love this product
Pros: I have a problem with large pores so I have to be careful what I use on my face. This product is light and it really is non-comedogenic. Also have zinc.
Cons: None

Only sunscreen our family will use on the face. Started out with our son`s extremely sensitive facial skin and we WON`T use anything else. We received samples from our dermatologist and this one was the winner. For those with sensitive skin it can be reapplied without scalding the skin.
Pros: Ideal for sensitive skin.
Cons: Absolutely NONE!

I`m a strawberry-blonde, very fair complected person with sensitive skin. My dermatologist recommended this to me two years ago, and I`ve been a fan ever since. I`ve tried other products (even the Solbar 50) but I always come back to the Solbar Zinc SPF 38 cream. I wear it everyday, all year long on my face, neck, backs of hands and decollate. I noticed a difference in my complexion having less pigmentation within 2 weeks of using this, and I`m still getting compliments on my skin to this day. Its also the only SPF lotion/cream that goes well on top of other skin regimen creams or I can use it by itself or under my makeup. ...and no skin reaction! I`ve converted most of my fair-skinned family to this and I hope they never stop making it!
Pros: Everything; no skin reactions to date, works well by itself, or on top of skin regimen creams, or as a base under makeup. Only cream that has ever made a huge, noticeable difference in my complexion.
Cons: None!!

Cons: Takes a while to sink into the skin but eventually does.

Recommended by my dermatologist. Seems to be doing the job. My skin doesn’t show many signs of sun damage. Plus, I find it provides a nice smooth base over which to apply my makeup.
Pros: See above
Cons: None
