Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Great SPF BUT...
I heard raves about Colorscience for a while. I decided to venture away from my usual BB cream and try the Colorscience FLEX in Medium. I have to say the color-changing formula is impressive. Not a dead on match but close enough. The product is more of a liquid than a cream. I pour some on the back of my hand and then spread it on my face. The coverage is fantastic. I did not need any concealer or to top it with a foundation. The Colorscience FLEX really covers all of your imperfections and gives it a baby-smooth effect. Here is where my small problem lies- on my skin, I felt like it never dried down. I looked like a shiny disco ball. I tried adding some setting powder but the shininess was still there. Keep in mind, I do wear my regular moisturizer and a separate SPF cream underneath the FLEX. This is just my normal routine. Perhaps if I used a primer underneath it would have helped some but I did not want to keep adding more and more products. I will save this FLEX for beach days or outdoor excursions. Overall, I do like the product. It has some beneficial skin ingredients and its SPF 50. Oh, remember to use an oil cleanser of some sort since this product is water-resistant and can be more tedious to remove.

Liked this well enough to re-purchase
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 in fair is a good match for my complexion, without looking yellow or orangey. It gives a decent finish, and holds up well to the extreme heat we've been experiencing (I necessarily spend a lot of time outside). I took a star off because I'm not crazy about have to rub the product in, and it's a good but not exceptional finish. I bought another bottle, which is saying something for me.

I really like the tint
I love how this product applies and blends into skin, as well as the shade options. The medium is great for my medium tan skin. I am nervous this will start to break my skin out though because there are some pore clogging ingredients.

Great product!
By far my favorite color-correcting SPF. LOVE the texture- goes on very silky but dries down (I like a matte finish- not dewy). Not at all greasy. It comes out of the tube white but somehow magically does color-correct. No white cast for a mineral sunscreen. Only deducting a star because it’s not the best if you are out in the direct sunlight and playing sports/etc. In the future would use a sunscreen with hire zinc oxide content for days I’m playing sports.

Still prefer the classic
I have combination skin that tends to be oily, so I thought that this would be perfect for me - however, I feel like this one emphasizes dry patches more than the original. I still like it, but feel that the original Sunforgettable product works best for my skin.

Good, not great
I decided to try this since I love the classic Colorscience Sunforgettable SPF 50, but find the tint a tad too dark for me. The color of the flex in light is spot on about a minute after I apply it, but it looks kind of heavy and flat. Definitely not throw-on and go since I have to add some blush and eye makeup to not look "flat." On the upside, it could replace foundation on good skin days, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the description does say medium coverage. It also lasts all day and touch ups with the Colorscience powder works well. I have tried mixing it with the classic to sheer it a bit, and I don't recommend doing that. This product did not irritate my skin so I will definitely use it up, but not sure it I will repurchase.

Colorescience Flex SPF 50
I did like this formula and it matched my skin tone and I had no issues with the wear, however, I was just looking for more of a dewy/glowy look, similar to how the original formula is along with a tint. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars. If you are looking for a more tinted natural non-dewy finish it is a very good choice. I have used other colorescience products and I love them all!

I like it
I like this although it can be quite thick and mask like. I have to use a beauty blender to dopple it on my skin because if I rub it too much it gets too dark and yellow. It is nice as a makeup dupe!

Great product -- feels like a makeup
I like but do not love this sunscreen. I'm somewhere between the light and medium and have to mix the two to get the right shade. It provides what I consider to be full coverage. It looks nice on my skin and provides great sun protection, but sometimes comes off on my clothes which I find a little frustrating. I prefer the Colorescience classic because it has slightly less coverage.

My second favorite sunscreen!
Honestly I do love Colorescience sunscreens! I am aware they’re rather expensive but they feel really good & I do need a high SPF considering I live in very hot climates! The tint was a bit dark for me so I usually mix it with their untinted sunscreen! Only issue is: it leaves a bit of a stain if U’re wearing clothes with a round, high neck! I suggest covering your face with a tissue after application & gently patting to remove excess product!

A great sunscreen with minimal tint. Doesn’t cause break outs on my sensitive skin either

Great coverage
This is the best coverage and a high quality sunscreen. My only complaint is that it rubs onto my clothes/fingers throughout the day.

My go to
I wear this everyday instead of foundation. It has better coverage and bendability than most other tinted SPFs I've tried. Only complaint is that I have to wipe off the color before I reapply.

Blurs imperfections
Positives - does seem to blur imperfections and has environmental protection. Fair shade slightly too light

Great
This is a great replacement for the foundation. The only reason it is not a 5-star is that I don't think it will be great for reapplication. It is like foundation coverage, so you can wear it every day.

Good product
It’s a good product but some of the product was stuck in the face mask. I love the color

Good but a little messy
The color is activated when it touches your skin - it comes out white. It blends nicely and isn't greasy but the color gets on your clothes immediately if you sweat at all.

Okay
Really wanted to love this stuff, but I don’t. Some days I think it’s great and other days not so much. I need moisturizer under everything and I can’t figure out what works best with it. I’m in between the fair and medium and it’s annoying to carry both to mix when travelling.

Awesome product
The product is excellent, but pricy for the small amount you get.

Mostly great, wish colors were more adaptive
I love everything about this sunscreen except that no single color matches my skin tone. I buy the fair and medium shades and mix them together and the color is perfect.
