I've been using the Anti-Sun Damage SPF28 & like it. I just picked up the Glow SPF 15 moisturizer & an eye gel b/c they were on sale @ Ulta. Was just wondering if there was anything else really good in this line?? TIA!

I really like their Garnier Naturals skin cleanser line, decent stuff. :)
I've used Pure and Fresh (they have one called Soft for sensitive skin).
But I haven't tried the Anti-Sun Damage or Glow.
I might have a look for that.

I've been curious to try it- the packaging is so delicious!
However, I'm wary of one of its main antioxidant ingredients: lycopene.
There are mixed studies. Under a microscope, it has properties which should offer natural sun protection, but other studies show that it can actually be oxidative when used topically.
:\ Any thoughts?

It's very silky in texture (I don't really even have to use a foundation primer w/this!) and smells fresh/clean. The SPF is also full spectrum & the price is great. I haven't used it enough/consistently to see real results yet, but I'm trying to fade some freckles I've got going on, so I guess we'll see. It has fab reviews on MUA though!

I really need something with a good SPF... so I might just have to try this!
Do you find it heavy? or is it on the light side?

I'm curious about this product (anit sun damage SPF 28), too. How does it wear on your skin? Does it dry to a matt finish or shiny one? I have trouble finding sunscreens higher than SPF 15 that don't look greasy.

Its really lightweight, but I only use *one* pump - I think anymore would start to get heavy. The amazing thing is, even in this humidity, it doesn't look or feel greasy - I would say the finish is more of a semi-matte - no glow, but no not completely matte either. HTH you gals! I really do like this :)

I went out and bought it after reading this thread (even though I just bought a Neutrogena Healthy Skin SPF 45 moisturizer that works great) and so far I'm pretty happy with it.
Katie's right, it sort of dries semi-matte. It doesn't feel heavy, but it doesn't completely sink in.
