First, let me say that I tried both versions, with and without SPF and I don't see any significant difference, although I'm slightly in favor of the one without SPF. This is a great moisturizer, light, refreshing, no blackheads or breakouts whatsoever, smells nice and absorbs quickly. It's a shame that L'Oreal didn't put a good, reliable broad-spectrum sunscreen into this product, then it would be my HG for years to come. I also discovered another great feature of this, it mixes beautifully with oil-free foundations into a light, tinted gel moisturizer with a matte finish, so it's a fantastic option for summer. I mix small quantities in a jar and then I can go withouth additional foundations on hot, steamy days. Great stuff.
