Product DescriptionBody GuardTM is delicately whipped and specially formulated with Sebum Sequestering Micro-ParticlesTM to prevent skin from drowning in excess surface skin oils. Lotion vanishes quickly, leaving a non-greasy, matte finish even in hot, humid weather. Perfect for any skin type without leaving skin dry or parched. Simply apply it and within minutes it´s no longer noticeable; no greasy texture, pore plugging, acne or rosacea flare-ups or dripping into the eyes. It´s all about effectiveness, not stickiness! Body Guard is most definitely oil-free and non-comedogenic. But to make things even better, forty five percent of individuals enrolled in comedogenicity testing of this product found their acne improved; presumably in response to a reduction in surface skin oils. After a day in the sun, an 8 hour window exists that any free radical damage or early sunburn/sun damage can be addressed. Consider Body Guard an ideal rejuvenating post-sun treatment after showering, too. Finally, calming botanicals cucumber, chamomile and calendula are lifesavers against harsh elements like wind, sun and pollution. Sodium hyaluronate rescues skin from environmental dehydration.

By far the best sunscreen I have used...
I have oily, acne-prone skin and was particularly interested in finding sunscreen with a high spf rating that wouldn't leave me with a heavy, clogging feeling. Previously, I had tried Neutrogena Moisture spf 15, and while the tint was a nice touch, within a couple of hours of putting it on I always had an oil slick for a face. Next on the chopping block: Oil of Olay Complete Moisturizer with spf 15. I liked that it included an oil-absorbing powder and Vitamins E and C, but it tended to leave a sticky residue. But DERMAdoctor's Body Guard schools the other moisturizers! It's absorbed quickly, leaves a flawless, matte finish, and leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and clean. While it comes in a light, whipped form, it feels creamy enough to be a moisturizer and best of all, it won't interfere with any other products or make-up that you'd want to apply over it. It's so easy to forget you're wearing it! Highly recommended, especially when combined with DERMAdoctor's Tease Zone.Great sunscreen for break-out prone skin
I have sensitive skin and often have difficulty trying new products. I had been on the search for a gentle, non-pore clogging, wear under make-up sunscreen for quite a while, until I found Body Guard. I had tried several of the neutrogena products (particularly the ultra-sheer dry-touch, and the healthy defense) and also a "natural" sunscreen by Keys Soap. Sadly the neutrogena products which were supposed to be non-comedogenic left me with twice as manly clogged pores as before and super oily skin. The Keys Soap product did not clog my pores, but felt very heavy on my face, and did not make a good base for my foundation. I tried Body Guard and I absolutely love it. It dries powder fresh, doesn't leave my skin dry, and doesn't add extra oil. The best thing is that doesn't cause me to have any more pimples/cogged pores than I would normally have. I wear the bare minerals foundations and this sunscreen is the perfect base for the powder.
If you have dry skin or really love your moisturizer, this sunscreen is so light that you can still wear it under a regular moisturizer. It should be applied under/before anything else you are putting on. It does have a sunscreen smell (because...duh it contains sunscreens!)which I like, but if you don't the smell only lingers for about 15 minutes after you apply it. It's a great product and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is having difficulty finding a oil-free sunscreen.
