What a wonderful sunscreen
I have older combination skin with rosacea and I am very pale. I have been using your Extra Care Moisturizing Sunscreen spf30+ for a year now.I cleanse with your balancing cleanser and apply Paula's 2%BHA gel, then the sunscreen and I am done-and I still get told all the time that my skin looks beautiful.

Too Shiny on Face; Good on Body
This Extra Care sunscreen is so shiny and greasy looking on my face! I have used other SPF30 moisturizing sunscreens that don't do this. However, I tried it on my arms and it absorbed well, so I'll keep it for use on my body.

Best Sunscreen On the Market -- Period
This sunscreen contains three essential components that most out there do not; a.) mineral ingredients (FINALLY, No irriation!) b.) antioxidants c.) Truth in advertising; no so-called "spf 60". I've tried them all and this is simply the best there is if you want safe, effective, flattering protection.

Sunscreen ingredients
I am salicylate sensitive. I bought Extra Care Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30+ thinking it would be ok. You dont have any sunscreens listed on salicylate free site. Customer Care: We are sorry you were misinformed. None of Paulas Choice sunscreens are salicylate-free due to their containing one or more plant-based antioxidants or soothing agents.

I'd rather be shiny than burned
I've used this product on both my body and my face. While it is true that I experienced some "shininess" initially, my face did absorb it. I've also worn make up over it with no streaking/sliding/running. And at the end of the day, if I am a little bit shiny, at least I know that my skin is protected. To me, that is of much greater concern than a little shininess. Keep up the great work and the state of the art formulations!

Try This When Using on Your Face
The key to using this marvelous sunscreen on my face is as follows: apply liberally, let it absorb for 30 minutes, blot with tissue and then if you wish, dust lightly with powder. The result on my normal to slightly dry skin is beautiful. Plus, it feels so light: as if I have nothing on. (I'm saving a 5-star rating for an all mineral SPF 30 formula that looks and feels this good.)

Best Body Sunscreen Ever!
I use this daily on my body. After it is absorbed, my skin remains very slightly moist to the touch, and with a very slight sheen that looks young and healthy. It feels light. Not at all heavy or tacky. ADDED BONUS: It is highly transfer-resistant. It leaves less residue on my black yoga mat than any other sunscreen with minerals that I have ever used!

better than estee lauder
Shiney and greasy, surely you jest. This new mositurizer is perfect in every way and spf 30.WOW! My skin is a little on the dry side and this makes my face look great. 15 years ago,I bought Estee lauder face cream and at that time I was paying $50.00 a jar. This is a fraction of the price and 10x's better. Very grateful, Paula, thanks!
