I am currently using Tazorac, a retinoid, which casuses hyper-photosensitivity. My dermatologist gave me a sample of the SPF 55 Ultra Sheer and it has been fantastic! Usually, it seems the higher the SPF, the thicker the lotion (and the more likely it is to leave a white film on your skin). Not this one! It aborbs cleanly and you don’t even feel it! My healing blemishes faded and didn’t brown or darken and best of all this sunscreen does not cause break outs on my super-sensitive skin.

I really like this sunscreen. The UVA/UVB protection is so important, and most sunscreens only block UVA. The lotion goes on feeling like a regular greasy sunscreen, but it disappears rapidly into the skin and it truly doesn’t feel greasy at all once it dries. I am not sure how or why, but I swear it also evens out my skintone. I do recommend applying a light coat of your regular moisturizer around the eyes first, as I find this sunscreen can sting when put on the delicate skin under the eyes. I made the mistake of slathering it on over my eyelids once, and I wouldn’t recommend that you do that. I found when I sweated, the sunblock crept into my eyes. Ouch. So just don’t apply it over the eyes and you should be fine. Anyway, great product.

My education I’m a biochemist and I was also a physiology teaching fellow in a university. As such, I have a fair amount of knowledge about chemistry, the body, etc. When my dermatologist recommended this sunscreen, he cited some studies about how SPF15-30 in practice washes off or wears off and doesn’t offer adequate protection. He recommended at least SPF 50 and specifically this product.
My experience using this sunscreen is that you don’t even know you have it on. It doesn’t have a detectable smell and it is very sheer. However, this sunscreen stays on, is waterproof and doesn’t block your pores. It guards against BOTH UvA and UvB and the Helioplex technology is a hit with dermatologists. I highly recommend this product and think it’s totally worth the cost.
