Found my holy grail
When I tell you I have tried countless sunscreens, it’s truly an understatement. But I would do it again to find this gem! It’s perfection. Doesn’t make me oily, doesn’t break me out, doesn’t pill up, no white cast, doesn’t sting around the eyes, doesn’t have a smell, and doesn’t feel heavy. I love love love this sunscreen. I’ve already repurchased twice and plan to keep it always!

Fav sunscreen
I’ve tried them all. Elta md clear, sheer, restore, Revisions intellishade. I really like them all. And while I don’t believe skinmedica’s has additional skincare included in the sunscreen, like the other brands I mentioned, it layers well over my daily routine and I do not have any flaking or pilling. I also like the way it dries. After using some sunscreens I feel like my face is still moist throughout the day almost like it never dries or I could still wipe the sunscreen off. I do not have to worry about that with Skinmedica. It blends really well. Actually for a mineral only sunscreen it blends fantastically. I am fair complected but I have no trouble with the white not blending in completely. I also use this on the backs of my hands. Overall it has become one of my favorite sunscreens to wear. The best sunscreen is always the one you will apply everyday.

Fantastic product
This is a dream for sensitive - rosacea prone skin. I never used to wear sunscreen daily, but got a bad rosacea flare after having baby. Mineral is the way to go for so many reasons, but especially in rosaceaa. This sun screen does not have any white cast, goes on smoothly, and it actually makes my skin look better immediately after putting it on. I was breaking out a ton from the rosacea flare and this sun screen did NOT make things worse.

Unbelievably good mineral sunscreen
Of all high-end mineral sunscreens I've tried (colorescience, eltaMD, sente, skinceuticals, paula's choice, etc.), this is by far the most comfortable to wear.

I really like this sunscreen .. I does not break me out and doesn’t leave a white cast like other mineral sunscreens despite being medium brown skin.

Just ok sunscreen
This was just “Ok” sunscreen. The product goes on very white and takes a while for the white look to go away. I will stick with Elta Md

THE BEST FACIAL SPF EVER!!
I've tried several SPF's, however this is the BEST SPF EVER. This is the BEST for UVA & UVB rays protection, anti aging and hyperpigmentation / melasma. I use it every day. You will NOT regret this purchase. (Not every sunscreen is made the same!!) - MINERAL Shield - TSA friendly - Will NOT clog pores - Oil free, Paraben free, Hypoallergenic, Fragrance free -Active Ingredients ****Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide

Indoor spf
Nice texture, will blend into skin nicely. Doesn’t leave a white cast, but a light sheen. I use it as an indoors day spf since zinc oxide it’s not very high for this spf . I think the texture and performance is better then the “E” brand.
