Paula, I have been reading your books and buying your products from the last decade. And this is the first review I feel absolutely compel to write. The Ultra Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 is THE BEST SUN PRODUCT EVER. It is truly perfect. It goes on so light and unobtrusive. It dries fast and leaves no wet mess that always borders the danger of getting into eyes. And the high SPF number allows me staying out long stretches of time without worries of reapplication. It is absolutely fantastic. Keep this kind of innovation coming. I will be shopping at Paula's Choice for a long time to come!

My husband rarely applies sunscreen. I was constantly having to remind him. Since I purchased this spray on sunscreen for him; he has been applying it daily! I've even been using his because it's so easy to apply and so much faster than having to rub in and blend the lotion/cream types. It's very light weight and a sheer spray, not greasy at all. I would love to be able to buy a bigger bottle to refill my spray size.
—Teresa M.


LOVE the new spray sunscreen, for myself and for my kids. It's fast, it's not messy, it's easy, and it doesn't leave them with white streaks where they didn't rub it in! I've tried the few other brands that make a spray, but either they're heavily perfumed or too messy. This is the product I was seeking; I'm stocking up!
—Laurie W.


I really love the Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 sunscreen spray. It goes on so easy and really does feel weightless. It would be nice to have the facial SPF creams made into a spray like this as well.
—Krista S.


I am so in love with Paula's Choice Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray! Thank you so much for creating this product. It is impossible to find a spray sunscreen by a company that doesn't test on animals, so I am so happy! I am going to buy a ton of bottles. I use this sunscreen on my body much more than I did with lotion because of the difficulty of application. It also makes touch-ups throughout the day much easier! I just keep the bottle in my bag and reapply every few hours. Thanks so much for creating a light sunscreen for acne-prone skin!
—Jessica C.


I've been trying your new Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Suncreen Spray for the past 10 days. What a wonderful product! After using Paula's Choice products for years, I have my favorites, but this one now tops the list. I'm a melanoma survivor & have been using sunscreens religiously ever since. But, none of them was truly comfortable on my very oily skin; not even Paula's Choice Essential Non-Greasy SPF 15 Sunscreen. I actually prefer a higher SPF for daily use on my light skin. Your wonderful new SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray is absolutely perfect: Easy to apply & true to its name.
—Daisan T.


I just love your Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray!! My foundation goes over it beautifully. God bless and thank you!
—Linda A.


I just wanted to let you know how much I love your new Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Spray and Almost The Real Thing Self Tanner. I received them last night and couldn't wait to try them out. The SPF 30 spray feels like nothing at all and the self tanner gave me just the right amount of color and dried quickly! Great products!
—Eileen F.


I really like this stuff. It's brand new and I've ordered 4 bottles already! It's so light and absorbs very easily...not greasy at all.
—Jennifer K.


I just purchased the Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray. What a fantastic product!! So easy and quick to apply, absorbs effortlessly, and leaves my skin with a silky matte finish. It is almost unbelievable that this is SPF30!
—Denise T.


I love the Ultra-Light Sunscreen Spray. It's so easy to use & doesn't feel sticky. I've tried other clear sprays & they all made my skin feel too dry; this one seems to "glide on" & leaves no visible residue. A winner for this 60 year old grandmother!
—Ellen S.

The best sunscreen
I've used Paula's excellent skincare products since discovering them four years ago, and I consider them the best I've ever used. The new Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Suncreen Spray is no exception; it's by far the best sunscreen I've ever used. I am very fair with extremely oily, breakout-prone skin, and I could never find a sun product that offered enough protection without feeling greasy and heavy. This spray is light as air and truly does disappear without a trace on my skin! Now I can cover my arms, upper chest and back with sunscreen and I don't even know there's anything there. No breakouts, no greasy mess, nothing! Sun protection and high levels of antioxidants to boot - could it get any better than that? I used to wear long sleeved shirts in summer to protect my arms - those days are gone for good. As amazing as Paula's other skincare products are, she's really hit it out of the park this time!!!
—Lisa H.

Great for the whole family
Paula, please sell this by the gallon! This is the best sunscreen on the market and my whole family uses it. Not greasy or smelly, quick to apply over squirming kids and doesn't cause my face to break out, I can't say enough about this except you need to sell it in larger quantities! My only wish is that someday you'll make it waterproof...
—Janelle

REALLY GOOD
I would rate this as a "5". It is certainly a great product, residue free lightweight application and comfortable to wear. The average mark is due to the extremely higher cost of this product compared to most other sunscreen products in the Paula's Choice collection. It looks like Paula's Choice formulated a product that is darn near PERFECT for very oily blemish-prone complexions, then marketed it in a SMALLER container for a MUCH HIGHER cost. As Paula B. regularly describes in her publications, liberal application of sunblock is necessary in order to receive protection. Given the smaller quantity and higher prices, I believe some customers will fudge on application in order to economize. Hey Paula! Thanks for the GREAT product! Try keeping it competitive with the other products in your line!
—Amy

weightless finish SPF 30
This product is as awesome as the reviews indicate! I've never used anything like it before and I'm so glad I ordered it in time for my Caribean vacation :) I won't be wasting time rubbing in goopy lotions/sprays. My only worry is that the rest of my travelling companions will want to use it too (and I only have one bottle!)
—charlotte fata

Great Product
This is the only sunscreen my husband will use every day! He says he can't even feel it, which is so important when dealing with a stubborn man who hates to use products!
—Veronica

There should be a prize
There should be a prize for products like your Ultra-light Weightless Finish Sunscreen Spray and Barely There Sheer Matte Tint that so elegantly protect skin from sun damage.
—Cindy

Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Spray
Excellent sunscreen that spreads and absorbs easily. Application is quick, making reapplication convenient. This product has proven to be highly effective (personally) with intense, extended sun exposure. Great job!
—Ryan

This Works!!!
I have oily combination skin, and bought "Essential Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 15" before. I didn t really like the product since it still felt greasy to me. So I didn't really use it. When I saw this "Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray", I decided to give it a shot. Yes! I'm glad I did. Now I have a sunscreen that works. It's silky smooth, matte finish, Great coverage. I can list so many more. Looking for, REAL non-greasy sunscreen? THIS IS IT!!! Thank you for a great product!
—Akiko

Highly Recommended
I live in Istanbul/Turkey and got the product only in 4 days without ANY problems. And this really is the best so far and it really is true that you are like wearing nothing at all.
—arda

My holy grail!
I have never been able to wear sunscreen before this. No irritation, no smell, no grease. Simply perfect! If I'd had this years ago, I wouldn't have sunspots now!
—Julia Z.

Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spr
I used Paula's Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray for the entire 10 days of our trip to French Polynesia - where the sun was brutal! There were times when I couldn't reapply as often as I should have, but I got only very mild sunburn on the tops of my shoulders. Add to that the fact that it's odorless, dries immediately, is undetectable on your skin...it's the best sunscreen product I've ever used!
—Cindy

New Spray Sunscreen
This product was wonderful at first, w/the ease of appication; but both my daughter and I broke out in a rash from it. Very disheartening to say the least. WE both use the SPF 30 and the pure mineral suncscreens w/no problems. What could be in this product that would cause such a re-action. Very disappointing.
—Arlene Kucinski

Sunscreen
Your new spray sunscreen makes it so easy for me to apply sunscreen all over before going outside. I never miss a spot!
—Erin

Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spr
As an fair/oily skinned Westerner living in Thailand your Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray is a godsend product. I can now use a serum treatment, a sunscreen, and a Ultra mat finish foundation and the look is lovely, not heavy and doesn't feel layered at all. This product truly is weightless on the skin.
—Janet

Fantastic!!!
I'm in love with your skin products. This spray 30 SPF lotion is so light and easy to apply and reapply. There isn't anything else on the market with this coverage, weight, spray feature and price. It just adds a long list of 'Paula's Favorites' in my book! Thanks.
—Robbee

wonderful product
I have dry skin and this product is EXCELLENT since I can wear under moisturizer without feeling heavy. Never stop making. I have been with Paula since the beginning and no disappointments and I look much younger without spending a fortune. Many thanks!!! NC karen
—karen bauer

Jennifer V
I wanted to love this product. I was looking for a good lightweight sunscreen for my face and unfortunately it caused a wierd breakout/rash on the side of my face after only two days of use. I suspect it is the siloxanes in the product as I had the exact same breakout\rash with Loreal's True Match foundation which also contains high levels of siloxanes. Great product if your not sensitive to the ingredients.
—Jennifer Voros

Best SPF30 Oily Skin
My face is always perspiring in this 100 degree weather I live in and sunscreen usually makes it worse, but not this one. I also apply to back of hands and it's a lot less messy than creams. Awesome product!
—Ashley

So easy and not slimy!
I'm allergic to the sun and dealing with sunscreen used to be so frustrating and time-consuming for me. I love that I can spray this on and go. I never have to worry it will stink or slime my clothes. I was worried that the spray wouldn't give enough coverage, but I don't get hives when I use it so it must be doing a good job!
—Sarah

Not Greasy
Thank you Paula for this excellent sunscreen. It goes on smooth and dry very fast. Even my daughter with severe eczema sensitive skin can take this suncreen with no problem. I tried so many include expensive sunscreen nothing is good enought compare to yours. Thank you again
—Mylinh

not a fan of the spray on sunscreen
On the positive side, it protects well, I have never burned while wearing this product. It is very light weight and absorbs quickly. However, the spray gets everywhere, putting a light mist on nearby surfaces no matter how careful you are. There isn't much in a bottle for how much it costs - it goes fast. I wanted to like this product as I am in love with so many other Paula's Choice products, but this one is not one I will be re-ordering.
—Staci

The best, esp. for families
This is the product that keeps me coming back to Paula's Choice, and I have recommended it many times. Lightweight, very quick to apply, and the perfect sunscreen for squirmy little kids. (Don't spray their face, but everything else can be done instantly with a few spritzes.) We live at altitude and our little boy is very fair--we go through tons of this. I'll second the recommendation to provide this in a bigger refill bottle!
—Sonia Simone

Best Packaging Yet!
Ardent fan of your skin-care products but been wishing you had a higher SPF rating sunscreen & tinted moisturizer, like Neutrogena's SPF70 & SPF85. & preferably more ophthalmologist-tested sunscreens extending from the current pure mineral, skin recovery sunscreens & sheer matte tint that can be used around the eyes. Nevertheless I'd like to give a thumbs up for the rest of Paula's range!
—Lynn

Perfect sunscreen
Please don't ever stop making Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray! I have fair skin and burn very easily; this is a lifesaver when I have to be in the sun. It absorbs completely and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. My daughter and I even use this on our ears when we aren't wearing hats...it gets into all those hard to reach spots and gives excellent protection. Love it!
—Chris

Almost Like Wearing Nothing At All
After years of trying to love the look & feel of mineral sunscreens as much as I love the idea of them, I have given up and couldn't be happier. This spray applies like a dream on my normal/slightly dry skin and is the closest thing to wearing nothing that I have ever found in any formula - with or without minerals. If I didn't need water-resistance for my summer sports, this would be my #1 choice year-round for both face & body. TIP: when applying this indoors, I always spray it into my cupped hand to keep the fine mist off the floor and countertops.
—Katherine

Amy
This is a great product. I have oily skin and am prone to break outs. Many sun blocks encourage breakouts, but this one doesn't cause any adverse effects. It seems a little slick, if not oily at first, but once it drys it feels very soft and protecting. Once I apply make up and a little powder there is no shine at all. I am interesed in the new higer SPF version. I am buying some now to try.
—Amy

Great for kids too
I've bought other spray sunscreens for myself and my two young boys and they either come out of the bottle as a stream of white mess or they make the kids 'itchy' after they dry. This product does neither and I can actually get the product on them quickly and effectively before we leave the house. Thanks so much for this product.
—Jen

Ms
Feels lightweight on my face under makeup. I wish it would also come in a bottle made for squeezing into the hand for face application.
—Jan

Spray-on just isn't for me
The sunscreen does a good job but I don't think the spray format is for me. It feels wet going on and sometimes drips from the bottle while applying. After it dries on the skin though you don't notice it at all.
—Tracey Wright

Favorite Daily Sunscreen
I love this as my everyday SPF. It works well after my Skin Balancing Cleanser and Toner. My skin feels protected yet not layered. I have also had not one negative reaction!
—Katie

Like wearing nothing at all!
My cheeks are dry and my t-zone is normal-combination. My skin feels SO comfortable. Like I'm wearing nothing. I love this in the summer when it gets hot. Best I have ever tried.
—Suzanne Rosen

Great stuff
This works really well for extra protection. I'll layer it over the Non-Greasy spf15 if I'm planning on a long day outside. No breakouts!
—David

great product...packaging however...
This will get a five star rating when the pump has some texture to it for traction. My finger was wet when I applied this morning slipped off the pump. Nearly sprayed myself in the face with it instead of my arm.
—Casey

Great :)
This product is great. It sprays nicely, it's easy to rub into skin, it doesn't leave your skin feeling oily and it leaves a very, very light natural fragrance on your skin. I agree with some of the others when I say that the only 'bad' thing about it is the cost. It's a small bottle for the amount you pay. However, I see now (after I have purchased it) that it has gone down $4.00.....
—K

The best for face & neck
Doesn't sting my face. (I use your mineral sunscreen around my sensitive eyes.) Also doesn't crease in lines on my neck or pill on the back of the neck. Great stuff!
—Lynda

Confused??
Was something else put in the 2 bottles of this suncreen that I received? It was greasy, didn't 'soak in', and sprayed unevenly. Did not like AT ALL.

My kids & I love this product
My kids hate all other sunscreen and ask for me to only put on this product. I am not surprised since it's the only one I like to use daily on my body since it doesn't leave any gross feeling on your skin or white film. It just disappears into my skin. We love it! Would love a higher SPF version but am delighted that it's at least SPF 30.
—Wendy

The Best
For runners, the SPF30 in spray as well as the SPF55 in lotion are what we ve been waiting for for years... very water resistant ! Thanks, Paula !
—Ginette

Messy spray
I think this sunscreen is best used outdoors because it's an oily, messy spray, even though I sprayed into my hand. Drips down sides of bottle and onto floor. Has a clean smell that reminds me of the beach.
—Elizabeth

This sunscreen is the best!
I absolutely love this Paula's Choice sunscreen! Every other product out there (and I've tried them all) irritates my son's skin and makes him itch. This spray feels so good on. It is lightweight and best of all -- no irritation or itching. We've been using it on the lake all summer long. Just wish you had it in a larger size.
—Jennifer

Finally a weightless sunscreen!
I have tried so many sunscreens that claim to be weightless. This one feels like nothing on! Joy!! I spray it into my hand, then rub it on my skin. It goes on and dries fast. This is sunscreen I can wear every day!!
—Tricia McConnell

Awesome
This and your bha products tie for the best stuff out there in my opinion. This sunscreen is PERFECT. It's like fabric softener for your face. I have tried a lot of paula's sunscreens and this one is the only one i'll ever buy again. Non-greasy, and truly barely-there. Please don't ever stop making this.
—Alvin

Paula should know better
All of her suncreen products contain Oxybenzone that is a MAJOR irritant for sensitive skin. Disappointing from an "expert". Customer Care: Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with this product. It is truly a wonderful formula and feels like nothing on the skin. Paula has not found that Oxybenzone to be a known irritant through her research. You can read more about this by visiting the following page: http://www.cosmeticscop.com/sunscreen-ingredients-zinc-oxide-titanium-dioxide.aspx . If you still wish to avoid this ingredient our Pure Mineral Sunscreen or Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing lotion with SPF 15 may be excellent choices for you. For additional assistance, please contact our Customer Care team.
—KVO

Perfect sunscreen for the face!
I love how lightweight yet effective this sunscreen is! Very easy to apply, doesn't leave a whitish cast or make my skin feel like it's not breathing. Also, it doesn't get gummy or streaky when I put makeup on top.
—Ann V.

stained clothes
This product has a wonderful, weightless feeling and is very convenient to use because of the liquid formulation/spray packaging. It has, however, stained more than one article of clothing when I have sprayed it on my son's neck. I have a second bottle of it, but have hesitated using it as I don't want to ruin any more clothes. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. We will be contacting you directly with a personal response regarding this matter.
—Kimberly

Is Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray suitable for blemish-prone skin?
Although it is impossible to state with certainty that someone will not break out from a sunscreen, the texture and finish of Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray are very unlikely to cause such problems. Oftentimes what causes breakouts from sunscreens is either the occlusive active ingredients or thickening agents used to suspend them and create the product's texture. Ultra-Light Weightless Finish SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray contains no thickening agents and its active ingredients are less likely to trigger or exacerbate blemishes.
