesn't feel greasy at all. It does soak in to the entire body pretty quickly and feels pretty good. It is a pretty thick sunscreen compared to others and takes a little more rubbing in but is well worth it.

I've never used that product. I use both this for daytime, with Prevera on top. I especially use this if I am out in the sun because of the SPF 30. I have been using this for about a month. I have not had to go and ask for Botox! I am 57 next week and everyone tells me I look in my early 40's! I do, however keep myself in shape and wear a hat while gardening or out in the sun for any reason.

This is a moisturizer. There is no greasy feeling afterwards. I would recommend a clarifying moisturizer.

I made some sunscreen for my daughter, using coconut oil...and 3 scoops of Zinc powder....and it wound up being SPF35 so yes. It's 10spf...maybe even a bit more...but not much

The new formula of Solar Protection is extremely greasy. I used to use the older product (in a white and beige tube) and I used to love it. The new formula is awful so I switched to Tizo 3 and love love love it. Not greasy and perfect under makeup.

I have used the daily facial moisturizer for years, and have recently switched to this one a few months back. I couldn't be happier! First, it has SPF 30, which is important to protecting your skin. Second, it dries so fast! The daily facial moisturizer (in my opinion) was "wet" feeling for a while. I had to wait a long time to apply makeup. This one is no where near that. It dries without drying out my skin. I still feel as though my skin is moisturized. Also, it dries to more of a matte finish, where the other was shiny. I really like this product and do not intend to go back to the daily moisturizer ever. I have used the daily facial moisturizer for years, and have recently switched to this one a few months back.

Hi, the dark sunsation very dark. I recently purchased the 32 oz. bottle of dark sunsation. That's how much I love this product. I have tried alot of self tanners is this lotion is by far the best one I have used. Enjoy!

I had used the serum under sunscreen. Since the serum does not leave your skin oily it feels great under sunscreen. I use the serum instead of the moisturizer and it works great. Very happy with the product, have been using for 3 months now and see great results.

Very simple. "Cover" will give you much better coverage. That is why I use C23. I've tried all kinds of products of all kinds of brands on the market; liquid foundations, tinted moisturizers, tinted sunscreen lotions, compressed powers, loose mineral powders..... C23 was the winner. I love its high SPF, too!It is more suitable for 40+ cuz it has tendency of "very moist feel". If you are under 40, I recommend "IOPE" C23 by the same company.

I've used both the Sensitive and the Baby formulas on my kids and they are essentially the same. So I just buy whichever is cheaper. That said, they are both quite greasy and leave a streaky white film behind unless you rub, rub, rub it in well. That's because it's a "physical barrier" sunscreen, rather than a chemical one. It doesn't have the gunk in it that helps it absorb into your skin....which is why it is better if you have really sensitive skin and allergies.

I'm on my 6th jar of this cream. I usually use at night, but being inside during winter season, I will use during day. I don't use it when I know I'm going out in the sun, on the boat, etc. Retinol should be used 1st, and then a good 30% sunscreen for face only, not for all over body. I am 63 years old, and people never believe me when I tell them that. They usually guess in late 40's, or even 50 years old. I love it. That means I'm looking younger by more than 10 years. Love it, and the price is so right. Hope they don't raise it.

I do both. I use a skin serum first (helps heal past sun damage, Repenix Power of Three), moisturize with Aqua Care lotion, put on the sunscreeen, and if I want to look nice, I put on a lightweight Aveeno liquid makeup that also has sunscreen in it. If I'm doing something active in the outdoors, I often leave off the Aveeno make-up and am careful to reapply the Anthelios 60 lotion during the day. It is not really sweat or water proof, so if I'm going to be sweating heavily or being splashed on a river outing, I sometimes switch to a more water proof sunscreen like Neutrogena Sport Face or the regular body form elsewhere. The Sport lotion seems to last longer in all forms of moisture. Hope this helps. I really feel I get longer protection from the Anthelios 60 on less active days.

The picture shown above says "matte". It is a beautiful finish, not a greasy finish like a lot of the sunscreens.
