20 Best Sunscreen For Oily Acne Prone Skin (Feb 2023 Update)

I cannot live without this. I am a redhead and growing up there was nothing I hated more than sunscreen. Not only was it sticky, but is smelled very distinctly like sunscreen and I was always the kid made fun of for the white streaks or cast all over my skin. I hated sunscreen. When I started researching anti-aging and skin care regimens as an adult, and everything told me to wear sunscreen everyday, I cringed. But, the thought of wrinkles made me cringe more. I tried a lot of different facial SPFs. Then I found Supergoop!. I never want to stop using this product. It does not smell like anything (including sunscreen). It is not sticky when you put the right amount on. It is completely invisible and it is so hydrating without clogging pores (adult acne struggle is real!). This entire brand has a solution for every need that a fair redhead who despises traditional sunscreen could need. I am so in love with my daily SPF, I never miss it. I like to pair this with the Daily Dose – I do find that to be tacky, but once this is layered over it, the tacky goes away within minutes. Please make the Jumbo a permeant product!Ashley M.

I was really reluctant to try this sunscreen to be honest, and mainly for the name “super goop”. To me that sounds like the sunscreen was going to be gooey and thick, and if you throw in the word “glow screen” I thought for sure I would be walking around like a disco ball. The consistency of the product itself is quite opposite of what I thought. i only apply a small amount because a little goes a long way. The consistency is thin enough to smooth onto my face and settles into the perfect finish. I’m on day two of trying this sunscreen because I’m wearing it with different products. Yesterday I tried under my full coverage makeup and no greasy face so yeah! This morning I tried it with some bronzing drops to add some color and again the consistency is gorgeous. Overall, I feel like this is a great product, especially for us oily face combination skin peeps, I’m really impressed. I also heard it goes great when mixed with tinted moisturizers so I will try that next. If I wear this sunscreen alone without makeup I may dab some powder in my t-zone for extra reassurance but I will try that next.joy.w

This is probably one of my favorite sunscreens I've ever tried! I've tried buying other sunscreens, mineral ones that "don't leave a white cast" and cheaper chemical options, and I just purchased this sunscreen for the fourth time. I also come back to this because it's a reliable choice and have had no problems. I'm Southeast Asian with a skin tone that's on the lighter side of the medium/tan range, so if I wear a 100% mineral sunscreen, my skin is light enough that it blends in but also dark enough for someone to tell that my skin tone looks off (sort of like a white cool-toned tint to my warm skin?). In other words, I just look a bit paler than usual and it looks unnatural. With this sunscreen, I don't have to think about if you can see it on my skin or if it's not blended. I usually put on more sunscreen than suggested (just to be safe), and this glides on extremely easily over my skin ( and I also didn't notice any scent/an unpleasant chemical smell). It is a bit slippery (no oils are in this, just silicones), but your skin will feel soft after rubbing it in. Speaking of which, you don't need to put in a lot of effort to apply! I had recently gotten jaw surgery and had switched to a different sunscreen (chemical, but had a white color that disappeared after rubbing in). I had incisions on the left and right side of my bottom jaw, which sunscreen would be necessary to prevent scarring, and I found that I had trouble rubbing in my sunscreen (walking into harsh lighting, I'd see white along the sides of my jaw from not blending well enough). I switched to this instead and had no problem, nor did I have to worry about having any weird coloring. The finish is a soft matte, almost similar to the Fenty Pro Filter Instant Retouch Primer. Overall, if you want an SPF that you would enjoy applying and wouldn't have to worry about looking weird or greasy, this is perfect!GeeklyChic519

I recently received a tube of Clear Skin SPF 30 complimentary from Proactive in exchange for my honest review, and I gotta say it is refreshing to find a sunblock that actively prevents acne breakouts, when most cause them I have a very fair complexion and burn extremely easily, so a high spf is a must for me. But, most of them are SO thick and greasy – not this one! Its a very silky, light cream, with hardly any fragrance at all. I would definitely buy this again!Dannielle

I have had bad acne for my teenage and young adult years, and I've found that sunscreen is a major part of healing your skin. Not only is it a major tool in healing acne scars, but since it's something you have to reapply every 2 hours to avoid hyperpigmentation, it's really important to have sunscreen that doesn't clog your pores. I'm so glad Proactive created this great sunscreen specifically for acne prone skin so we can control our breakouts and heal the scars that are left at the same time.Bhav

I have acne prone skin that breaks out easily if I use products with irritating ingredients. I love that this sunscreen was formulated exactly for that problem! Most sunscreens on the market (mainly chemical sunscreens) cause me to break out even after double cleansing. This product didn't do that and made me feel better about wearing spf knowing I wasn't going to break out. I love using this in the morning to help protect my skin from the sun and it doesn't feel greasy like a lot of sunscreens tend to. A great product and I highly recommend it if you have the same skin concerns as me.Mary

I have very dry, sensitive skin that burns easily so I really appreciate a high SPF in an elegant formulation, which this sunscreen absolutely delivers. I didn't experience any negative reaction and it doesn't sting my eyes at all. It has a light, liquid/serum texture that doesn't leave a white cast on me, although I have very fair skin. It leaves a slightly dewy finish but is not super hydrating so I do layer it over a moisturizer. It also plays well under makeup. The only reason I might not repurchase, and the reason for only 4 stars, is the packaging. I'm so over the trend of putting skincare products in glass bottles with dropper applicators. It's not practical for a product I want to be able to throw in my purse and reapply. Plus it makes it more difficult to use enough to get the advertised sun protection. If Zitsticka puts this in a plastic bottle with a pump, I'll be a customer for life.Laura

I don't remember how I found this sunscreen or brand but I am so grateful for it. I have highly acne prone skin and about every sunscreen I have tried either gave my face a total white cast or broke me out. This does neither and my gosh does it make my skin feel amazing!! I notice that if I have a rare day I know I won't need to put it on due to staying mostly indoors, I put this on regardless! I love how it makes my skin feel that much. I am not sure if this is helping to prevent acne and can't make that claim for sure as I've had other variables in place as well…but I definitely haven't had any of my normal crazy hormonal breakouts since using. Love this stuff!Zara

I have very sensitive skin: both facial and ocular rosacea, as well as a few patches where eczema crops up on my face. This sunscreen does not irritate my skin or eyes in any way. It is supremely gentle and leaves no white caste. In addition to not bothering my skin, it has actually improved it. It feels and looks smoother and softer, and has considerably reduced the milia under my eyes. I bought this product because my target store was out of the sunscreen I had been using for the past few years, and I am so glad I gave it a try. I cannot recommend it enough, and hope this company will make a serum without sunscreen to use at night.Neutral

I see a lot of negative reviews of this product, but I honestly I think it’s pretty amazing. I was taking a chance buying this, because my skin hasn’t agreed with other glow recipe products in the past (guessing because of the amount of fragrance in their other products), however I couldn’t resist trying a new sunscreen! I have been using it in the morning without any moisturizer at the moment, and haven’t seen any issue with dry skin. For reference I am combo (oily t zone, dry cheeks), can be acne prone, and have seen sensitivity with fragrant products or products that contain essential oils. This product does have a light watermelon scent, but it dissipates within 20 min or so. It’s working well with my Lys foundation currently, but idk what it would be like with a powder or matte foundation.. it might pill as other reviews have suggested. I have been using this product for a few weeks now and have not noticed any sensitivity or increase in acne. And I have tried other chemical sunscreens that have caused my acne to flare up, so this is certainly one of a kind! If you have a bit of extra money to spend, and your skin kinda sounds like mine, I highly recommend trying this!Foxx77

Throughout my skincare journey, I've placed a strong emphasis on purchasing clean, high-quality products, even if it costs a bit more than, say, something I'd buy at the grocery store or drug store. However, SPF has been, for reasons I can't really explain, one of those skincare products that I just haven't held to that same standard. I've always been more content to just buy a "cheaper" natural brand. Up until this product, I'd been using the Alba Botanica SPF 50 sport sunscreen. It was fine and did what it needed to. But since discovering Glow Recipe, I decided to make the splurge and try out their SPF. Let me just say, I'm SO glad that I did. One of the most notable differences between this SPF and other brands that I've used is the texture. Whereas my last sunscreen always felt so thick and like I had to really work at blending it in, the watermelon glow niacinamide sunscreen just effortless glides on. It's so silky smooth. I also love that it has just a hint of natural watermelon fragrance. Plus, it feels so nourishing, and it really does wonders to help with the texture of my skin and alleviate any redness I may have. I know it's a bit pricier than your average sunscreen, but this is a fabulous product, and if you're willing to splurge, I couldn't recommend this more.Bryce

Chemical sunscreen that is ensconced in great ingredients. WHY? Ingredients that accumulate in fish and breast milk. No one should be using any chemical sunscreen. Children are advised not to use at least one of the active ingredients because studies have shown that it aggravates rosacea and eczema. Japan limits not just one but two of the ingredients in this product. Bottom line is any sunscreen that is “light” and adsorbs easily, is chemical based – it soaks into your skin. If it accumulates in fish that swim below water treatment plants, what makes you think it doesn’t accumulate in you when you directly slather it on your skin? The government approvals of these ingredients is based on the thought that more people will die of skin cancer then will die of chemical toxicity, but how do we know that all the cancers we have aren’t a result of all the chemicals we are exposed to daily? And all of the reactive copy in the ad suggested GR knows this is an issue and is trying to head off complaints and questions in advance. I have no doubt that this is a wonderful sunscreen. The other ingredients are great. But if you care about your health you’ll stop using chemical sunscreens. You’ll just suck it up and use the mineral only ones that take about 20 minutes for your skin to warm them to the point of making the white cast disappear.Less C. P.

I’ve tried most of the Sun Screens at Sephora, plus UltaMd ones and a few amazing Japanese ones. This is my favorite (along with the Mermaid UV Skin gel Japanese one but it’s full chemical no zinc). The texture is amazing. My skin is hydrated but not greasy. It leaves with moisturized, wet, fresh, glass skin shine- a glow which is NOT a weird greasy film or a weird glitter sparkle like other sunscreens. Great for dry skin, and it has never irritated my skin, I even use it on my eyes lids and my eyes have never felt a sting. My only qualm is that it’s only 30 spf. Biossance, please make a 50 spf!!!!! I use this guy as my daily, casual, indoor with small errands to run sunscreen. But I do use other 50 spf sunscreens when I’m outdoors or when it’s very sunny outside. I don’t feel comfortable wearing by this as the weather heats up now in Spring. I know however that this will be my winter go-to, when I need something moisturizing and comfortable without such a need for high spf (although again, 50 spf would be much preferred). Highly recommend. For casual daily use, especially for indoor days. I wouldn’t use only this on sunny days or outdoor days however, on those days I recommend folks wear 50 spf.DamaraAndBast

Let me start by saying DO NOT use this if you have dark skin. I’m the palest person I know and you can see this on my skin. I think that’s just the nature of zinc oxide sunscreens but I’m not totally sure. I used to really like this and I had bought it because of Hyram like a lot of other people. One of my biggest concerns with this sunscreen is the fact that it has Isostearic Acid which is a well known acne causer but I didn’t realize this until my dermatologist pointed it out and it was too late to return this. I have not noticed any breakouts yet that I can contribute to this sunscreen but just know it’s a possibility because of that ingredients, Cosdna actually ranks it as a 5 in the acne category. My other quarrel with this sunscreen is just the way it applies. This is not moisturizing even though it might seem like it when you first put it on. It dries QUICK and will not blend into the skin properly if you let it dry before it’s fully rubbed in and you’ll also have white streaks on your face. This also dries down sticky and will have a bunch of hairs and dust stick to your face. I’ve also found that throughout the day at work, I’ll have white flakes pilling and flaking off on my chin and it’s very noticeable. As for actual sun protection, I’ve never actually used this in a setting where I would get sunburnt, I use this for daily wear so I’m not sure how well it protects against the sun yet. Since I can’t return this sunscreen I will be finishing it but I am not happy with it and will not be repurchasing. Let the sunscreen hunt continueshelbyisepic

I came to the reviews in desperation to hopefully find some answers as to why this highly rated product wrecked my skin for over half a year. I’ve never had skin issues except for the occasional dry patch during winter time, but five doctor visits and three steroids later to treat the intense itchiness, redness, flakiness, and wrinkles from dry skin (!), I’m reflecting on how this might have started. Around January 2022, I tried two new products for myself: Skinfix face wash and Biossance’s sheer mineral sunscreen. I had returned the Skinfix face wash thinking that was the culprit – the irony here is that the Sephora employee said it was a “bad batch” and that there had been some sort of recall. I continued using the Biossance sunscreen because I always use SPF outside and I liked that it was a mineral sunscreen, left absolutely no white cast or pilling, and made my skin glow. However, I’ve noticed that when I go out and use this sunscreen, I have super itchy rashes and hives appearing on my face and/or neck. The redness and irritation can last for days, or on and off for months as I have been dealing with this. I’ve been making sure I’m hydrated and moisturized, so I’ve had my normal skin for almost a week now – until today. I used the Biossance SPF again and within 20 minutes of being outside, I began to feel the tingle on my jawline. It was too late and now I’m sure it’s been this product this whole time. The dermatologist had dismissed the SPF initially as a culprit, but seeing these reviews..yikes. I have literally lost sleep by using this product because I have been clawing at my face and neck from the intense irritation. I am disappointed I stocked up on this product and do not feel right to give it away to someone in case they have the same reaction. Will need to toss in trash.Deb

Neutrogena’s Invisible Daily Defense Sunscreen Lotion broad spectrum SPF 30 is such a pleasant product to use. First off this lotion provides superior broad spectrum UVA/ UVB protection with antioxidant to help fight environmental aggressors such as cold, ozone, and pollution. My first impression- I love the mild fruity scent! The formula is nice and light, rubs in 100% without any white residue sitting on my skin. It feels hydrating to skin, almost like applying lotion. And to me it’s important that this product is non- comedogenic. This sunscreen has worked very well for me, providing great everyday protection for sun and environment. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a lightly scented broad spectrum product.Gusgumball6

Literally horrible. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before purchasing. Usually do but I was out of town and picking up some essentials from Target and came across this and hardly read it… saw 60 and “NEW” so I figured I’d try it. I usually like Neutrogena sunscreens and they’re a pretty safe option. Not this one. All of the reviews say “not for face” and I wish I would’ve read that prior to using on my face! The skin on my face is horribly irritated- puffy eyes and very dry scaly skin under my eyes… dried out my skin very badly. Do not use this on your face. Probably safe on the rest of your body but I’m not even willing to try. This is day 3 of not using this sunscreen and my face is still irritated and puffy. Weird orange tint to sunscreen and not sure why that is necessary. Kind of pricey but I overlooked the price because I know Neutrogena is typically good.kbraz

Been using this for a few months now and can say that I love it. Like it says for me it does not cause breakouts which has been an issue in the past with many facial sunscreens. That's why I waited a while to review I wanted to put this through the ringer. So I'm about to give you an in depth review of my usage over the last few months. First off this does go nicely over many many many facial products and treatments as I have a whole repertoire of products that I've used or tested or tried out for the sake of it. And this applies nicely. I like to warm it up in my hands and then press onto my face and rub in like you would a moisturizer and make sure to get your ears as well. It does not leave a white cast on my face which is nice and doesn't feel oily or greasy because it's oil free. It can feel a bit gritty for some reason but I've gotten past that it's all good. I aloow it to sink in for about a good 10 minutes if I'm doing makeup and then I begin my routine. Have not had any problems doing makeup with this underneath as well. Works fantastic. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because if you have a face full of makeup and you'd like to reapply this is not it! Because as we know 2 hour application is best if you're out and about in the sun. Which usually I am all day. So I'd recommend a spray product or a powder product for an alternative. Now if you're going natural for the day even though we don't like makeup wipes maybe carry some miceller wipes and wipe your face down and reapply to prevent product build up which even though this is breakout and oil free if you're reapplying as directed. Imagine a 12 hour day you'd be reapplying 6 times that's a lot of product going onto your face to be cleansed off at the end of the day. This is why some form of wipes stay within my reach for easy cleaning to make reapplication a breeze and end of the day cleansing a bit easier. But I only recommend this if you have or know a brand that works for you. My friend who also works outside and is religious about sunscreen uses a facial cleaning water product and reusable cotton pads. But overall. This sunscreen is great haven't gotten burnt and I'm in the sun all day every day in hot Louisiana.jessica.h

So this was my first time purchasing this specific kind of sunscreen from Bare Republic. I normally use the regular one that isn’t clear. Not a fan of the feel of the sunscreen. It has like little beads or something in it and feels weird as your putting it on. My kids didn’t like it. It does dry clear so that is accurate. It doesn’t smell like mango to me but that isn’t a big deal. It’s the ingredients that I’m not a big fan of. It’s not as clean as I thought it was. I much prefer their regular sunscreen. I wouldn’t buy again or recommend it if you care about what’s in your sunscreen. My kids are using it today so I will update later to share how it worked. *it did seem to work as they did not get sunburnt. They didn’t stay out long so we did not need to reapply.lani.d

Disclosure: I received a sample of this product from Poshly for free in exchange for a fair and honest review. I ended up using this product twice this weekend and loved it. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It has a nice scent to it and I really enjoyed that it is not an overpowering scent and that it doesn't smell like coconut since most other sunscreens do. It came out in a light mist, so I didn't have to worry about it going on too thickly and not being able to absorb. After I sprayed it on, I didn't really even notice it was there because it wasn't greasy. While wearing this product I was working in my garden and appreciated that the dirt, mud, etc. wasn't clinging to the sunscreen as I worked. After I was done outside I took a shower and had no issue with the water repelling off my skin due to the remaining sunscreen. It also didn't leave any residue on my clothing. Finally, while wearing this product in direct sunlight for two hours, I have no signs of a sunburn or redness on my skin. I recommend this product and will continue using it in the future.Dream W.

I am going to Hawaii so I went to Target to get reef safe/friendly sunscreen. I looked at all the different options and I bought 4 different kinds. This Bare sunscreen leaves no white residue/white cast, it’s Hawaii reef compliant, water resistant AND it’s 100 spf! I definitely like this one the best. I also tried the Target brand Up&Up mineral 50spf, Neutrogena Sheer Mineral 50spf, and Coppertone Pure&Simple Kids mineral 50spf. Those all had white residue probably due to the zinc/minerals. Target only had the Bare Face but not the Body, I would love to try the Bare Body Clearscreen in the future as well!April G.

The first sunscreen I have liked enough to finish the bottle. The best thing about it is that it's light enough that you can't feel it on your face- it doesn't stay greasy or rub off on everything you own (like some other mineral sunscreens do) so it is very practical for every day usage. As for the cast, I am light skinned with neutral undertones and it does leave a slight blue-ish cast on my face. It is not bad though and if you rub it in all the way it is hardly noticeable. If you notice no cast at all you are not using nearly enough and not getting the full SPF 30. I would recommend removing this before reapplying because at the end of the day if you have several layers on your face from reapplication, I found that if I scratch my face even lightly that it collects so much product under my fingernails. Additionally, if it gets in my hair it kind of gets stuck and then flakes at the end of the day. This is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5, and also because I wish it came in higher SPF as well. I'm looking for the most practical and convenient sunscreen for every day use and I think this is the best at this price point. I finished the bottle in about a month and a half- that is with daily use on my face and neck with at least two reapplications (two finger lengths worth of product each time).christinemaie

I just got this and I know it’s a winner. I purchased the Biossance mineral sunscreen and I didn’t care for it, mainly because it did not absorb into my skin (think layer of cream) and would run off my face when I’d sweat. Not cute :/ or comfortable. So I decided to switch to Dr. Dennis Gross and let me tell you… it absorbs into my skin like a dream, leaves no white cast (I have a light olive complexion), and the packaging is yellow! (I like yellow). I’m joking about the packaging, I’m sure there is more to love, but I can’t think of anything else at the moment. My main concerns are absorption and no white cast and those are met. Maybe in a few weeks I’ll see if there is a difference in my skin. The only thing though is the price. Yes, it’s higher than I’d like, but at the same time it is a quality sunscreen and in a skincare routine the sunscreen is the most important step… so I guess I’ll let it slide. Overall I think this is a great product. Try it out and see what you think 🙂BriBee123

For reference, I have normal to dry skin, packed with hyperpigmentation, pores and fine lines because I didn’t take the proper care/protection when I was young. I thought that I was not going to like this sunscreen but I actually do, and a lot! PROS: – Physical sunscreen: even being a full physical sunscreen, it doesn’t leave too much of a white cast. – It doesn’t irritate my eyes: because of being a physical sunscreen, I can apply it around my eyes and over my lids. Chemical sunscreens irritate my eyes. – Lightweight and easy to apply. – It worked well under my makeup but I needed to use a matte finish foundation to compensate the glowy finish that the sunscreen left on my skin (I apply quite a lot to get the SPF advertised) – It has some skincare ingredients but I don’t rely on my sunscreen to get what my aging skin needs (other than the SPF, of course) – Non scented formula: it doesn’t have any perfumes so it is perfect for any sensitive face out there – Reef safe. – Clean at Sephora. CONS – It is quite pricey, and that’s the only reason to give only 4 stars. – Applying liberally, as the brand recommends and as every sunscreen should be applied to get the level of protection in the label, you will end up with a very glowy finish. It still works with my makeup but I have to avoid glowy foundations or it would be too much glow. I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community AmbassadorSaradestin

I personally love this product because I have very dry dehydrated skin! This makes my skin look and feel light-weight and luminous at the same time. I would definitely recommend this product for dry skin that isn’t super sensitive and even if you have normal skin type and you are looking for that clean gorgeous glow this is it!! I also love how hydrating this is, it is like a moisturizing sunscreen. If you are scared to be to glowy then you could definitely try skipping your daily moisturizer in the morning and just go in with this at the end of your skincare routine. I wouldn’t say that this sunscreen is heavy, I think it is very lite-weight and long lasting with no white cast which I love!! The sunscreen does have a little fragrance but honestly it doesn’t bother me, I have sensitive skin and sense none of my other products have fragrance this just adds a elegant floral smell! I wouldn’t recommend this product for super sensitive skin that gets irritated by using fragrance, but if you don’t mind it and you want a sunscreen that is light-weight and makes your skin have a beautiful bright glow then this is definitely the product for you!! I understand that people with more Oily/Combo skin type would not enjoy this sunscreen, because of how oily the product could be with Oily/Combo skin! I am definitely re-purchasing this product!! I also am very interested in purchasing more products from this brand because I have Heard really good reviews! Also I loveeeeeee the packaging!!kiana14skincare

Hydro UV Defense is a broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen gifted by Laneige for review. Adore this brand and was considerably excited to try their new sunscreen. First of all, it has a clear finish and more importantly: no stinging of the eyes! Unsure if this sunscreen is water resistant but it held up great during outdoor exercise. A big plus since I’ve unfortunately had painful experiences with other sunscreens. Application leaves my dry skin looking dewy and hydrated. It layers well with other skincare and has a light non-irritating scent which disappears quickly after application. It’s also dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic.teapear

By far my favorite sunscreen! I have medium/tan combo skin with olive undertones and this disappears beautifully following cleansing and toning with zero white cast. At times I forget to moisturize on top of it and nothing slides off of it all day. Even with moisturizer it does not make my face oily, which is a godsend. Many users have commented on the scent but quite honestly, I think it smells fresh and quite lovely and not at all like the typical sunscreen smell. The scent disappears within a few minutes for better or for worse, though. Couldn't recommend enough!misss808

I really like this sunscreen because it leaves very mininal white-cast (not zero (maybe like 5% out of 100%)). So people with darker skin tones can use this after massaging it into your skin for a minute or two. The reason I didn’t give this five stars is because it leaves me way too oily and shiny. It makes me look like I’ve been sweating and I’m not into that. It goes away slightly after half an hour to an hour, but it will always have that oily feeling. If you want a shiny look, then look into this sunscreen. If you want a matte sunscreen, I suggest looking somewhere else. The picture is of the sunscreen settled in after about 30 minutes.Dhamar A.

I have always loved the sun, but as I've gotten older (39 yo female), it has turned dangerous for me. I have light to medium skin tone but after Accutane in my teens, my skin hasn't weathered the sun in the same way and has worsened as the years pass. This, coupled with the SPF 50 spray, helped me to enjoy the sun without (mostly) returning home with a severe burn all over. I only say 'mostly' because I missed a spot on my foot and incurred swelling from the burn. Everywhere else, I had no burn. It's truly amazing!Alana S.

I was recently introduced to this stuff and I'm super happy with it! I put it on my face everyday before doing my make up and it doesn't leave my face looking oily which I was afraid of and many other sunscreens do. The smell is nice and you only need a little bit so a whole jar will last me a long time. I also like how afforadble it is.ana.b

I will keep buying this sunscreen until they stop producing it or I die, whichever comes first. I really struggled with finding sunscreen that doesn't make me too oily, give me a horrendous white cast, or make me break out, and this is it. I never get burnt wearing it, and it doesn't pill or clog my pores. It is super smooth and plays well with whatever products you use over or under it. In the summer, I usually skip moisturizer and just use this as my base layer, and I think if you're concerned about excess oiliness this is the way to go. As a disclaimer, I usually rock a somewhat dewy look (too much work to fight what nature gave me) but I don't like outright oiliness and for me this hits that sweet spot. If you like a true matte look you could probably still make this work depending on what primer/foundation you're putting over it.spillanor

I have to say that I really loved this products. I read everyone’s comments but I gave a try. I do have a few tips 1. If you have a white cast, you may be using a lot more. My suggestion is to use a nickel size amount of sunscreen. Dot your face with it (one for forehead, two for each cheek, side of nose, one dot for chin). DONT rub it, but instead pat it. 2. Give it at least 10 minutes before you add makeup. I like to give sunscreen a minute to set in so I feel more comfortable with makeup. I realized that the longer you wait, the better makeup goes well for skin 3. Don’t believe when it says Matt priming. Don’t get me wrong, it is Matte but it doesn’t blurr your pores. It just leaves a soft touch (like a tissue paper) but I do recommend to wear an extra primer just in case if you’re oily or combination 4. Give it a few days to adjust with it, you may see a white cast but after you keep rubbing, it eventually goes away The reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that it’s a small bottle size and I just wished it had more. However, it at least eliminates the greasy part of sunscreen.jessica1413

It is a beautiful sunscreen, minimal citrus scent, no crazy white cast and not oily. That perfect medium. Texture feels like a light moisturizer. I have read a few comments about people breaking out but it could be the fact that it is a chemical sunscreen? I’ve had small cheek breakouts here and there but honestly, could be due to my hormones and not the sunscreen. The price point I think is what makes me come back to this sunscreen!! I’ve bought three tubes of this within the last few months. I keep one at home, in my purse and at work lol (I can’t be the only one.) In my opinion this is a really good spf staple for everyday, maybe not for extreme sun exposure and hope they never mess with the formula. The only thing I would tweak in my “perfect” world would be for it to have no fragrance!jennifersilva97

This is an awesome product from Colorscience due to the color match (Face Shield Flex in Fair) and I am thrilled to have found it! Not only does it have the UVA/UVB protection (plus added bonus of blue light and infrared radiation protection), but it contains hydrators and antioxidants that make the skin look and feel amazing. Additionally, it is a 100% mineral formula that is gluten free, paraben free, oil free, fragrance free and phthalate free (all a must for my sensitive skin!). Previously, I used the Sunforgettable Total Protection in Classic but it was too dark/noticeable for my ivory skin so I used the Concierge service and they recommended the Sunforgettable Total Protection Flex product in Fair and it is a perfect match! It looks like I am wearing nothing at all and blends seamlessly with my neck to avoid that orangey/yellowish line on the jaw area. At the end of a full day of wear, my skin looks even better than in the morning and is smooth and calm, not tight, and the redness spots are evened out. Thank you for making this fantastic product that customizes the color!Marcia

I have dry, sensitive skin so sunscreen is tricky – I need mineral because chemical is irritating, but mineral ingredients like zinc oxide can be quite drying. It’s rare that a mineral sunscreen is as hydrating as this one, and I love that about it. My face never feels tight and dry by the end of the day. However, even for my dry skin, the finish is a bit too dewy. On someone with more oily skin, this would be downright greasy. I’m also rather pale and my skin tone is cool, but this shade is truly pink! Not pinky-beige but actually a cool apricot color. I’m able to make it work but it does look a bit odd. This probably works very well for extremely fair, cool skin tones — think folks that freckle very easily. Overall, cosmetically elegant and really hydrating. Probably won’t repurchase because of the poor color match, but might try Flex if it’s similar.ChristaLea

This was my first time trying a sunscreen from this brand and I was not that impressed. I got this one and the non-tinted version of this, and both were just not that great. They don't sit well over certain moisturizers (I use cerave cream) and can pill/bunch up depending on the skincare you have underneath. The tint on this claims to be universal, but it was noticeably darker compared to my natural skintone. I'm Asian with light/fair skin (Fitzpatrick type 2), and the color difference was so obvious. I applied this to my face and neck, and it was so dark compared to my chest. I was confused because reviews with lighter skin said the tint was fine, but it might also be that people don't apply an appropriate amount for proper spf coverage. The tint on this is really suited for those who are a solid medium/tan skintone. This is also not dark-skinned friendly (I had my friend try it out), as it leaves you looking ghostly. Also, the smell is similar to that of rubber tires. I do like that it's spf 50 and lightweight, but the cons heavily outweigh the pros for me that I would not find myself ever purchasing this again.Kev

Recently with the influx of skincare and makeup videos on apps like Instagram and tik tok, I've been seeing so many things about sunscreen and sun protection. I'm only 25 but I've started to notice some fine lines and signs of sun damage since I'm quite pale and fair skinned, which is all the more reason for me to use this. I've tried other sunscreens for the face but most of them leave a white cast or make my skin feel even more oily than it already is, or even pill up on dry areas. That was until I went searching for the best face sunscreen and found this. At first I was hesitant because of the price, and thought about it for a few months. I mean $37 for sunscreen is definitely a lot, but to those wondering if it's worth it: it definitely is. This sunscreen is absolutely amazing, it's light, fluid, makes me feel like I'm wearing nothing at all, and best of all leaves NO WHITE CAST!!! I love knowing that I'm protected and the spf 50 is great for someone like me with super pale skin. The only issue I have with it is that it does leave my face looking a little oily but usually I'll just put a bit of powder on and it looks normal. I would definitely be interested in trying something that has a more matte finish, if available. Also I will say if you use the recommended amount of sunscreen daily you will go through this bottle pretty quick. It lasted about 3-4 weeks for me, so it could be worth investing in a backup sunscreen that's cheaper, but overall I love this sunscreen it's the best one I've tried yet!!Cccmp

I'm so glad I decided to try this particular sunscreen from La Roche-Posay {already being happy with, -and using their SPF50 for children for both me and my son} wanting something that felt a bit lighter for the face and neck especially. I have very sensitive, reactive skin prone to redness {not diagnosed but ticks every box for Rosacea} and not only does this sunscreen not cause any irritations whatsoever, but my skin seem calmer and happier since I've started using this nearly daily and I've had no flare ups and putting it on. There's not even a hint of redness {that can even be brought on by my kind moisturiser that is great for me otherwise}. Anyone with finicky skin knows that this in itself is so nice to find, – but not only have I had these results every time for weeks now, but it also seem to make my make up look and last b e t t e r, which I find hard to expect from a sunscreen. So much so that I've stopped using a primer before make up application {and rather just use this sunscreen and then a cc cream and some translucent mineral veil, and I have had more compliments on my skin than ever}. The consistency is quite runny and light, but I find that to be a great feature for a sunscreen for the face as it melts in with no white cast whatsoever. It stays a bit tacky to the touch {and skin looks healthy 'glowy' on me}, which I now only appreciate as that might be what then has make up sit well on top too. First time I ordered I was a bit taken back by how small the bottle is, but it's lasted much longer than expected with daily use and I've reordered more than happily since.Hannah

I was almost going to return this because the first few times I used it I experienced a lot of pilling on certain areas of the face. But I also noticed that on the areas it didn't pill, I had the best of both worlds — gentle zinc SPF protection and a bit of radiance. I also really liked how makeup applies so smoothly over this sunscreen, because some zinc sunscreens can leave a chalky feel that makes foundation look too pale. Not so with this one! Anyway, because the instructions on the product recommend layering it over a moisturizer, and because it's the dead of winter and I have drier skin, I needed to figure out what would work well with this. Turns out that a few drops of a face oil applied first work out great! No pilling at all, not even a tiny bit. I'm so pleased. Previously I was using an oil-based moisturizer that didn't even have silicones in it, but for whatever reason the Tatcha didn't agree with it. If you like face oils, I highly recommend using one underneath this SPF.DesiWoman

I absolutely love this product. I use it as a daily sunscreen and as a primer before foundation. If my skin is EXTRA dry, I will go in with a moisturizing serum or moisturizer first, but it isn't necessary for me every day. I'm not sure why people say that this is drying. There is fragrance in here, but it is very low on the ingredients list. I have super sensitive, combination-dry skin, and I do not find this product drying. I even bought this for my sister for her birthday. The fragrance is very light and nice (smells like Tatcha) and it feels pretty going on. No white cast once you blend it in properly, although it does go on white before being rubbed in. It doesn't have the pore-erasing quality of say Benefit Porefessional, but it does blur pores and create a silky, even look much better than untreated skin. The only reason I took a star off is because of the price. In order to get the coverage/sun protection you want and that it claims to possess, you have to put on more than a pearl sized amount. I usually use a dime sized amount, or sometimes even more. Therefor, at only 2 ounces, it runs out quickly if I use it everyday. While it doesn't seem too too pricey, especially for Tatcha, for daily use it gets expensive quickly. That being said, I will definitely buy it again! It looks gorgeous under my foundation and doesn't get oily.ainsleymh

I have to say that I LOVE this sunscreen. I was sceptical of the price, but I love Tatcha products so I thought I would give it a try. I usually use it under make up and I find that it works great as a primer and really does smooth out my pores. The best thing about it is that even without makeup it really does give a blurring effect. I purchased this because I was looking for a stronger SPF for under my makeup that wouldn't clog my pores and didnt feel too thick or cakey, but the fact that it also blurs and smooths my pores is what really sold me on this product. Other brands have made me breakout but I have not had that issue with this product and have been using it for about 4 months now. The only reason for my 4 star review is that I really think the bottle should be a bit bigger. A little does not go a long way (in my opinion) so I think a larger bottle or value size would be more convenient, especially since this product is always sold out so its annoying to run out quickly and not be able to restock.adriana.c

Hi everyone. My skin type is mildly oily-combo (oily in certain areas & dry-to-normal in others such as cheeks and oilier in my t-zone area), sensitive skin. I was looking for a buildable, sheer coverage, non-greasy, non-pilling, not super casty mineral sunscreen with either purely zinc and/or titanium dioxide. Also of course I am open to combination sunscreens, so long as their gentle enough, as I’ll be having a cool peel co2 laser and prp micro needling bio-facial treatments done on my neck soon on the 13th of April. Anyways, was basically looking for a quality mineral sunscreen which looked cosmetically elegant on the skin. I had seen a lot of positive reviews of this particular sunscreen on target and online , but for me, although it felt very light and not super heavy, upon closer inspection, I noticed that it had a tendency to collect in areas of my face with hair, such as my facial hair stubble, eyebrows and even my hairline a little bit unfortunately, resulting in slight purplish colored patches on my skin due to the cast this sunscreen was leaving across my face and all. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this sunscreen, because unless you have zero stubble like me, than sunscreen will leave a weird cast, when using 2 finger lengths of sunscreen. Pros of it are that it goes on smoothly and doesn’t feel greasy nor pill using the full amount. Just don’t like how it collects where there is hairJeff

I’ve been wanting to try this mineral sunscreen for a while now so this tiny bottle was the perfect sample size! I got about 3 uses out of it. To start, I have a medium skin tone (I’m of south Asian descent) so finding a mineral sunscreen without a white cast is very difficult. This sunscreen glided onto my skin so nicely and left no chalky feeling, unlike most mineral sunscreens. It does take a while to blend in and did ultimately leave a minimal white cast (though it did go away on its own after a little while). I don’t know that I would recommend this sunscreen for skin tones darker than a medium/tan. I am also very acne prone and I don’t normally like having to rub in a sunscreen so much, since it irritates my skin. However, the consistency is like a lotion so the application didn’t bother my skin at all. My only small complaint is that it is a bit drying, and I do have dry skin. For those on the drier side, I recommend applying an oil to your face before applying the sunscreen. That helped keep my skin moisturized under the sunscreen! Overall, I thought this was a great product and I’m looking forward to purchasing the larger size soon!skumar

The Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen is a 100% mineral SPF. It contains 17.53% Zinc Oxide, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It also contains multiple ingredients that help to soothe and nourish skin. This SPF is reef-safe and non-comedogenic. It is also alcohol-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free, allergen-free, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, vegan and pregnancy-safe. This sunscreen is a pale green color with a light, gel-cream consistency. It applies easily and smoothly when applied with your hands and blends perfectly into the skin. A little of this product goes a long way, so you do not need a heavy hand when applying it. It does not leave any sort of white cast or tint on the skin. It also absorbs very well and does not leave any sort of stickiness or tacky feeling on the skin. This product is fragrance free and safe for all skin types – even acne-prone skin. Personally, I did find this product to be soothing and moisturizing. It also makes a decent base for makeup application. However, I'm not sure how much of a color correcting effect it really has. My redness was still significantly noticeable after application. Overall, I love how lightweight and absorbent this sunscreen is and I would definitely recommend giving this product a try if you are in the market for a new sunscreen.kala.h

Picked one of the smaller sizes of these up in the sale as I’ve not tried it before, and I absolutely love it!! Definitely up there with my favourite sunscreens of all time. The texture reminds me very much of La Roche Posay shaka fluid, it’s very light and watery, however I’d say the finish on this is definitely less greasy. Left no white cast and smells lovely! I’ve tried tonnes of sunscreens at both the higher and lower end price points and this one really stood out as a great, every day wearable one. I find many to be too greasy and thick/not fun to wear or that leave a white cast/ sting your eyes etc but this one did none of those things – I will definitely be buying more of these when they come back in stock! I lent some of this to my family when we were out for a walk last week and they all commented the same, that it was a super nice sunscreen! Can see why it’s a cult classic!Maizeballs

#kiehls #ultralightdailyuvdefense Pros: SPF 50 PA++++, so will provide adequate protection for many hours. Very moisturizin hydrating so ideal for #dryskin. Cons: very thick. Leaves a bit of a white cast on the skin, so you need to put a lot of effort to make it look natural. Does not absorb fast. Not suitable for oily/combo skin. #QuantasReviews #DailyReviews #sunscreen #skincare #skincareroutinemaggie.q

No cast on my medium-type skintone. It also seems to hydrate my skin since I noticed if my moisturizer still left me with dry-feeling skin, this would help. The big negative for me its not sweat resistant, so if I put it around my eyes, and I sweat even a bit the solution seeps in my eye and then it hurts and I have to remove it. This is the only reason I will not buy this sunscreen again because otherwise it was fine! Other sunscreen products did not cause this sweating issue. I'm still going to finish it but apply it on my neck and whatnot.evey1234

Pros: this product doesn't sting my sensitive eyes, and it prevents sunburn. Cons: It settles into the lines of my skin and makes them white. I end up with white lines across my neck, and the visual effect is similar to old age stage makeup. It makes the lines look deeper and more severe. Also, the performance under makeup is appallingly bad. Utterly woeful. I tried it with Bareminerals Barepro pressed powder, and I also tried it with the Lisa Eldridge longwearing liquid foundation, and the makeup looked nice when I first applied it, but then it quickly degraded over the next few hours. The powder foundation cracked so badly that it ended up looking like I had flaky snake scales all over my face. I was still at work, and I took a tissue and savagely wiped away the worst bits. The longwearing foundation fared better, but it split and cracked like a desert floor. The foundation I've been using instead for everyday wear, that doesn't sting my eyes but plays well with makeup, is the Supergoop Play. I get the big jug of it and use it on my face and body, and my makeup sits on top of it beautifully. I would recommend the anthelios for a hike, or some other activity where you'll be in the sun but your appearance doesn't matter.Cydni

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk 60 is an oil free, lightweight lotion sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum SPF 60 protection with a powerful antioxidant complex to protect skin from free radicals caused by UV rays. Key Ingredients: – Cell-Ox Shield technology combines broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filters and powerful antioxidant protection with senna alata, a tropical leaf extract known to defend skin cells against damaging free radicals that can accelerate skin aging – La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water is naturally rich in minerals with soothing and antioxidant properties This has a silk-like creamy texture that is similar to a lotion. It has the typical sunscreen scent but it’s not overpowering. I love how lightweight this is and that is doesn’t feel heavy on my skin. It’s absorbs fast into the skin, doesn’t leave behind a white cast (I am light/medium tone). I haven’t found it to be greasy on my skin, although it does cling to dry areas so use a good moisturizer beforehand. It’s best to wait 30 minutes after it has absorbed before continuing with your routine, otherwise it pills. I would say it’s worth a try for those with normal or combination skin, but honestly there are better facial sunscreens out there. PROS: ✅ Free of fragrance, oil, parabens, octinoxate, oxybenzone ✅ Non-comedogenic ✅ Water resistant 80 minutes ✅ Lightweight Absorbs fast ✅ Doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin CONS: ❌ Contains Alcohol Dent. ❌ Pills under makeup ❌ Stung eyes when I started to sweatcourtney .h

I’ve recently started purchasing La Roche Posay products and am super happy with my purchase’s. This is the last thing I bought. I’m totally in love with it. It applies perfectly on my face and arms and leaves no white cast. Normally I spend $38-$65 dollars just for my face sunscreen but no more. This one is top dog now. It’s mostly physical with a tad bit of chemical but I’m ok with that. I use to try so hard and use products that were 100% clean and they are so expensive but what people don’t realize is there are non clean ingredients in practically everything. Makeup, skincare, hair products, ect. At least with La Roche Posay I don’t worry about it. It’s fragrance free and doesn’t have sulfates and the majority of the other bad stuff. This brand was made for sensitive skin and mine sure does love it. I’ve been using their face and body wash for dry to extra dry skin on my face then their face and body cream on my face followed by this amazing sunscreen. Who says you have to spend a fortune on skincare for it to work? Next product of theirs I want to try is the hylaronic acid serum. It’s a combination of big and small molecules to reach the surface of the skin and I believe 15 layers deep. Sounds amazing! My point is La Roche Posay is an amazing brand and you can’t go wrong with any of their products. Highly recommended!ronda.l

I bought this sunscreen because it was recommended by Hyram for its quality: it's fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and is a mineral sunscreen, which is more protective for the skin. However, I heard a LOT of complaints about the whitecast that this sunscreen leaves. Trust me when I say that it's avoidable! I do have very pale skin, so whitecast does not affect me as badly, but anyone can make this product absorb well if they apply small amounts at a time to each section of their face and gently pat it in with fingers until completely absorbed. The key is not to use too much. If you do and you smear it all over, it will definitely leave a whitecast. So apply the small amounts and do it in layers because this will help it better absorb, make sure your skin is fully protected, and make sure that it does not leave a whitecast. Your skin will just be a little bit brighter afterwards, and it won't feel overly greasy. Compared to a lot of other facial sunscreens with good ingredients, this one is more affordable and of just as good quality.Claire F

Pros!! – I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin. I’m also very sensitive to scents. I had no problems with this sunscreen. -Washed off well in the shower, just scrubbed my arms, etc a few times with honest co liquid shampoo. – Water repelling for water fun! I could see the water beading up and running off. -I didn’t burn!!! And I was working outside for 7 Hours. -Cleaner and better for your body than conventional. Cons/ish. -Won’t blend in, but it’s also not supposed to be absorbed by the skin. It sits on top. That’s what mineral based sunscreens do. Put it on lightly then add more if needed. – Definitely looks like paint lol. But again, it’s a zinc oxide based sunscreen.Mountain

I’m happier that someone wears sunscreen than not at all but I do prefer to follow the American Dermatology Association guidelines which recommend a combination of minerals and chemicals. This is my best easy explanation about sunscreen ingredients I would tell my clients and now I’m telling you. Minerals block and reflect the rays like a shield. Unfortunately, there are some tiny little pinholes in that shield. That's when chemical sunscreens come into play and they help to absorb the rays in a healthy manner instead of letting them become cancer, fine lines, or sun damage. So the combination is ideal. Also using one that has more minerals will be more oil-free and matte because minerals absorb oil. Mineral sunscreen is also more calming to sensitive skin than chemicals alone. So the combination is best. If you take a peek at your SPF and find it doesn’t meet these standards just finish up what you have because you should never throw something away. When you run out you’ll be prepared to upgrade your sunscreen game. Follow my “press and massage” method to apply your sunscreen without a white cast. And then my “hot spot” rule to know when to reapply. Let’s also not argue about SPF. I know recently that some products were found to have ingredients that are known to be cancer-causing. To me so is the sun. I’m just recommending upon my knowledge and experience and know I respect where you stand as well All my esthetician approved sunscreen recommendations can be found on my shopltk shop and I post what I use often on insta.kimberly.t

Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen. This is a 100% mineral sunscreen containing Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, and enhanced with artemia salina (a plankton extract to help boost skin’s natural defenses to UV-and heat-induced stress) It’s a very thin and milky formula and sinks in nicely. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin like a lot of other mineral sunscreens that I’ve tried. The finish is matte and smooth. My face has zero irritation with this one and feels very protected. I don’t experience any eye stinging. It does have a very minimal whitecast on my skin tone. I usually can’t handle a whitecast but with this one I can look past it because it’s more breathable than other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. Plus it’s very minimal. They also have a tinted version (Physical Fusion UV Defense) that looks nice too. Overall I love it !hope.d

I really enjoy this sunscreen. It’s a high-end brand, so I knew it would be a small bottle even before I looked at the product page for product size (1 oz for $35 USD). My dermatologist recommends 5%+ zinc oxide for sunscreens, so while I’ve been searching for sunscreen that’s my #1 requirement. This sunscreen has 6% titanium dioxide and 5% zinc oxide and SPF 50 so I tried it out when I picked up another product. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so it has to be able to work with it. I’ve been using it a week and so far I like it. I use the 3 finger rule for my face and neck, as I’m trying to focus on better skincare. If I do this and am not careful, I will get a white cast on my face and it’s noticeable – which is why the four stars. So I start with 1.5 fingers on my face and let that settle, add another half, and then the rest on my neck. It works well. It also works with my sensitive skin so far – no redness, burning, or tingling which is a good sign.alyxis.j

My skin is the first place where summer leaves its mark. During the summer months, I try to avoid lasers and chemical peels that can make me more photosensitive. How I treat my face and body during the hottest months will determine the condition of my complexion in the future. The easiest way to avoid pigmentation issues is to keep them at bay with sun protection. Wearing sunscreen will keep sunspots from darkening and prevent future ones from forming. Without sunscreen, I am wasting my time on other products. It is pointless to invest in skincare if my skin is not protected from the sun. Mineral vs. chemical sunscreens, which should you choose? What's the difference between them? Both are advantageous in their own way, but since I have a history of melasma, I prefer mineral-based sunscreen since it deflects heat and contains no hormone-disrupting chemicals. Physical, mineral-based sunscreens also tend to have a higher zinc concentration, act as a physical shield, and sit on the skin to reflect ultraviolet rays. As the name implies, chemical sunscreens are made from chemicals absorbed into the skin. As a result, ultraviolet rays are converted into heat. This can be problematic for those who suffer from melasma or pigmentation problems since heat can exacerbate melasma. Additionally, chemical sunscreens may contain ingredients that disrupt hormones. Therefore, I avoid chemical sunscreens since hormonal imbalances and a sudden rise or fall in estrogen levels can trigger melasma. Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 from SkinCeuticals is one of my favorite sunscreens. It has a sheer tint and offers similar coverage to a tinted moisturizer. It helps to even out redness and dark spots and conceals small breakouts. Almost as good as a concealer and definitely as good as a tinted moisturizer. With its natural finish, I can use it all over as a sheer foundation. It's so lightweight and dewy that I can wear it on the hottest summer days (I live in Arizona, where the summers are brutal) without it caking on my face. Since Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is not a chemical sunscreen, I don't have to worry about it breaking down on my skin and causing irritation. This sunscreen is light enough for daily use, odorless, and water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, which makes it an excellent option for the beach or hiking. Since I started quarantining due to the pandemic, I rarely wear foundation, but this tinted sunscreen keeps my skin looking refreshed and glowing. Usually, I pair it with clear brow gel and call it a day, but you can easily apply a layer of foundation on top of it. It is recommended that you wait 15 minutes before applying makeup over sunscreen. I can wear sunscreen on a sweaty run without worrying about any greasy residue running into my eyes. I like that it feels lightweight and has a beige undertone similar to my olive skin tone. However, I'm a little disappointed it only comes in one shade since not everyone will be able to experience how good of a sunscreen it is. The tint works well for my olive complexion and will probably be a good match for fair and medium skin tones, but it might look washed out for those with darker complexions. Verdict: The 1.7-ounce bottle costs $34, which is a bit more than your typical drugstore sunscreen, but if it helps protect your skin as it does for me, it's worth the splurge.menith.s

I really wanted to like this. And there are some good things about this product. But in the end, it’s a no from me. I received this product free from Necessaire. I am a huge fan of their products, and their new deodorant is one of few I found that works for me. So I was excited to try this. On first application of just a pea sized amount, I was amazed at how smooth the texture was. I also love that it’s unscented and doesn’t have that yucky sunscreen smell. But the cast, oh the cast. It’s just unacceptable. I’m glad they don’t market it as sheer, but it’s hardly workable even on my NC 42 skin tone. It takes a ton of blending to make it somewhat presentable on the face, and while I’m glad this didn’t irritate my eczema, the end result was less than stellar. I even tried it on my body, but the white case was super noticeable. Unfortunately this is a miss for me.Juicesnberriez

I am a sunscreen junkie, so I was looking forward to seeing how I would get on with this new one from Necessaire. I tried it on my face and body and was pleased that I only experienced a smooth application with zero irritation. Pleasant smell and texture and coverage. I appreciate that this is a mineral sunscreen and it felt hydrating and looked nice. The ingredients list is impressive and I found the price tag extremely reasonable for how high quality this product was for me. Please note that this isn’t water proof or sweat proof. This isn’t what I would wear to the pool, but definitely an every day SPF. The bottle and dispenser is great, too. I would use more than 1/2 pump and also I have fair skin so I didn’t have an issue with white cast. I do prefer higher than 30 SPF, but I bet it would give a strong white cast if it was 50? Anyway, overall a nice option that a lot of people will likely enjoy.amygirl3540

This is a great sunscreen for more individuals (like me) that have dry + sensitive skin. I have always had issues with chemical sunscreens causing irritation when used on my face (particularly around the eyes + on/around the lips). This 100% mineral SPF causes me zero irritation whatsoever, and leave your skin with a healthy glow. 2 things I noticed however that are important to note are that if I use it on top of certain serums, I noticed it does pill. It also pills if I use pore-blurring/mattifying primers on top of it. I did find however that I can press tinted powder-based mineral SPF on top of it without any pilling. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just more of a need to know how to use the product to avoid pilling. Lastly, it does leave a white cast (even on my already light skin), however this isn’t an issue after it absorbs more and you lightly press on it before applying a tinted spf powder on top of it. All in all, I enjoy this product, however have tried a couple other 100% mineral sunscreens recently that I’ve enjoyed just as much without having to worry about the pilling issue. I do see this being a holy grail product for individuals with dry/sensitive + fair skin tones that are not really applying anything on top it this!austenparker598
