During the flights the cream comes out of the bottle. And it is a waste of money especially for those who fly a lot. However I do like the product. It is a shame I lose about 5% of it every time I fly.

Perfect for oily skin; does not leave any whitish residue behind; blends and absorbs in the skin great.

I wanted a lightweight sunscreen to apply in the mornings and there is no residue left behind with this! I use it as my moisturizer for daytime and it not only leaves my skin feeling hydrated but I can feel confident knowing that I am protecting myself against sun damage with SPF 50. The sun in SoCal is so intense and I distribute it evenly throughout my face, neck and ears. Love this!

This is the ONLY sunscreen that I have been able to continuously use on my face without a breakout. I have tried many 'face' sunscreens and I still end up with pimples, but the Solar Defense Booster does not irritate my skin or clog my pores. I love that I can wear it alone or mixed with my foundation. I have recommended this product and will continue to do so.

I use this product mixed in with my moisturizer. I use the same moisturizer for the day and night. If its a sunny day and I will be outdoors I mix a little bit of this product into my moisturizer and apply to my skin. on days when I am working and in doors all day I do not use the block. It gives me options when to use sun block.

I have struggled to find a product the protects my skin from the sun but doesn't leave it feeling layered or cause a lot of breakouts. I have been using this product since I have tried the sample. It doesn't cause breakouts at all or feel like a layer of icing is on your face and it protected my skin from the sun for long hours. The reason for not giving it 5 stars is because with it doesn't do it's job when water gets on it even with just a slight bit of rain on my face and it does leave my skin oily even while using matt moisturizer with it.
