I've use the Skin Recovery one, which is the same formulation, and I love it. I do however use a heavy moisturizer underneath on my drier areas (cheeks, under eyes, nose), and this is quite perfect since this is enough on its own everywhere else. It never irritates as many sunscreens do on my face, especially around eyes. I bought this one for my husband as well, as the whole MENS line only seems to be suitable for oilier skin? Is dry skin not as much an issue for men? This feels great on his skin anyways, and I have hereby finally convinced him to use a sunscreen - as this doesn't look like one I suspect! Ha ha. Thank you Paulas Choice.I do not like this product at all!
It is very shiny! I cannot use it around my eyes/ eyelids without getting red and swollen eyes. I do not know if this is because the product during the day migrates into the eye or if it is because some of the ingredients.
in addition to this, the product is very often balling up into small whie balls on the skin and just looks weird.
I would like to try the one for dry skin but im afraid that i will have the same result and i do not feel like spending that kind of money for another product like this.
It does work well on the hands however.

To begin with the texture of the product is completely different to that of the Skin Recovery spf. This is more fluid and oily. Once applied the finish is completely different as well, it leaves a greasy appearance that has nothing to do with the Skin Recovery. To me this seems like a different product, although well, it is not... because the ingredient list seems to be the same.
Despite this I wanted to give it a chance so I used it for 4 days, at which point I decided to stop because my face had started to break out by day 2 and now it was unbearable. I must say as soon as I stopped this product and went back to my usual Skin Recovery spf my skin began to clear. I had not changed anything else in my routine either.
So there is something that is different between these two supposedly identical products, and whatever it is it just doesn't work for my skin at all, so I'm back to my Skin recovery spf.
I gave the product 3 stars because of the ingredients, which are great, but I'd give it 0 stars because it broke me out really fast.
