Good sunscreen
I don't use sunscreen much because I am always sensitive to over the counter sunscreen products. I purchased this product and have been using it ever since. No break out, no irritation. It works wonder on my skin! Love it!

matte finish
I purchased this sunscreen on a whim. The tint works great on my medium skin and I usually wear this on weekends when I don't want to wear a full face of make up. I like that it leaves my oily skin matte and haven't broken out on this as yet. I would be re-purchasing this.

Yessss, this is nice
The MOUSSE texture is amazing. Applies on the face perfect and its tinted so theres no white sheen. Its really soft and velvety too. I have brown skin and it surprisingly doesnt show too much for a physical sunscreen. The only downside is the cost.

Love all Skinceutical Sun screens!
This product is very much like the physical defense sunscreen in the bottle. They both work very well and are tinted so that you do not have to wear a foundation makeup which is great in summer months! Always buy this brand of sunscreen and especially love the one made for around the eyes-no burning at all if it gets into your eye and great protection!

Love this sunscreen
I have sensitive skin and after having several sunburns on my face in my teens and 20s when I would bake in the sun without any sunscreen, I now religiously use sunscreen especially on my face. I have tried several facial sunscreens and this by far my favorite. It goes on smoothly, blends well and has a nice matte finish. Plus, it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

perfect for my needs
I am reordering this for the second time from the Dermstore. I love using just a little bit of this over a zinc oxide sunblock. It goes on smoothly everywhere and adds just a touch of color and matte finish with extra protection.

The Absolute Best 2-in-1 Sunscreen/Foundation
Ugh, I love this stuff! I have no idea how I went so long without this. After very aggressive microneedling and photofacial treatments to get rid of acne textural and pigmentation scars, I was told sunscreen was an absolute, 100% must everyday. I love to tan and love having beautiful, dark skin but to avoid the resurfacing of dark spots and wrinkles, I could no longer do what I had done for so many years. Enter sunscreen. They have a terrible reputation of being chalky white, thick and greasy, and with my already oily complexion, this is no-no! I was recommended SkinCeuticals since I am already on a multitude of their products. They are clean, non comedogenic, and this one has a lovely tint instead of the typical white cast. It is also mattifying, which helps with my oily skin, especially in the summer. I apply about a pea size to my index finger, rub it together with my fingertips and apply to my face. I then use a sponge to dab it into my nose and chin crease and voila, I already have a beautiful foundation. Depending on my mood or how good I think I look, I may use a bit more foundation on a brush, but not much else. On lazy days, this stuff is beautiful. It is a smaller bottle than other SkinCeuticals sunscreens, but it goes a long way and again, blends flawlessly. It looks dark when it leaves the bottle, but blends with any skin color I have, summer to winter. I love that this has a great color, is a physical sunscreen versus chemical, and is protecting the huge investment I put into my face. I have tried other SkinCeuticals sunscreens but they seem to have a gritty texture, lack the great tint and coverage, and inevitably I use more to try to replicate this product. I love this! No other sunscreen will do.

I love this!
I received a sample of the sunscreen with another purchase and loved it from the first application. Finally, a sunscreen product that isn't sticky! The texture is mousse like but not oily. My skin breaks out with so many sunscreen products but has been clear since I switched to this one. The coverage is light but is just enough for me for days I don't want to wear makeup. I will definitely reorder.

Awesomely smooth but pricey
This sunscreen is lightweight, light coverage and feels amazing when you put it on. However, it's pricey for the size- about 1oz. If you need a little extra coverage for blemish scars or deep freckles, like me, a tube doesn't last long! However, it is the nicest SPF 50 I've tried. Definitely recommend!
