Broke me out :(
I'm so disappointed. I've heard such great things about this product. It completely broke my skin out into tiny little red bumps (cheeks and forehead). The tint is also way to orangey. I won't be purchasing again.

Wanted to Like This
Prior to this sunscreen, I had been using Skinceuticals Physical Fusion sunscreen (tinted). My skin would get very shiny by the end of the day, so I made the switch to Physical Matte. The texture is like a grainy mousse, and it's hard to tell if you've applied enough product. It left a spotchy finish and although the other reviews say otherwise, it was difficult to blend out. I couldn't layer it with makeup either (with or without a primer). It was more mattifying than Physical Fusion, but certain parts of my face would still look oily by the end of the day (around the nose and forehead). I think I'd rather stick to Physical Fusion and apply a face powder afterwards to absorb the oil.

Not my Favorite
I did not like the smell or gritty texture of this product. I had heard such great things but sadly I had to return it.

Works like a champ!
This is a great product. I put it on next to last, after the other lotions and potions, but before makeup. Very happy with how well it works!

Definite new favorite
Lightweight, solid mattefying properties. Grainy texture at first but rubs on smoothly. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the product tends to sit on top of skin and can be difficult to blend. Make sure all your previous products are fully absorbed prior to application. Doesn't break me out and helps my skin look calmer.

Best tinted facial SPF!
I am a sunscreen nut! I have tried many tinted sunscreens and none go on as smoothly as SkinCeuticals Physical Matte. Many others I have tried, leave the face looking cakey, this does not. I love the fact that it is SPF 50 too. I am outdoors quite frequently riding horses and have found it works perfectly for me with just one application before heading out the door. I have been impressed with SkinCeuticals products for many years and this product does not disappoint.

decent results
I've used this a few times over make up and moisturizer and feel that it moves around a bit on my face. I have oily skin to begin with so on top of moisturizer and makeup its somewhat expected. The tinted aspect blends really well with my skin providing coverage with out looking like makeup. The texture is a bit quirky and feels like its a mild exoliant but goes on smooth and matte. I think it will be a good addition to my summer skincare routine when I'm out in the sun and not wearing those additional layers of makeup and moisturizer.
