This mattifying, 100% physical sunscreen is formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to deliver high broad-spectrum UV protection with a shine-free, matte finish, even in the most humid temperatures.

Love that it's matte!
Loved the tinted sunscreen already but I love that I can now have the same quality and it be a matte sheen. I wear it daily in place of foundation and it's just the right amount of coverage. Winner!

Love this!
Use it everyday either under my makeup or on it's own if it's a no makeup kind of day. Goes on smooth and the matte finish makes my oily skin less shiny.

Almost Perfect!
I love this sunscreen. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is great. And it provides just enough coverage that I look professional without looking overly made up. I love that it's matte rather than dewy. It also doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin or make me breakout. I have never had an issue with the tint not matching my skin tone. My only complaint is that it is really hard to get the last of the product out of the tube, so I end up wasting a lot. If they could improve the packaging, this product would be perfect!

Non-irritating
Pros: tint prevents white cast, practically scent-free, smooth not tacky, and great for sensitive skin because it does not sting like Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense. Cons: does not absorb well when applied over Skinceuticals antioxidant serums and the tint transfers onto clothing so it will stain clothes if applied on the neck.

Not shiny but slippery, not for me
I bought this a while ago but just started using it this week. I'm not sure I'll finish the tube. It's matte in the sense that it's not shiny or dewy, but it is that slippery siliconey feel, like the MD Solarsciences or Cotz tinted sunscreens. There was a time when I liked that texture, but I don't now. This Skinceuticals, I believe offers good and stable sun protection, but I just find the texture difficult to work with. Even though it's "matte" I feel like I still need to powder over it, to set it in place. I don't have to do that with other sunscreens. I've used and liked the Skinceuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50, but it's not my favorite. That one is better for me, though. One thing to note, in the description of this product, it says "Zinc oxide blocks burning UVB rays, and titanium dioxide keeps UVA rays a safe distance from your skin." Zinc oxide is actually full spectrum, being a strong UVA filter as well as UVB, while titanium dioxide does not offer adequate UVA protection on its own. I don't know if this is Skinceuticals' description or Dermstore's, but it is misleading and should be corrected.
