Great sunscreen for sensitive skin
This physical sunscreen is great for my sensitive skin. It's lightweight, blends well, and does not make me breakout. It's best to apply immediately after you wash your face (helps reduce white cast effect). I don't even use a moisturizer before applying this sunscreen. I've tried many facial sunscreens and this is the best one so far. No white cast and oder!

Good mineral sunscreen
This is a very gentle mineral sunscreen and fits the criteria of what i was looking for. I wanted something that i can use after microneedling. However, i am considering on trying the tinted version next time since this sunscreen doesnt really blend out completely. I feel like the white cast from the sunscreen doesnt go away 100%. It works fine under make up, but i want something for when i dont wear makeup.

Good sunblock
I like that this product only uses physical sunblocks and does a really nice job disappearing on the skin. Keeps my skin well-protected.

The best!
This is the best sunscreen! It doesn't sting at all. I have the tinted and nontinted. They are both great for different reasons. The tinted can act as a light foundation and the nontinted leaves no white cast. They only drawback is the zinc/titanium dioxide are lower than 9%, which is usually recommended, but I'd rather use this and just reapply. It feels so nice going on. It's smooth but not greasy. I'm obsessed.

The best mineral sunscreen
Already on my 2nd bottle. Doesn't break me out at all. Perfect for sensitive acne-prone skin.

prefer the tinted version
I was going to order the tinted one but ended up ordering this by mistake. It's not bad at all. Compared with the tinted version, it kinda makes my skin feel a little dry in the middle of the day. It doesn't leave any white cast and easily blends in.

Leaves white cast
Renee from Gothamista Youtube channel recommended the tinted version of this item. I chose this non-tinted one thinking this might be more gentle on my skin. However it actually gave me a white cast - I am asian with a little bit tanned skin. But everything aside from that seemed fine. Texture was good too. So I am going back to her original advice and buy a tinted version to see if it works.

Great for sensitive skin
I have avoided using daily sunscreen for a long time because so many I've tried have broken me out. There is some SPF in my mineral makeup, but I started using BHA so I knew I needed to find a real sunscreen and stick with it. I picked this one after doing a lot of research. It goes on really smoothly as long as I'm well moisturized underneath, and it hasn't caused any break outs so far. It's not greasy, doesn't really leave a white cast, and doesn't smell too 'sunscreen-y'. It's pricey, but if it doesn't break me out, it's totally worth it to me. Wanting to try the tinted version after I finish this bottle.

Daily sunscreen
I use this sunscreen everyday. It goes on nearly sheer, it's not sticky, and best of all it's not a chemical sunscreen.

For sensitive skin
I use this lightweight cream to cover up slightly my sensitive post procedure skin. It covers the redness just a bit and I feel safe because it protects agains sun damage as well. The color matched my medium light skin tone but I think tinted moisturizers work for several tones.
