I was a faithful Clinique Dramatically Different Gel user but I wanted something that had some SPF in it. I have combination, sensitive, very acne-prone skin and Boscia seemed pretty promising. it's very lightweight and moisturizing! it does have a light smell to it but it doesn't bother me - I actually find it kind of refreshing but it may be too strong for some. It hasn't made me break out and doesn't make me shiny or greasy like some moisturizers! It actually seems to help tone down my shinyness!

I love the tube - it's purse/travel friendly and I LOVE the hygenic pump!!! It's a little pricey ($27 for a 1 fl oz / 30 ml) but I think it's well worth it. And I love the fact that it has SPF 15 in it!

"Daily hydration with combination sun protection defends your skin against damage caused by UV rays and stress. Willowherb, a unique anti-irritant, helps to prevent sensitivities while Wine yeast and Marine Complex combat against environmental damage.
