Reviews For ALASTIN Skincare SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with TriHex Technology
Nice sunscreen
I have been using the Alastin Hydratint sunscreen for a few years now at the advice of my dermatologist. It's a wonderful sunscreen (albeit maybe slightly too dark for me skin tone) but my skin is becoming drier and drier as I'm aging and I felt like the Hydratint was making me feeler dry. I thought I should try the alternative sunscreen that Alastin offers. I like it but don't love it. It's a completely different feeling sunscreen from the Hydratint. It has that dry, silicone feel that I've never really cared for. As far as Alastin sunscreens go, I do still prefer the Hydratint.

Love this sunscreen
I love this sunscreen, my dermatologist recommended this sunscreen, and for more than a year I have been using it. This sunscreen is great for post-procedure, dry, and normal skin. To me, it's like a moisturizer and sunscreen combined. After a few minutes, the minimal white cast diminishes. Overall great product; although, I wish that the SPF was higher

Nice product, but not sure about the value
This sunscreen works well, does not have a white cast, and has the velvety texture I have come to recognize with Alastin products. That said, it is very expensive for what you get and I’m having a hard time justifying the price. I typically use two other brands and find them to be just as good at a slightly lower price point for the volume.

Pretty Good
I have sensitized, post-procedure skin and I NEED a gentle sunscreen that does not irritate, is easy to apply and does not have a white cast. This is impossible to find. This sunscreen is one of the best I've found, but it doesn't meet all criteria. The best thing about it is it does not pill -- wow! That's a big accomplishment for physical sunblock. It's gentle, but it has slightly stung and irritated my skin on a few occasions. It does leave a white cast, which fades out after about 2-3 hours. I don't reapply -- who has time for that? Sunscreen is just so frustrating. The white cast is it's blotchy, whereas other the white cast on other sunblocks have a more even appearance. So disappointing that we have to settle for a blotchy white cast just to protect our skin.

Really disappointed
I fully regret this purchase. It doesn't soak into the skin, it just sits on top like a slimy film that never dries down, and I feel like my skin can't breathe. The texture reminds me of mdss sunscreens, but if I want a slimy sunscreen I would just buy that one since it's cheaper and has higher spf lol. At this price point and relatively low spf, I was expecting something more cosmetically elegant. Based on the ingredients this is mostly a tube of silicone with some zinc added, I don't know how the price is justified. There's much better zinc-based sunscreens out there, I would skip this one.

Truly silky!
This sunscreen lived up to the description and some of the reviews. It glides on easily and leaves a very smooth surface, not tacky or greasy and the white cast disappears by working the product into the skin. I’m happy I chose this one!

Silky smooth
I love this product!! This does not feel or smell like a sunblock. It’s hydrating and gives your face a nice glow. So happy I discovered Alastin sunscreen.
