Question 1

Is this also a moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

It's not drying at all and is unscented.  However, I personally would not use it as a daily moisturizer (and I don't think it's meant to be) because the fact that it's pretty water resistant would make it a bit pore clogging.  I use lighter weight stuff on my face for daily regular exposure walking around and use this when I am going to be out in the sun like sailing or at the beach or pool.   When I do need to use it, I make sure I use makeup remover cloths every night and buff puff once a week.  Makeup remover cloths work nicely to get waterproof sunscreens off.   This is not something you want to fall asleep with - it does a wonderful job as a non chemical sun screen, and staying on the skin is necessary for that.  My skin has never gotten irritated from it, but it smarts a little if you get it in your eyes.

Question 2

Is this clear gel like solbar thirty sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

It is a thick cream. My dermatologist recommended to put a dime size amount into a palm full of a good lotion such as gold bond healing for sensitive skin. Mix the two together and apply as you would any lotion. I've been using this method for 10+ years and I'm extremely pale burn easy and genetically predisposed for melanoma and I've not burned once with Solbar. I highly recommend.
