The product does not feel greasy, nor does it make my skin break out. I've tested it in my garden in full sun for 1.5 hours (didn't reapply) and I didn't tan, nor did I burn. Even though I am using TCA and Glycolic skin peels (see my other reviews for product info), I have not noticed any unusual dryness or peeling with this product--I thought that the zinc oxide would dry out my skin, but it hasn't.
I think this product is definitely worth the $$, and I will continue to use it until I find something more effective that costs less.
7/7/2014 ** UPDATE **
Well, here it is a year later and after trying a couple other types of "sheer" zinc/mineral-based sunscreens, I am still faithfully using Elta MD UV Shield SPF 45 Oil-Free 7 oz. on a daily basis. I recently participated in a 4th of July parade. Roughly translated, this meant that I walked 1.5 miles for 1.5 hours in 80 degrees of full sun with no coverage other than a narrow bandana and my sunglasses. Afterwards, I relaxed (again, in full sun) along the street to watch the remaining parade events for another 40 minutes. When we came home, I showered and examined the damage, because surely the midday sun took a beating on my sweaty, most likely very sunburnt face. Unbelievably, I didn't even have tan lines from the glasses and bandana! Please note that I was also wearing my daily Almay SPF 15 foundation. However, I used to wear this foundation without any additional sunscreen in my garden and saw noticeable color after about 30 minutes, so I am 100% sure that the sunscreen is what saved my face.
The price on this product ranges quite a bit from season to season. At this point I am no longer looking for alternatives, so I'm keeping it in my Amazon cart and will stock up on the 7 oz. size whenever I see that the price has gone down (which it often does in the summer).
Pros: When used in the recommended amount, it protects skin well from the sun, prevents sun-related pigmentation, isn't excessively oily after application, has a smooth/non-sticky texture, is suitable under foundation and/or powder, absorbs well, and is unscented.
Cons: Has a significant white cast (while this is not an issue for me, it would likely be problematic for darker skin tones), is a bit pricey since I use it daily and go through a lot, and is ever so slightly drying.
For reference, I am a 34 year old woman, whose skin is combination (generally oily with dry sides and jaw), very sensitive, acne-prone, and quite light in tone (MAC shade C1).
