Really Nice Mineral Sunscreen

I really like this sunscreen. It's mineral, so you do have to spend more time rubbing it in to get rid of the slight white cast in, but it eventually does go away. It doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. My complaint with it though is that I have to triple cleanse my face at night or else my face isn't clean. So I do one oil cleanse and then two with my gel cleanser.

Best Sunscreen

I have tried many sunscreen' for my rosacea and sensitive skin. Skinmedica is by far the best my skin absolutely loves it.

A great sunscreen

My doctor suggested this sunscreen. It goes on smoothly and provides great protection. It is lightweight, sheer, applies evenly, and absorbs quickly. I love that it is oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic. The only drawback is that because of the packaging, I cannot tell how much is left in the bottle. It would be nice if there was a small strip on the side to show the level of the sunscreen.

As Expected!

As expected with mineral sunscreens that aren't tinted, this will leave a heavy white cast so unless you plan to use this with makeup or an added coloring, go with the tinted version! Also, this sunscreen does not wash off easily so this could be a good thing if you're out sweating

gentle but a little white cast

It is gentle. I will use it when my skin is sensitive. A little white cast but it's acceptable because it will use foundation after the sunscreen. No scent, which is great.

Gentle no sting or spf smell!

This is amazing post microneedling, post laser etc. then I started using it daily and it's wonderful. Doesn't have that sting feeling or smell like spf. Isn't greasy at ALL!

Decent Sunscreen Option

No white cast and doesn't clog my pores! Love that there's no fragrance. Works well on my sensitive skin.

Gentle and effective, but leaves white cast

This is a really gentle sunscreen that works great on even sensitized skin. That said, I am surprised at the comments that describe this sunscreen as elegant to apply and sheer - I do not quite agree. It leaves a significant white cast and takes quite some effort to blend in. I have very fair skin and it makes me look pretty ghostly unless I mix it with a bit of a BB cream or tinted sunscreen. I do really enjoy how it makes my skin feel, but I think worth noting the white cast.

Amazing but pricey

I hate how much I love this sunscreen. It's super lightweight, isn't drying, and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I have veryyy sensitive skin and can only use mineral sunscreens (instead of the more-irritating chemical sunscreens) and have tried dozens of them, but I have been having a hard time finding anything that I love.. I decided to incorporate a retinol into my routine so I wanted a sunscreen that wouldn't dry out my skin, especially during the initial retinol flaking/purging stage so I decided to try this one. I LOVE IT. The price kills me though.Although it kills me to pay $38 for a tiny bottle of sunscreen that I have to slather on my face multiple times a day, it truly is great. I do wish it had a slightly higher SPF though.

Leaves a white cast

It's a struggle to find good sunscreen for very sensitive dark skin. Sadly I could not use this because when applied it left a bad white cast. When I tried to wash it off I did notice that it seems to be waterproof though. I will try the tinted option.
