One of my favorites
This sunscreen is so nice. I didn't breakout, and didn't burn after being in the sun all day and forgetting to reapply. It didn't leave me feeling greasy and it goes well over moisturizer and under makeup. I find mineral sunscreen doesn't lead to redness, stinging or irritation the way chemical sunscreens sometimes do. I would recommend giving this a shot!

Love this Product
After doing an extensive amount of research and reading I chose this product for my mineral skincare. I love it. It goes on a little white but soaks in quickly and doesn't leave looking ghostly white. I'm also going to purchase this in the tinted version. Love it.

Great face sunscreen!!!
Love this sunscreen! I prefer the tinted version but this one is a great option for a non tinted sunscreen. I have dry skin so a moisturizer is needed before I apply. Super gentle and non irritating!

Superior sunscreen
I had written a review on the brand Image Skincare's moisturizer sunscreen, I thought that product was amazing until I found this!!! This is by far the best sunscreen I've ever used. This product feels like you are putting on a lightweight moisturizer. There is NO scent at all (which I think is why I strayed away from my Image Skincare sunscreen). It's completely mineral based and made for post procedure and sensitive skin. I have not worn this under a full face of makeup yet, however, I do wear it under my "daily" face which just consists of concealer and mascara and it performs beautifully. This will most definitely be my "go to" sunscreen forever!! I pray this never gets discontinued because I've searched for such a long time and have spent so much money trying to find the best sunscreen for me, and this is it!!!

FAV MINERAL SUNSCREEN
THE BEST OF THE BEST MINERAL SUNSCREENS. This does not leave a white cast. Very comparable to Elta MD invisible sunscreen but this is BETTER. Why? BECAUSE IT IS A MINERAL SUNSCREEN.

The best mineral sunscreen
My absolute favorite 100% mineral sunscreen. Applies well over moisturizer, no white cast, and keeps me protected. The only other physical sunscreens that have achieved this for me are also part chemical. I have very sensitive/acne-prone skin and it has no caused any rash or caused me to break out.

Great product
Very lightweight. Doesn't feel like you are wearing sunscreen. Doesn't leave a white cast. Doesn't have a scent either.

Great for acne-prone & sensitive skin!
I just finished my 4th bottle and feel obligated to write a review here. I have extremely acne-prone skin - tons of clogged pores/closed comedones, rarely any red inflamed ones though. My natural skin is not sensitive at all, but as a result of Tretinoin, it is constantly red and reactive, and sometimes even burnt to touch. It is also constantly peeling off with small dry patches hanging everywhere... This sunscreen doesn't clog my pores, doesn't cling to any dry patches (actually kinda help hide them), and never burns my skin even at its worst. The only teeny tiny itch I have is its viscosity. The thick white cream is hard to spread around. I have to dot it on to my face and pat them out, which takes time and can get annoying in the morning. Even from a functionality perepective, it is harder to apply as evenly and thoroughly as compared to other "fluider" products, which is essential for spf application. That's why the 4 star, but it's still great and I will keep using until finding a substitute.

First Impression
I am SO picky when it comes to my sunscreen. Either theres a white cast, it's too sticky, or it pills, it's difficult to find a mineral sunscreen that checks off all the boxes.. Until now... This sunscreen is amazing. I just used it for the first time this am and am shook! No white-cast, no pilling- just a smooth, satin, finish. I wish the SPF was 50, but I'll take 35!!!!! If you have sensitive skin, and have trouble finding a good sunscreen.... here you go!

Wonderful sunscreen
I had a facial procedure in June 2019, and the doctor gave me some Skin Medica Mineral Sunscreen SPF 35. I love it. It never drips in my eyes, goes on lightly, and has virtually no odor. I have purchased more of it and use it everyday under my moisturizer. I just saw they also have a tinted variety. I am excited to use the tinted in the summer when I wear less makeup.
