I like this because it does not cause you to be shiny (I have oily skin). Very sheer even with multiple applications throughout the day. I use the spf 70 and 85 on my face - I am going through a series of peels that have alpha or beta hydroxy acids and I need to be extra protected. This is not as chalky looking on dark skin as other sunblocks I have tried, but you still need to apply in a thin layer just to make it easier to blend in with your skin.
