Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 Sunscreens

Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF25 40ml/1.4ozI have used the clinique city block 25 SPF for a few years now and it is odorless.It is the only sunscreen that I have found that I can tolerate on my face.It does not make my eyes water.I am very sensitive to odors and chemical components of most sunscreens.As far as protection goes, this 25 SPF is just OK.I got sunburned this weekend from being in the sun for approximately 3 hours after applying 2 coats before going out.So you must reapply very often to get good sun protection.The city block is great under foundation or alone.I use the city block and then cover with pressed powder.Great for limited sun exposure.Be careful because the next step up with clinique is city block 40 SPF which DOES have a sunscreen odor and causes eye irritation, for me at least.

This does double-duty for me year-round as a light foundation and sunscreen.I have very fair oily/sensitive skin, and it has never been irritated or broken out from City Block.I especially like that it's appropriate for the eye area because I've found it very hard to find a sunscreen okay for eyes except an Avon product, which they discontinued.I've never gotten a sunburn while wearing it, but under a searing summer sun I mix a higher SPF sunscreen with it like Neutrogena's oil-free for faces, or Blue Lizard oil-free for faces, both of which my skin can tolerate well.By mixing it in this way, City Block still serves as my lightweight "foundation."My skin had an adverse reaction to Clinique's similar product, Almost Make-up, so I hope they don't ever discontinue City Block.Recommended.BTW, I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of companies discontinuing good products all the time!

Not great or amazing!I've used it both in winter and in summer, have to say it is more a winter sunblock, because in summer it melts and makes you look super shiny!In winter it kind of hangs in there a little better, it is heavier than I would like, though it says sheer, lotion has a little tint about it, which I indeed liked because, it subtly conceals any slight imperfections you might have, would work better for drier skins I think.

I have used this product for years, despite it being so expensive. I have tried every "for faces" sun protection product on the market and they all irritate my extremely sensitive skin. Not this one!I use it year-round except for winter, applying it after my red-reducing moisturizer. I like the little tint it leaves, as I do not wear makeup (can't tolerate any makeup on my face). It is the only Clinique product I use;I've been able to find cheaper substitutes for their soap, etc. but no sun-protection substitute.As someone else said, I hope they do not discontinue this or I will be in trouble!

I have combination, fair skin with freckles.I have been using this for about a week and so far, I really like it.I didn't think that I would like the tint, but I do.It evens out tone a little bit and hides small imperfections, kind of like a tinted moisturizer.It dries to a nice soft, sheer finish.It offers good sun protection for me.I had a big outdoor party yesterday, applied it once, and it lasted all day.I didn't burn, even a little, and it stayed put, even though it was 90 degrees out!Most importantly, it has not made me break out!So i will continue to use it.So five stars for now.If it makes me break out, I will revise....

Eco Sunscreen Body Sunscreen

Eco Logical All Natural Sunscreen for Body SPF30+very effective.

Leaves skin very white so not the most esthetically pleasing, but works well.

The bottle seemed like it was not even 50% full upon delivery so i may try another product.

I want to give this a better review because it does do the job, but I'm really not fond of the product. I was looking for something decent that was more natural for my family. I ended up only using this on my toddler because I just couldn't stand the way it felt on my skin. I found it to be a bit on the greasy side so neither my husband or I ended up using it after one use unless we were desperate for it. I would literally have to wipe my son down super thoroughly after every application because of the thick, uncomfortable mess it left on his skin.

I like the odor and it worked perfectly.It is actually so water resistent that after an hour of ocean swimming, the water beaded up on my legs.

It is whitish to apply, and really thick (viscous).I think if an ingredient could be added to make it less viscous, it would be better in my opinion.Nevertheless, it's the best eco-friendly sunblock I've found, so I'll keep using it.

I love this sunscreen.It doesn't get white all over my clothes and doesn't sting my eyes.I discovered it from a surfer friend.It's very water resistant so I feel protected all day.I use this on my face instead of their sunscreen for the face.

This product goes on well and gave me no allergies. However, I still got spots on my hand from the sun, so if you're looking for serious sun protection, this is not it.

Dermalogica Total Eye Care SPF 15 - Diminish Dark Circles

Dermalogica Total Eye Care SPF 15 - Diminish Dark CirclesI actually have the beginnings of fine lines when I laugh and when I smile I notice the lines appear at the outer corners of my eyes.

I also see under the eye looks dry&sunken often if I don't wear eye cream.I use this product everyday to protect the thin skin under my eyes from sun and to make the skin there look moisturized.It helps a lot!I feel naked without it.It actually gives me a moist look which helps the skin reflect the light and brightens under my eye. I know longterm use should improve the elasticity but Im not sure ANY eye cream does that so I use this in the day&am looking for something without sunscreen in the night.Just don't want to spend too much!I don't like anything too thick.This is nice and thin but not watery.I LOVE this cream-really! I keep it in my makeup case and reapply 2-3x a day to refresh when i look tired.It doesn't even smudge my eye makeup.

I had high hopes for this total eye care cream... Well after using for about 3 weeks, I see no difference.

Mary Kay TimeWise Miracle Set, Combination/Oily Skin

Mary Kay TimeWise Miracle Set, Combination/Oily SkinI purchased this Mary Kay timewise day solution kit for a very reasonable price and no question asked, bute when it arrived and recieved the package, for my disgrace, the hole thing has been expired since March 2008 (EXP 03/08). This was a let down mode for me from Amazon service. These beauty products are to be sold in a safe and pertinent evironment for consumer to buy and use. Please! Refer for any information before buying this Kit.

Thank you!!!

Regards.

You can really feel the results the very first time you use these. My pores shrank instantly. My breakouts have hugely decreased and even when I do get my couple zits around my period, they are much much smaller than before. My skin is firmer, smoother, more even-toned. My makeup seems to glide on. The cleanser has gentle little exfoliants in it that don't feel at all too harsh to use everyday. The moisturizer is very light and quenches your skin without leaving any oily or sticky feeling.

I love Mary Kay Products, But I hate the pressure of having to become a consultant in order to buy the products. Anytime in dealing with a consultant all they want to do is pressure you to join Mary Kay. I love the products, but I hate having to deal with the pushy consultants. I received my order in a timely manner and the products were in perfect condition.

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF50 Sunblock Lotion, 4-Fluid Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF50 Sunblock Lotion, 4-Fluid Ounce BottlesThank you Amazon for carrying the small size! I love the 4oz bottles because they are way easier to carry to the beach/pool than the giant 8 or 10 oz. ones, but they are so hard to find in stores. I stocked up here, and will do it again when I run out. Make sure you compare the per-ounce price to places around you... this is not always the cheapest, but if you really want the 4oz bottles you might have better luck here.

California Tan Oasis Bronzer Step 1 8 Oz

California Tan Oasis Bronzer Step 1 8 OzI've had several comments on how good this product smells just wish they'd package it in a tube or something.Bought two of these step 1 & step 2.On one, the plunger never worked and I had to keep switching it out between the two bottles.When it stopped working and was presumably empty, out of curiosity, I cut them open to find almost 1/4 of the bottle was still full it was such that the fill tube for the plunger just wasn't in the right spot to suck up the rest of the lotion.

Purple Prairie SunStuff SPF 30 100% Natural Sunscreen, 5 oz

Purple Prairie SunStuff SPF 30 100% Natural Sunscreen, 5 ozI'm a huge fan of Purple Prarie Botanicals and I commend them for creating a relatively affordable sun protection product that has safe ingredients (and a great Environmental Working Group rating). With that being said, the lotion is just too thick, lacks absorbency, and leaves skin looking ghostly white. Perhaps worst of all is its woody smell that is hard to wash off. I'd only recommend this product to customers who will be applying the product in small amounts.

Pros: Safe ingredients, Affordable relative to other safe products

Cons: Weird smell, low absorbency, leaves skin very white

Complete Turbo Tan Deluxe (Model T65) Professional Sunless HVLP Turbine Spray Tanning System with 1

Complete Turbo Tan Deluxe Professional Sunless HVLP Turbine Spray Tanning System with 1 Quart of Pre-Tan Body Prep Spray Solution, 1 Quart of 12% DHA Sunless Tanning Solution with DARK Bronzer, 1 Quart of Post-Tan Spray Solution, 5 Solution Variety Pack, Spray Tanning Tent Booth, and Full Tanning Accessories KitI read a lot of reviews on this and most were pretty positive so I ordered it.From day 1 I had problems keeping the pressure at the right level.Then while doing a spray tan at my salon the hose blew off of the machine.I had to tape it and keep re-taping it to finish my client.They company sent me a new hose... not overnighted... regular mail.I had to cancel a weeks worth of clients.I used the new hose on 2 clients and on the 3rd client it broke again.I contacted the seller and stated I wanted a refund because at this point I have lost too much revenue and I didn't have the time to keep waiting for new parts.This is not only losing me money but it's losing repeat and future business. The company stated they would give me $89.99 in store credit.I replied back stating this is not acceptable... that there is a 2 year warranty on the machine and it has broken twice and I was purchasing a new machine from a different company.My last response from them states after 30 days they will not refund my money so I can either take the credit or send the machine back... at my cost... and wait for it to be repaired.At this point I'm out the $220 I spent on this machine plus hundreds of dollars in revenue and I have just spent over $400 on a new machine from a different company.Not only is their product cheaply made and not worth the money their customer service is atrocious.

The item was shipped promptly and was "as advertised". We found it easy to operate and are satisfied with the results.

Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 50 with PureScreen-Sensitive Skin-1.7 oz

Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 50 with PureScreen-Sensitive Skin-1.7 ozI have a very sensitive, dry/mixed, fair and easily burned, freckly skin. Live an active outdoor lifestyle in a sunny California and I will attest that this product truly works!!!

I'm pretty anal when it comes to my skin and sun... so I know.

I use it every morning right after showering or washing my face, alone or as a base for makeup, spreading thoroughly all over my skin THAT EASY.

You can use it not only on face but other sensitive areas: ears, neck, bust

It has a very light/non greasy consistence and seems to last couple of hours (but I wouldn't wear it alone to a very tough, prolonged sun-exposure the beach). When I know I will be exposed to strong, long lasting sun I like to put it under my regular sunscreen or apply it often enough to make sure I'm well protected.

I'm so thrilled I found this product and I have a tube in every backpack/purse.

(don't be discouraged by it's small size it lasts 4-ever!)

It works great as a moisturizer, totally doesn't have that "sunscreen-y greasiness feel, look or consistency".

It seems to be couple of skin care products combined in one small tube.

It's absolutely perfect and have a very good price. Protection and hidratation in one product. I recomend it to persons with skin problems.

I highly recommend this product to everyone as everyone truly should be protecting their skin from the harmful sun!I love this one in particular because it is not greasy, yet moisturizes very well, and it never causes me to breakout and I do have quite sensitive skin.This wears well under makeup and feels great!

Really good for those of us that have dry sensitive skin and are prone to sun damage.I found that if you apply it in spots and let the cream warm up with your body temp that it is easier to spread and incorporate into your skin.

This lotion has me a little torn. I'm not really sure if I like it or not. It's SUPER hot for one. If you don't like lotions that tingle, don't even go near this stuff! I literally sat on the couch, and within minutes got up and someone sat where I had been and they starting tingling and turning red too! Overall, I had high expectations for this lotion. I bought it at a local salon and paid double the price it is on here. The lady convinced me it was her best seller. I used the entire bottle once I convinced myself to get my moneys worth and use it up. I didn't get any darker than before when I used a cheap lotion. The bronzer streaked, and no matter how hard I scrubbed my hands were dyed orange. I will never buy this again. Sorry Snooki, I love you but your lotion is a let down.

Banana Boat Everyday Glow Sundial Face Self Tanning Lotion for All Skin Tones 3.4 Oz (Pack of 3)

Banana Boat Everyday Glow Sundial Face Self Tanning Lotion for All Skin Tones 3.4 OzVery impressed with Banana Boat Sundial self tanning. All you have to do is turn a knob to create the intensity of your own tan. I use a lighter shade in the morning, under my make-up and a tad bit darker at night before bed. No orangy mess or streaks. This is fool-proof. My pores don't clog and my skin is soft. I've tried every sunless tanning product starting with Lancombe back in '86. Banana Boat got it right.



Out of the 3 bottles, NONE of them work correctly. The tanner does work when I can get it out of the bottle.

What is the pint of this ridiculous bottle design?I guess you are supposed to "dial in" your desired tone, but the application is a joke.The two fluids (one a tanning lotion, the other a moisturizer base) are separated in the bottle, and you adjust the ratio of each one being dispensed. Nice theory, horrible execution.Inconsistent application, just means I have to manually dispense each lotion myself and "eyeball" the concoction, then make sure to thoroughly mix the two.If you don't premix them, then you get uneven skin tonesand that's embarrassing!

So, you can get by with this if you have a little patience and resilience, but for the more discriminate consumer, you might want to try something else..

Pevonia Lightening Line- Renewing Glycocides Cream (1.7oz)

Pevonia Lightening Line- Renewing Glycocides CreamI saw results from using Pevonia Renewing Glycocides Cream on day one of using it. I applied it at night, and my skin just had this very smooth, glowing look. I did feel a slight tingling sensation from the glycolic acid, but didn't experience any irritation even with using it every night. I feel that people with more sensitive skin might be more prone to irritation with this product, so maybe it's best to start of using it every other day. Also, I was told that glycolic acid makes your skin more sensitive to sun, so I wore a high SPF during the day.

I also have keratosis pilaris or KP on my uppers arms (small red bumps that never go away), and I tried using this cream to see if it makes the KP any better. Since it contains glycolic acid, after 3 days, the bumps were noticeably reduced and the redness was barely there. So a very nice and unexpected benefit!

Beyond Coastal Natural Spf 30 Sunscreen

Beyond Coastal Natural SPF 30 SunscreenMy mother has been using this for about a year now.She's had skin cancer so must wear a sunscreen 24/7.This is the only one she's found in years of trying that she can wear everyday and not break out.



The Beyond Coastal sunscreens are the best. I've never gotten burned when using them for a full day of swimming in strong sun. This mineral based one is a little thicker than the others and leaves a whitish film on skin. Very hard to wash off, so be careful where you get it. But it does an amazing job protecting your skin.

GO!screen Trio-Pack - Natural BrushOn Powder Sunscreen for Kids and Adults, SPF30

GO!screen Trio-Pack - Natural BrushOn Powder Sunscreen for Kids and Adults, SPF30I was ecstatic to learn about this product.Overall, I am pleased but find it is a little hard to apply.It seems hard to get the product out of the tube and I have to push and push the button over and over.I do like that it makes applying in hard to reach places easier around ears, neck, etc.My 6-year old loves it.I wish it wasn't so expensive.It seems to work no sunburns so far.



I was told that I should look into powder sunblock from a friend with albinism, so I was really excited to try it.Unfortunately my first trial didn't go so well.It was difficult to see on my daughter's fair skin, and I didn't get good coverage and resulted in sunburn.My son, who has slightly darker skin, was much easier to apply it on and he got good coverage from it and no burn.I hold out hope that it will live up to my expectations, but I will continue to test it on me and not my kids until I get the coverage thing figured out.I think that the key to this product is when you think you have good coverage, go over it once more.
