Reviews For ISDIN Photo Eryfotona Actinica Daily Lightweight Mineral SPF 50+ Sunscreen
My dermatologist recommended this
My derm recommended this sunscreen for my face. I always wear sunscreen, but she wanted me to try this as I was still getting some precancers on my face (and elsewhere). So far, so good. Very lightweight, elegant texture. Fine under makeup. Thank you LovelySkin for making this affordable with sales and rewards.

Isdin Photo
I am at a high risk for skin cancer because of family history, and my own history of pre-cancers, and one squamous cell carcinoma, which was successfully treated. I asked my dermatologist to recommend a sunscreen to use on my sensitive skin, especially just after treatments, and she recommended Isdin Eryfotona Actinica. I use it every day unless it's raining, and highly recommend it. It is light and goes on very smoothly. Because I have light skin, I choose to use the untinted. I do not feel it leaves a white cast. For everyday I don't feel a need to use makeup over it. When I want to cover up imperfections, I use a little liquid makeup over the sunscreen. The makeup goes on smoothly over the Isdin, and my face still doesn't have that feel or look of being heavily made up. The best thing about the product, though, is the darker spots on my face have been fading, and on subsequent appointments with the dermatologist I have not had new pre-cancers. I have skin damage on the cellular level from a childhood in a very sunny climate, and know that new pre-cancers are likely to appear again. But I do see a definite improvement since I've been using Isdin. I'm on my second bottle.

Great protective sunscreen!
This sunscreen is one of the best I've tried! It is silky smooth and easy to apply. I like that it protects against AK's. Due to the price, I generally only use it on my face. As a facial sunscreen, it is affordable and should last a long time. If using as a body sunscreen, It would also be wonderful, but very expensive. Love it!!

Overhyped
This sunscreen is very thin and silky and I keep repurchasing it. There is no white cast and I have a light complexion. The reason for 3 stars is that I don’t notice that it evens my skin tone or any long-term benefits. I just really enjoy the texture and that it doesn’t bother my rosacea. I would recommend it if you have extra money to spare and rosacea/sensitive skin. It does not prevent my skin from redness due to triggers.

Good protection
I have to always have sunscreen on. This is not a good match for very dry skin as it can make your skin look patchy but a good moisturizer prior to applying fixes that. I love that it spreads easily, very liquid and light formula. Smells like sunscreen and that doesn’t bother me. Good for lighter skin tones since I believe it can leave a bit of a cast depending on how moisturized your skin is. I feel very protected and haven’t been burned while using this.

IT IS OKAY...
I have been trying to find a SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. I saw this advertised at the aesthetic center to go to for facial treatments and other treatments. I thought I would try it. Overall, it is okay. Positive- it doesn't leave a white cast (that is my biggest issue with mineral sunscreens). I am very fair, too, so that was a plus. It didn't leave too much of a shine as I prefer more of a matte finish so that was a plus. The only negative is the smell. It smells like your typical sunscreen you would buy at the drugstore to wear at the beach or out in the sun- the kind that is for all over the body, not just the face. That is where I deducted two stars for this review. Will I buy this again? I am not sure. I wear it most days than not; I have previously found another sunscreen that I LOVE and still wear; however, it is more expensive and the bottle is half the size of this one. If you don't mind a typical sunscreen smell, definitely try this one!

Isdin mineral sunscreen
This is my 3rd bottle of Isdin Sunscreen. I really like the smooth texture on my face . Also, it's a good face sunscreen cream with high protection daily. Strongly recommend this sunscreen to my family members and friends.

This didn't work for me
I was so hopeful about this product but it didn't work for me. It pills no matter what I have on underneath (including no products). It also left a white cast on my pale skin and never dried down. My hair was getting stuck in it all day. What a waste of money!

I am impressed!
Isdin Lightweight Mineral Sunscreen has become my favorite skincare product. As an outdoor exerciser, I put it to the test every day and it never fails to protect. It was recommended by my derm after she discovered pre-cancerous spot on my nose, so I feel confident I’m giving my skin the best possible protection. Love the finish too.. Very lightweight lotion that is a little whitish when first applied but very quickly absorbed. Try it, odds are you’ll really like it.

Excellent sun protection with minimal greasy feeling
I've tried a multitude of sunscreens over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. It was originally recommended to me by my dermatologist - and I just love the non-greasy texture and lightweight feeling. It's also super easy to blend in, and a little bit goes a long way. Very happy with how long it lasts, too. Works great under foundation.

Excellent Ultralight Sunscreen
I have an amazing dermatologist. She's not only gorgeous, young and up to date with the latest for flawless skin, but she's great at everything that she does to her patients look great. She recommends this sunscreen. I have tried a lot of good brands. ISDIN is my latest and I am so far I am happy with it. What I truly care about is how well it protects my skin. It contains Zinc which is the most important ingredient in my sunscreen. It does goes on with a slight white cast, but fades into my skin. I give it a few minutes before I put on my tinted sunscreen and moisturizer. A great sunscreen is essential living down in South Florida. The sun is crazy strong all year round. Try ISDIN, I hope it works for you.

I had an allergic reaction to this product
Very disappointed! Unfortunately, I used this sunscreen on my face before playing tennis, and the next day I woke up with bumps all over my face. It took a week of medicine applied twice daily to clear up.

Best Sunscreen
100% mineral screen w/ SPF50! Can’t beat that. I have hilly sensitive skin and was told by my Derm to try this. Been using it for 9 months; and I love it.

Helping to lighten sun damage
I have very fair skin and even though I wear sunscreen everyday I have had some light sun damage to my cheek on the drivers side of my car and hands. I started using this product and have noticed that it is lighting the spots on hands somewhat. It takes a while and you need to be persistent. I am hopeful it will continue to to help my skin.

I love it for my arms.
I love that it's not greasy and spreads quickly because it is more liquid. A bonus is that it does not smell like regular sunscreen!!! I wouldn't give it five stars, though, because it leaves the appearance of a whitish layer, so I do not wear it on my face, but I still love to apply it to my arms daily.

Great Product!
Love this particular spf. For me it’s perfect for my aging, dry skin. I moisturize, apply iSDN, then my foundation. It leaves a bit of a dewy finish and I feel like it acts as primer for my foundations. There are some other highly touted SPFs, I’ve tried them all and this is the best for me!

Beautiful sunscreen but...
Beautiful sunscreen. Feels fantastic on the skin. I wear this sunscreen for walking and hiking in So Cal. I deducted two stars because it gives an awful white cast even though I rubbed it in and let it set. I have med skintone with yellow undertones. I should have purchased their tinted sunscreen.

Strong protection
I purchased for the DNA enzyme actinic damage repair but it is also a very strong sunscreen. It held up under intense sun exposure at the beach. This is my new go-to sunscreen for my face.

Not impressed.
I had high hopes for this as I love and use several other ISDIN products. There is something in this product that gave me a rash on my neck. I was disappointed.
