I've used this for well over a year now - probably two, and I'm just at the end of my tube, so it's certainly given me value for money. It's quite thick, so be aware of that, it has a zinc like texture so that's why its' thick - oh and it's NOT tinted. It does go on nicely though, absorbs well and I feel it does it's job as it certainly protects me from getting burnt and I've tried lots of suncreams that just don't work, and I end up red if I'm in the sun (and apparently I have very "english" skin so I was told today, even though I'm an Australian! Although that would make sense considering I'm sure my ancestors were probably on the boat with the rest of the convicts  ). Despite what everyone says, I've never reapplied this during the day as I feel it still on my skin all day, even though it absorbs and isn't shiny (if that makes sense).
I've never expereinced breakouts from this, but I dont have sensitive skin and its not oily either. There are quite a few reviews on here, if you do a search you will find some as not everyone loves it. I like it simply because I find it works and I get the best protection and the most tried and true on the market (in terms of the zinc oxide ingredient, I mean).
HTH's and Good Luck  |

I posted about this the other week. I was looking for a sunscreen with SPF 30+ and finally found this in the chemist. As far as I knew it was a new product, but obviously not.
I did get a large blind pimple on my chin after using it, but I had been doing alot to my skin at the time so I can't say for sure that it was the sunscreen.
I have used it since and like the other poster said, it is thick, it's just the same as say something like banana boat, but even thicker, just like zinc suncream. It feels thick when you put it on, but amazingly it does absorb and you don't have that awful feeling like if you were actually to apply suncream on your face. I've even worn it under makeup and it was great. You forget it's there and I think it's great. I'm certainly impressed that the main ingredient is zinc. I have some hyperpigmentation that has faded a bit with things I"ve been doing to it, but it never seems to completely go, hence my search for a stronger suncream.
It's not hugely expensive either which is great.
BTW, I'm an Aussie too and we definately need all the sun protection we can get.
