Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Works well with my oily, acne-prone skin
I have been using this for about a month now and like it a lot. I have oily/acne-prone skin and am very sensitive to new products. This doesn't break me out! I love that it's medium to full-coverage. On days when I only have 5min to get ready, this has replaced my foundation and gives me that glowy, no makeup, makeup look. I ordered the medium and it matches perfectly to my tan, yellow undertone skin. Why I knocked off a star... -This isn't transfer-resistant. I usually set it with my powder and it stays put when I don't have a mask on. With a mask, it'll rub right off and you'll need to reapply. -It has a heavy feeling. I can feel it sit on top of my skin which may bother most people especially if you live in a hot, humid climate. -It will cling onto dry patches.

Great for re-applying or makeup use
The first time I used this product as a sunscreen (Applied 1/4tsp) I thought it looked too heavy and makeup-y, but when I applied it over another sunscreen, I really liked it. This product is perfect for touchups and likely gives more protection than the spf powder does. Love the high UVA coverage and I will repurchase!

Favorite daily SPF
As someone who wears spf 35-50 every day, this product is my favorite. I’ve tried them all! My skin tone is very fair, so the light shade blends seamlessly. Obsessed.

Great Tinted Sunscreen!!!
Colorescience came through again. This product is amazing. It’s light coverage, tone matching, and sun protection. My face loves it and it makes me feel pretty. I have sensitive skin and have tried several other tinted facial sunscreens. All others ended in disappointment, either breakouts or rash. I hope this works for you.

Best Sunscreen Ever
This sunscreen for your face is amazing. It blends in to you skin tone very nicely, isn't sticky or greasy and gives your face a healthy glow. Will purchase again.

Mixed bag
I love this brand and couldn't wait to try this new sunscreen! It is mineral, SPF 50 and PA ++++! It really is a great formulation. It didn't spread on my face as smoothly as expected however, and created immediate flakiness wherever my skin was slightly dry. The Fair color was too light, and the next shade, Medium, was too dark (that's a lot of $ spent to not be able to use on my face!). I think this may be excellent for someone with normal to oily skin who is looking for more coverage in a sunscreen and can find a suitable shade.

Adjusting
New to Sunforgettable Face Shield, so started with Bronze and Glow. Thought I would try Flex to see if it were better and worth the extra $6. After trying Flex (Tan), I can honestly say I prefer the others. Flex needs to be rubbed between your fingers before applying and turning into the tinted color I expected. In doing so, it gets all over the sides of my fingers, etc. and is, therefore ,messier and trickier to apply. It is also runnier, and stays “wet” feeling after application. This tint is a little too dark for me. I think my tone is a blend of Bronze and Glow, but I can get away with wearing either and it looks fine/sets up smooth.

Great protection
First of all I wanted protection in a light tinted base. Since I love this product in fair, I decided to try this new protection. Of all the sunscreen products, for me, Color Science works the best.

Perfect!
I have fair cool toned combinations skin with some pregnancy melasma and I LOVE this product! I have the lightest shade (as always) and it matches perfectly and has great coverage. It’s a great step up from my ilia tinted super serum. I actually wear this over EltaMD Clear tinted sunscreen when I plan to be outside a lot but I wear it on its own as well. I heard a few people say this was oily but I haven’t found it to be so. I do dust a light layer of SPF powder over the t-zone and use a powder blush. It will rub off my nose with the mask on, but other than that it wears beautifully. I will happily keep purchasing this.

Good product, Colorscience has not disappointed yet.
It does change color on the skin... it is slightly yellower than I expected but that is ok. next time around I might mix it with the matte sunscreen.

The very best!
I like this sunscreen. Great formula. No white cast. After 2 layers I don’t need a foundation, beautiful glowing skin without oily sensation. Highly recommended.

Waxy & Very Light Color
The color was too light for my very fair skin. I also found the finish to be waxy. I love most Colorscience products, but this one fell short.

Fantastic!
This exceeded my expectations! I am medium olive toned and ordered the tan. It blends so well & dries matte. Makeup blends over it with no pilling. It’s my new favorite tinted sunscreen.

Oily and chalky
This is the only sunscreen from Colorescience that I do not love. It is feels goopy thick on the skin and oily. I will keep using the Total Protection PA+++ and Total Protection Glow versions that I combine to get a match for my skin color (those make me look beautiful). This smudged and smeared on my eye glasses and cellphone and does not make me look beautiful. For reference I have very fair Asian skin and get compliments on my skin but I will not go out with this one on. I will not buy again.

Decent sunscreen
This sunscreen offers great UVB and UVA sun protection and I like how it perfectly matches my skin color. That being said, for my combination skin, I don't think it's a good summer sunscreen because it leaves a shiny, oily finish (without ever really drying down). It got shinier and oiler as the day progressed. After reapplying twice a day, it didn't feel heavy, but it didn't feel as lightweight as my favorite tinted mineral sunscreen. I think this would work for someone with dry skin, or it could be a great winter sunscreen with moisturizing benefits.

Great! Not as good as Elta MD tinted but...
They are neck and neck! This stuff goes on white and slowly melts to the color of your skin without a white cast. The coverage is the same as Elta MD tinted but it gets a little more oily as the day progresses. Still a FANTASTIC product that I will keep in my skincare arsenal. A little goes a LONGGG way and this product will last for a long time. For the amount of product you receive, considering the price, this is pretty incredible.

Move over foundation!
My dermatologist told me I needed a tinted mineral spf with iron oxides as it would be best for my hyperpigmentation, skin tone and because I use tretinoin. She suggested elta md but after looking at several of videos on YouTube I didn’t feel confident that I wouldn’t have issues with having a cast or pilling. Out of nowhere, colorescience came through for the win. If you are looking for phenomenal mineral spf protection with buildable coverage that can replace your foundation look no more. I have been searching high and low for a medium to full coverage complexion product that was a chemical spf of at least 30. I was willing to settle for chemical in order to avoid a white, gray, purple or blue cast. No settling needed. I am a Mac NC 45 for reference. I ordered tan and deep to be on the safe side. If you are my shade just get tan. I would say NC 47 should be able to get away with tan as well. I am keeping deep to contour or I may let my little sister try it and give it to her if she likes it. She is a Mac NW 45. I wish this came in at least one additional shade called Dark for those with the deepest of skin tones so more people could experience this. I also wish this was transfer resistant. If it was this product would be my forever foundation. But other than that this product is perfect.
