Dear Paula, This SPF 15 Daily Mattifying lotion is literally my godsend! I have been looking for this my entire teen and adult life. I had tried everything for combination and oily skin, and had even tried a jar of Kiehl's $54.00 face cream, but everything made me break out! I know how important moisturizer is, and SPF, so this product hits the mark over and over again. Thank you so much for giving me back my perfect skin for the rest of my twenties!
—Siiri S.
THANK YOU for Skin Balancing Mattifying Lotion! Sun protection without the oil slick, plus antioxidants, it's perfect.
—Lisa P.
Paula, your Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion with SPF 15 is truly a dream come true for me. I have very oily skin, and prior to trying this product, I dreaded my morning sunscreen application. Now I don't mind it one bit! In fact, I love it! This product is light, non-greasy, and absolutely perfect!
—Jessica
This is a wonderful product! My makeup goes on more smoothly and stays put all day. I love the matte finish and the fact it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. THANK YOU!!!!
—Peggy C.
I love the new Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF 15. It's just genius. Despite how everyone says to wear sunscreen, I've never been consistent because I hate having stuff on my oily skin. This product feels light and keeps my skin from getting shiny. Plus with the antioxidants and stuff my skin looks a lot better. Softer and sort of glow-y. And it hasn't caused me to break out at all. I use several of Paula's products but this has to be my favorite so far.
—Donna M.
Thank you so much for your Skin Balancing Mattifying Lotion SPF 15 with Antioxidants. All the problems with sunscreens such as greasiness, stickiness, feeling "coated", etc. are a thing of the past. Please don't ever discontinue it!
—Celia D.
This is the best moisturizer I have ever used!
—Paula M.
This is the product I was hoping for, my skin is protected without getting too oily. Time spent powdering my nose has been cut drastically! I'll be ordering this one again.
—Yasmin
Another fantastic product. Kudos especially for the innovative packaging.
—Jessica S.
Thank you Skin Balancing Mattifying Lotion SPF 15
This is by far my favorite moisturizer. Besides its being SPF 15, I especially like the mattifying effect. I don't wear makeup, and now I don't even need applying powder. Thank you!
—Daixin
Exceptionally helpful product
This product has really been of great benefit to me. Not only does it provide sun protection, it has actually helped clear up my skin, perhaps because I no longer have to use more irritating sunscreens. The SPF 15 is great for fall, spring and winter. I'm hoping for an SPF 30 by next summer!
—Carla Geovanis
Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF 15
This is the only sunscreen product I've ever tried that I actually like putting on my skin. It feels so silky, so smooth, and refreshing. I've tried so many different sunscreen formulas on my oily skin (including Paula's Choice) but none of them were truly satisfying, until this one. Thanks Paula, you've really outdone yourself this time!
—Siobhan
Excellent Product
The product itself is a wonderful lightweight fluid lotion that applies smoothly and vannishes into skin. I have extremely oily blemish-prone skin and wear it without any "slick" residue.
—Amy
Perfection
This product is (literally) sheer perfection. Until this product came along, I didn't wear sunscreen because I either I looked like I spread Vaseline across my face or the sunscreen itself was too irritating. This product does neither, and in fact gets it just right in every arena. Thanks.
—Dustin
Simply THE Best
I was reluctant to try yet another sunscreen that claimed to be okay for use on blemish-prone skin. So glad I did!
It's the best. I love to wear it, and, thus, I wear it every day because it feels great on my face.
It is the best sunscreen product I've ever used, and that's saying a lot!
—Mo
not good under makeup
This product is okay. It works well for most of my face, but if I use it under my eyes it seems to counteract my foundation/concealer. My makeup does nothing for my dark circles when this lotion is worn under it! If I use a different moisturizer under my eyes, my makeup does what it's supposed to and covers my dark circles. WEIRD. So now I need two different moisturizers. Bummer.
—Serenity
almost perfect
This is wonderful. Increase the SPF for those of us over 40 with discoloration issues and it would be a best seller!
—Teresa Appleseth
Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion with SPF 15
If you're looking for a mattifying product, this isn't it, although it is an excellent moisturizer with sunscreen. My nose is just as shiny and not "mattified" in the least until I apply powder. This product does leave a nice finish on the remainder of my face.
—Anne
What's not to love?
A moisturizer, a mattifier, and a sunscreen, all in one bottle with a nice little pump for under $10/oz. I think that says it all.
Paula, please don't ever discontinue this!
(The reason this didn't get 5 stars is that I would like to see it in a little larger size, maybe 4 oz.)
—KansasKate
SKIN BALANCING DAILY MATTIFYING LOTION
I use the Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion in the morning before my make-up. My make-up, even eye make-up, stays put for 18 hours.
—REBECCA
Awesome!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is another wonderful product that works as a light moisturizer, sunscreen and primer, makes my skin feel smooth and look matte. I used to hate to put sunscreen on my face. Not anymore. I can't go without this and the Mattifying Antioxidant Serum.
—Emily Colangelo
My favorite face lotion!
The daily mattifying lotion is the best stuff ever! After trying a sample packet, I couldn't wait to order & receive the full size. This stuff really works & keeps me shine free all day. I LOVE IT! Don't change a thing!
—Bonny
Mattifying?
Very moisturizing, but not at all mattifying. It started off shiny and moist and my oily skin made it more uncomfortable as the day went on. I would recommend this to my 67 year old mom though, it would really help her dry skin.
—Carla
It's okay....
Although my face didn't break out, by mid-morning my face was an oil slick. I expected more, but hey... I do live in humid Florida!
—Teresa B.
Kudos
I thought this would be too drying for my skin but I tried the sampler and found that it keeps my makeup fresh all day in hot weather. It's a primer/sunscreen all in one and has earned a permanent place in my summer skincare lineup. Look forward to a moisturing version for the winter months!
—Nikki
Not for me...
I was so excited to try this product, as I love many of what Paula has to offer to deal with oily skin. It seems to be the answer to other people with oily skin. However... this product did NOT work for me. It seemed to produce more oil on my face faster than if I was completely bare faced. I was really disappointed! I love all of her other products, just not this one...
—Anne
Contains oxybenzone!
Which is not good for the skin:

So disappointed.
Paula has written an extensive article concerning the safety of oxybenzone. Please contact custserv@paulaschoice.com to be sent a copy of this article.

Dear Paula,
I just wanted to let you know how much I love all of your products, especially this sunscreen! I have been using the Skin-Balancing products for over a year now and my skin looks so good I can go without makeup! Thank you!
—Molly M.
love it
Hands down, the best, least greasy SPF product I have ever used. I love it. My only complaint is that I wish it was SPF 30 or higher.
—Lila
Excellent but could be even better
I love the light feel of the sunscreen and the anti-oxidant packed formulation. But it would be better if the SPF could be increased to 30.
—Kelvin
Why not use mineral sunscreen in this?
Why is there chemical sunscreen in this product? Mineral sunscreens are used in the daily moisturizing with SPF 15 and are much better for oily skin.
—N
Terribly Tight
This product left my oily dehydarted skin feeling terribly tught and uncomfortable the whole day. V disappointing.
—Arlene
Nice Moisturizer
This is a nice moisturizer but I don't notice any mattifying effect. My skin is still shiny and greasy-feeling a couple hours later.
—Sharon Imgrund
perfect moisturizer with SPF!
I am in my late twenties, and I have been dealing with acne since my early teens. However, I have never found a product that performs like Paula's!!! With the one step cleanser, the BHA lotion, the extra strength blemish lotion, and this moisturizer, my face has never been so blemish free, soft, and radiant. Thank you Paula, and please never stop making these wonderful products!
—Nini
Excellent daily sunscreen
This is the best sunscreen I've ever used, hands down. I have combination skin, and during my pregnancy it was very blemish-prone. This is the only sunscreen that didn't cause more breakouts! Great for combination skin, not too drying or too greasy. And it doesn't leave the strange white cast that some sunscreens do under makeup. Love it!
—Sara
Packaging is terrible.
The clear hard plastic lid cracked in no time at all during regular day to day use.
—Catherine Lou
love this
i love this skin mattifying spf15 product. it works wonderfully. my only compliant is the packaging, i wish it were a tube without the pump. the pump stops working well after you are 1/2 way through and i had to cut the tube open and dipp into it that way and i still have 1/3 left. packaging that allows you got get most of it out would be better. other than that i love this for breakout prone skin along with the 2% bha gel
—Nicole
I wish I didn't like ths so much...
I wish I didn't like this so much, given that it's the most expensive of Paula's sunscreens! I've tried all of them and this is my favorite for my oily skin. It feels lighter on my face, and while I don't find it "mattifying" it doesn't make my face shinier, as other sunscreens tend to.
—Bethany
I (heart) you, Paula!
This is my holy grail of SPF moisturizers! I love that it smoothes on easily and doesn't leave an oil slick in its wake. It does not break me out or give me black heads. I use 8 pumps per day, and the bottle lasts a long time. Love, love, love this stuff!
—Patricia

I NEVER imagined finding a product with SPF that moisturizes without being tacky, and heavy. Thank you for making my dream come true, I love this lotion.
—Alison Voita
