Lab Series Daily Moisture Defense Lotion SPF 15, 1.7 oz Travel Size - TSA Approved Face Moisturizer for Men - Hydrating & Sun Protection - Perfect for Gym, Travel & Daily Skincare Routine

I have used this product for over 35 years, it works very well keeping my facial skin very smooth & moisturized after shaving. I highly recommend this.I have been using the same moisturizer for a while now, which I do really like, but wanted to see what else was on the market so I decided to give this a try. I completely agree with a previous reviewer who said this product has an odd odor, which he described as dairy-like, only I will say that I find this smell to be more than a little unpleasant. Perhaps the tube I received was uniquely bad, but to me the scent of this lotion reminds me of expired, sour milk and the only reason I will use the rest of this supply is because of the price of the product.This moisturizer/sunblock seems to do OK with the daily protection I wanted for short outdoor exposures, but to me it makes my skin feel exceptionally greasy by the end of the day, as if there's a thin layer of lightly viscous oil on my forehead, and I find myself wiping down my entire face with a damp paper towel by early afternoon just to avoid feeling so oily. Immediately after applying it does leave a noticeable sheen on your face, so if you are going to take pictures and do not want the appearance of a shiny face you might want to avoid this product.I gave this product a mediocre 3 stars because it did manage to leave my skin soft and smooth after several days of use, but the horrid smell/oily residue-to-price ratio will guarantee that I will not purchase again. I will go back to my Kiehl's Facial Fuel SPF 15 moisturizer, which costs about the same but has a much more pleasant smell (reminds me of the ocean) and does not leave an oily feel.I have sensitive skin and I was looking for a good moisturizer to use with the What's happening is that Lab Series stopped making this, which I assume is why it's so expensive here--this is the last of a discontinued item. If you go on Lab Series' own website, you'll see lots of complaints about the new product that is replacing this one. So if you really want the Daily Defense with SPF15, you'll have to pony up for it.I'v been using Lab Series since they came out many years ago. This lotion is great, very smooth, high quality, leaves my face feeling very fresh. My wife says she is jealous, it is better than her lotions which she pays much much more for.I use this in combination with the Lab Series shower gel and the Lab Series skin cleanser and I have had many compliments over the years. I used the skin cleanser and this lotion before a nice evening dinner once, and a lady next to me told me I have a GREAT complexion, "better than your wife's" :p I hear that every so often now but NEVER before I started Lab Series. Not even once. So it is the real deal. It works.I've tried to put a dab on my teen daughter but she runs away howling with disgust that it is for men :)GraciasI've been using this stuff for at least 5 years I'm sure it's even been longer than that. This stuff is great. The SPF is just right. A product does not need to be SPF 1000. This is sufficient for all day use. The smell is very mild. After years of using it I've come to enjoy the smell. It's not bad, if anything it smells close to a sunblock but not too strong. The water out here in Southern CA is terrible. I apply this right after I shower. Also, a tube this size will last you a very long time. Cost breaks down to a little over 10 dollars a year. I won't use anything else.Using for over 10 years. Excellent in every way. Have tried a dozen wannabe's - Nothing compares. I'm interested in buying the formula and re-branding. Done right, SPF 15 is plenty for normal exposure. I only use this from the neck up. Please re-launch Estee Lauder / Lab Series!
