This is probably the lightest feeling SPF product I've ever used. But, it does leave a small amount of shine on the skin... just a touch. I am starting to get a slight bit of irritation on my upper cheeks (my most sensitive area). I am not sure if it is this product or just using "any leave on" product. That area of my face is very unpredictable. I've noticed more of a white cast today, but I am pretty cracker white... so it looks pretty good on this old honkey...LOL
So far, no clogged pores that I can see. It isn't hard to remove, but you need some type of make-up remover/oil due to the high silicone content. It is nothing like the Shiseido SS's in terms of hard to remove. I will report more in a few days
