St. Ives Clear Skin Lotion - 3-in-1 SPF 25 Face Moisturizer for Acne Prone, Oily, or Combo Skin, Lightweight Sheer Daily Face Lotion with Tea Tree Extract & Witch Hazel, 3 Fl Oz

Most of the non-5-star reviews for this sunscreen were due to the product not being sealed correctly (though it was for me). But ignoring that, this product deserves a perfect 5-star rating. I have tried many facial sunscreens, and this is by far the best one I have ever used. Here’s why: 1. Unlike most other sunscreens, this one doesn’t just provide your skin with SPF, but moisturizes it too. 2. Other sunscreens tend to be oily or gritty which prevents them from fully getting absorbed into your skin and causes them to leak into your eyes and sting them. This sunscreen does not have that problem due to its smooth texture. Since it's not greasy, it is also unlikely to cause acne breakouts. 3. Since this sunscreen is not tinted, it does not stain clothes — and since it gets fully absorbed into your skin, it doesn’t leave a white cast either (and I have brown skin). So, best of both worlds! 4. Some sunscreens are drier which makes them hard to spread, especially over facial hair, but this one is more moist which allows a smaller amount to cover much more area on your skin. It also easily rubs into the skin under my eyebrows/mustache/beard. 5. This sunscreen smells pleasant and natural, whereas many others smell overpowering and too much like chemicals. 6. The price is an absolute steal. Other SPF moisturizers tend to be at least three times the price of this one (per fluid ounce). It’s even cheaper than many non-2-in-1 products (i.e., sunscreens that don’t moisturize or moisturizers that don’t have SPF). 7. Ethically, this product is vegan (no animal ingredients) and cruelty-free (no animal testing), which is a non-negotiable for me! All things considered, this is the most perfect facial sunscreen I have encountered. The only way to improve it would be by switching to a zero/low-waste plastic-free container, or at least switching to recyclable plastic (the tube currently has a “do not recycle” symbol on the back). Also, this product is travel-sized, which is good, but I would like the option of a larger size too, which would reduce the packaging and price (per fluid ounce) even further (better environmentally and financially). Just buy this sunscreen right now. You won’t regret it!

My favorite facial moisturizer, the smell of great, it’s light and doesn’t job well. Price is amazing, it doesn’t leave any residue, and it absorbs well. It’s smooth and a little bit goes a long way — it also doesn’t have any oily sheen/glow.

Like how light it feels and glides on the skin. Not oily. Not sticky. Dries quickly. No scent. Only need a little on the face. Good price for the size. No break outs. Would buy this again.

Love this product. I use it when I go to bed and I feel like my skin is super moisturized and the tea tree/witch Hazel helps clear any issues I was having the day before. Absolutely love this product and will always buy more! I only need a pea size for my whole face and the bottle lasts a long time. It also smells good but not too fragranced.

It's very lightweight, does not leave an oily feeling. I had been buying this in the store till they stopped selling it of course luckily I found it here!! It helps get rid of the redness in my face once you get in a routine of using it. There's not a big smell to it. And it's easy to use and leave my face feeling hydrated and smooth. The cream is not thick at all and not watery like a lot of them.

I wanted something that would not make my skin feel more oily while also having SPF. It’s hard to find a moisturizer that isn’t slimy or oily if it has SPF in it, and in that regard, this was good. However, it smells so strong and the fragrance lasts all day. I even smelled it on my shirt the next day. I am fairly sensitive to fragrances, but often when products bother me as I apply them, the scent usually fades after a couple hours to be not noticeable. I smelled this all day long. Wish they’d kick that down several notches. Lastly, I’ve worn other products all summer and for the last several years. I wore this a couple times recently, including one day I was outside most of the day but nearly always in the shade. This was about average compared to the rest of my summer outings. Wearing this product was the first and only time I’ve gotten sunburn on my face in literally years, after using lots of different products. So maybe beware and plan a back up or to reapply more often than you think you need it?

I know it’s a lower SPF, but any little bit helps compared to none, which is often what I was doing on my neck and chest. Most sunscreens are just way too thick, my skin feels like it can’t breathe and I can’t even think about reapplying again later because once was nasty enough. I absolutely love this solution, it goes on so smoothly, plus it has a light and pleasantly fresh smell. I will be keeping an eye out for a larger bottle in future, this one lives in my purse and goes everywhere with me now!

I’ve been using this stuff now for about a week and man I wish I found this sooner. This moisturizer is like on my skin and the absorption is great. I don’t feel like my face is overly greasy and the smell is quite light. I was a little worried that it would smell like sunscreen but it doesn’t. I notice that it performs all day which is great I don’t have to reapply throughout the day. I would highly recommend.
