Reviews For CoTZ Face Prime & Protect SPF 40 - Tinted
My 6th tube
I live most of the year in Mexico in the sun and this is the best facial sunscreen. It goes on super smooth, covers small imperfections and stays on through sweating and swimming and doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts. It will rub off on clothes or towels so be aware. Comes off easily with makeup remover towelettes.

LOVE this primer
I love this primer. It's truly my all-in-one solution. I don't like wearing makeup, and have pretty resilient skin. BUT - I want sunscreen as protection daily. So I've used this as my sunscreen and makeup everyday. No need for foundation or concealer...sometimes a little lip color, but that's it! It's very matte finish (even after 12+ hours) and blends into my skin really nicely. Never looks white, but is still zinc ingredients. I do notice I have to wash my face twice at night to get it off, but I like that part... it means the sunscreen is still there at the end of the day! Overall, love love this stuff!

Good product
I've been using this product for several years. It's not greasy and goes on easily. It's easy to take along and, although, the tube does not look big, it lasts a long time.

The Blend
I’ve used numerous SPF creams,ointments, and sprays in the past 27 years. COTZ ( recommended by my dermatologist) has been the protection I have used for several years. The coverage and durability ( one application per day) are superlative. My favorite attribute for the tinted face primer I use is the ease and feel of applying it. There isn’t any noticeable oil in it hence it doesn’t feel greasy at all and no burning around the eyes at the end of the day. The tinted version blends in with my natural skin color so it’s hard to tell if it’s on my face. The other products I’ve used in the past made my face shine. I look forward to con continued use and new formulas.

Best tinted face sunscreen!
My dermatologist recommended Cotz as a great sunscreen. The best thing is that it comes as a primer + SPF 40 protection. A little bit goes a long way and I absolutely love this product. I use it religiously every day rain or shine and need no extra foundation in the summer. I do use compact foundation in the fall and winter after applying Cotz for an extra finish look.

CoTZ Face Primer & Suncreen
I love this Sunscreen as I'm older and foundation just accentuates my wrinkles. I use CoTZ matte tinted sunscreen and it gives me a little color and protects me from the sun.

Best Sun Protection
This is the best facial sun protection I've found. It goes on silky smooth. No greasy feel. I live in Florida and had to have a face peel due to sun damage. This cream does the trick in protecting my face from further damage. The tinted version smooths out my complexion and blends in nicely, even with my fair skin. I highly recommend it.

Great Sun Protection!
I love this product. I wish only it came in a bigger tube, but the silky feel and matte finish makes it a lovely sun protection for my face!

Great primer with SPF!
I love how great this primer feels on my face. It helps to even out my skin tone and helps my foundation glide on my face. And the SPF of 40 is a wonderful bonus.

Weird smell
This is my go to sunscreen and I love it. However, this particular one I received has a weird smell. It’s not expired, so I’m not really sure where the unpleasant smell comes from. I wished I could have exchanged it for new one. Other than that, it’s a a great mineral sunscreen for oily skin. It doesn’t leave a white cast on me.

Great protection without irritation
The tint on this one is perfect. Not orange-y, not too dark, no white hue. I have a light olive skin tone and this blends perfectly. I've never used a primer before and don't wear make-up, but after reading reviews, this seemed like the best choice. So happy I tried it! Much better than other mineral sunscreens. Alos, I have extremely reactive/sensitive skin and this caused no break-outs or irritations!

NICE DISCOVERY
This is a good multi-purpose product. It's a sunscreen with a high spf plus it serves as a smooth makeup base. It's a beach and city staple!

Not good for dark skin
Left a major cast on my face. I legit looked purple I couldn’t even keep it on to see if it had the mattefying effect.

My favorite sunscreen!
I can't be bothered with coverup, but tinted sunscreen is my jam! I actually mix this shade with the untinted from COTZ, as the color is too dark/orange for my skin on its own. Half and half looks great though, and I absolutely love the coverage - it goes on smoothly and subtly evens out skin tone. You can add more for more sun protection and more coverage. It does tend to rub off on the collars of my coats in winter, sometimes I use a bit of sunscreen powder to "set" it and that seems to work.

Oxidizes
Love the texture and feel (silky soft!) Has the perfect amount of coverage. Excellent for my sensitive, rosacea and fungal acne skin. Only problem other than the price is that it oxidizes. I'm fair with cool pink tones and this sunscreen turns my skin slightly orange. I'm giving this product a 4 star rating because I haven't found an affordable alternative.

Very pleased.
I’ve searched for a long time to find a daily facial sunscreen like this! I relied on positive reviews and so would be remiss to not share how over the moon I am to have found this product. It ticks all of my boxes; mineral based, high SPF, sheer/non-oily, non-irritating and non-sticky. I have had breakouts with certain sunscreens, others have felt too oily or sticky to wear, but this feels so good on my face and has been so gentle on my skin. I’m so happy I can wear SPF on my face without second thought to any irritation. I’ve been using the product for four weeks and just reordered - it’s not running low yet but I don’t want to be without this for a day. Since I started using it I’ve actually not worn any facial makeup, as I really do like the tint effect. It’s subtle but just enough to even the skin. INCREDIBLE! It washes off pretty easily; I wouldn’t say it’s drying as such but I do feel that the more moisturized my face is from the night before (PM moisturizer/serum), the easier it goes on to the skin. My face was really dry one day from the cleanser I use and forgetting to moisturize and it was a little hard to rub the sunscreen into my skin. But I think this is a great motivation to remember to moisturize! My one question mark is around whether this would work for darker skin tones. I am Caucasian, olive skinned, but I am always mindful of supporting companies that embrace the diversity of skin colors so if this wasn’t to work with brown/black skin this would be a great shame and would encourage me to look to support another company more representative.

A Barrier Against Shine!
This sunscreen offers a lightweight, oil free protection against sunburn, but what makes it special is the oil absorbent properties which leaves you with a matte finish without the white glow. Other than maybe being a bit too drying (mix it with a bit of oil free moisturizer) this is great product to use daily.

Skin of color Friendly
This is perfect for my medium dark skin. I have oily skin and it mattifies my T-zone perfectly. It also applies great if I'm wearing powder or liquid foundation. No white cast for me which is what I need since all I can do is mineral sunscreen due to sensitivity. I highly recommend.

Such a great product
This is such a nice product. The tint is perfect. I put this on every morning. It has an awesome blurring effect which is wonderful for normal to oily skin. I use it both independently or under make up. Definitely recommend.

Nice Mette finish, good coverage, works well alone or as primer under makeup.
I have dry skin and can wear it in the summer without moisturizer.
