I received a sample of this sunscreen with a sephora order many months ago and loved it so much I shelled out the $55 for a small bottle. I use 1 pump for my face and it is more than enough...the key is to rub it between your hands and "warm" it up then "roll" it on your face...dont rub it in like a normal lotion. It is a physical sunscreen so I believe it is mean to sit on top of your skin. I use it over my light moistuizer (Hope in a Jar) and it works wonders. I have also used it alone (like today) but I prefer the feel with something light under it (would be perfect for a summer moisturizer/spf). There is a slight cool feeling when its applied but nothing that I really notice or that lasts any length of time. I would repurchase this sunscreen because its the only one ive found that is not heavy and does not break me out.

What is a physical sunscreen and also what is the SPF on this? Sounds like what I may be looking for.

I was told that physical sunscreen sits on the skin rather than being absorbed like chemical ss. I like that idea. Also, its an spf 18...here is the link

The smell isn't as good as the original formula without sunscreen. I did find this product to be hydrating enough though. It does protect against the sun, and it does sink in well. I had no break outs when using it either.

Me too. Even though I'm really into cellcosmet now, I still use Skyn Iceland's lip repair (it has an awsome taste! Kind of like vanilla or something) and the Cooling face mask. I have some of the face wash left for a rainy day when I run out of my cellcosmet gel cleanser!!!

I use a moisturizer under my skyn ss but in the summer I did not and it was enough hydration for me. In the winter I get really dry so this is only applied after Hope in a Jar.

Love the "glow" it gives my skin. Very happy...wish it wasnt so $$ but I only use 1 pump a day so the value is great.
