Andalou NaturalsCLEAR SKIN Argan Stem Cell BB Benefit Balm, Un-Tinted SPF 30, 2-in-1 BB Cream & Face Sunscreen with Broad Spectrum Protection, Mineral Sunscreen for Oily Skin, 2 Fl Oz

I've been using for a couple years now, love this stuff. It definitely adds a layer to the products on my face and I can feel it, but my skin tends toward dry so I don't mind it. Doesn't make me break out, smells fine, good ingredients. I really hope they don't ever stop making it.

I mainly got it for the spf. Which I'm happy about being protected from the harmful rays. It's nothing amazing as a bb cream, I suppose since it's untinted. It's smells nice, subtle citrus scent. Not too strong. It his nice ingredients so it makes me happy puttig this on my face instead of the alternative sunscreens. Works well under make up too and as for as oil control, it didn't make me anymore pilfer than usual. It Mattified my skin a bit once I put make over it on its own it's more of a demi matte finish. Not like fake matte but more of a natural matte finish. So it's pretty nice.

I'm very happy with it. I've been changing all my cosmetics in order to avoid all the chemicals and ingredients that are bad for your health and this BB sunscreen got a good rate on the EWG website. It is thicker than others because of the Zinc Oxide (which is supposed to be better for you) but if you put the right amount on your skin and rub it in, it absorbs pretty well and you won't get that white face that people complain about. I have oily skin and it doesn't make my skin feel greasy and I haven't had any breakouts. It helps control oil without any harsh chemicals that dry you out and irritate your skin. It's definitely a better and more natural sunscreen and your body will thank you!

I have a lot of sun damage on my face, so my dermatologist recommends that I use an spf 30 sunscreen on my face daily. I also strongly believe in using natural products and avoid anything with synthetic chemicals, oxybenzone, octinoxate, etc. So...finding a natural spf 30 moisturizer is not an easy task! I tried one brand that smelled weird and didn't blend in easily before discovering this one. After the experience with my last brand, I had low expectations for this product. Let me just say that this far exceeded my expectations!!! The product smells great (citrus-y), it blends in easily, and while it leaves a very, very slight almost white hue to your skin, which is typical for zinc-based sunscreens, it blends in almost completely. I just apply a tinted moisturizer over the top to give my skin a little more natural color, but that isn't really necessary...it's just something that works for me! And so far, it seems to work, too. I've spent quite a bit of time in the sun this summer, and with this product on, I haven't had any issues with burning or further sun damage. In fact, I think my sun spots have lightened a bit (not sure if that is from this product, but it could be as I haven't done much different). You do have to re-apply for it to work, though. You can't just put it on in the morning and expect it to last all day. I'll be a loyal customer of this product!!

I've purchased several Andalou products in the past and been very pleased. I was hoping this would be a nice moisturizer with a good SPF in it. And it is...but it is SO THICK. As others have said, it takes a bit to rub it all in. You need the tiniest amount, which is nice, but it does not go on easily. I feel like it causes a lot of drag on my skin as I'm trying to get rid of the white glow. It's super effective, and once rubbed in I rarely need any more, but I don't know that I would purchase it again.

This Argan Stem Cell Benefit Balm SPF 30 in NO way lives up to it's description. The description on Amazon clearly states "Argan stem cells are the stars of this multi-benefit balm with sheer, broad spectrum protection" yet this product went on WHITE and would NOT blend in. I guess the 20% Zinc Oxide on the label should have given it away but I trusted their description. I literally had to wash it off my face and put on a different spf because I looked so weirdly ghostly with this product on. I used many other Andalou products and absolutely LOVE them so I am so disappointed that I apparently am not able to return this product. A big waste of my money, sad to say. And now I will have to resume my search for a truly SHEER spf 30 face product for this naturally pale caucasian female.

I’ve been using this product since 2014 and I love it. Once rubbed in, it doesn’t leave a white cast. It helps control oil and leaves my face so smooth. There is a light, fresh scent but it isn’t noticeable. I use this daily and blot excess on the back of my hands. My skin looks young still (I’ll be 40 later this year). I love that it’s a mineral based SPF and it has a good EWG rating. I use this under make-up and it’s a good prep. I also use it when I’ll be outside a lot during the summer and seldom burn thanks to it.

Thus far, this product does not help with oil control, it is very difficult to blend- even more so than traditional sunscreen & to the point I am tugging at my face to smear the product all over, it leaves a white cast, it takes forever for my skin to absorb (I tried patting it in gently so as not to tug, but because the consistency is so thick, it just doesn't seep into my skin nicely like other SPF face lotions), and it's greasy feeling- my skin looks incredibly shiny immediately after using this product, so oil control? maybe after it FINALLY sets in, it may help control oil throughout the day, BUT because of the white cast it leaves, I can't go around looking like Casper the friendly ghost, so I always have to use other products- to put color back in-so it is difficult to tell whether it DOES really help with my oily skin OR if the combination of products I'm using along with this "BB Cream" (i.e. primer and mineral powder), help keep my face less oily. Nevertheless, my forehead and nose bridge begin to get a bit of a sheen to them after a few hours, although... my face doesn't FEEL as oily later in the day when I use this product, so that's good, I guess...bottom line...I probably won't be repurchasing this...
