Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 PA++++
love hate relationship
Not 100% mineral, they use an unregulated chemical sunscreen: butyloctyl salicylate, it's found in many "elegant" sunscreens, that is how they get to spf 50. I like it because it is light enough not to give me the dreaded orange look and offers some coverage too. If you use the right amount, a quarter teaspoon it is very shiny on my combo skin :(

Not a Fan
I am not a fan of this sunscreen, the sun protection is good. However, it settles in the pores and makes them look very obvious while somehow still laying on top of the skin, it never soaks in properly. I have since switched to another Colorsciense sunscreen without color added and it's fantastic. So it's just this particular product that is not that great.

My New Favorites Sunscreen
I waited for several months before writing this review just to make sure that I was as enthusiastic about this tinted sunscreen as was initially. I am 72 years old, Caucasian and really like this product as I can use it instead of foundation most of the time. If I am going to a formal occasion, I can mix it with a touch of foundation.

Colorscience Sunforgettable SPF 50
A great product! I never leave the house without this on my face. Light feeling and blends in well. All Colorscience products are a must in my cosmetics collection.

Good for sensitive skin
Just bought my second bottle. It feels light but gives some coverage. I like the glow since my skin can look dull. Gives enough glow that my skin looks healthy. Not too much that can be mistaken for oil. My skin is super sensitive and have to be extremely careful what I use. I have not had breakouts from this product.

Love Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 50
This sun shield is the best. It works all day long and it is moisturizing for me. I will continue to use this product all year long. Love it!

Very pleased with purchase
I've been searching for a really nice sunscreen that doesn't irritate my sensitive, acne-prone skin while I'm working with a naturopathic doctor to get to the root of my acne. While this is a little too moisturizing for my skin right now (I can't say it made my acne worse, but I suspect it did contribute to some more clogged pores), it's a really nice option that I have used many times when I'm going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time. It is definitely hydrating, has not irritated my skin at all, and provides a nice glow and sheer color tint. If you have oily skin I do not think you would like this, but for more dry skin it would be a great option. Coverage is more sheer but I've also used it under Bare Minerals powder and it sits nicely (I use a makeup pad/sponge and not the brush for blending, FYI).

The best sunscreen I've tried but a little shiny
Doesn't flake or get patchy later on but it is a bit shiny after a few hours. The way I fix this is by dabbing a piece of paper to absorb the oil. Otherwise, it's perfect

Goes on very very easily and you will glow but you will be shiny!
I used this tinted SPF when I go hiking on the weekends. I'm out there for a few hours and it seems to be working. I do go a bit early so the sun's UV is not as strong, so there's that. You have to shake it before using it. And it glides on. But you will look like a grease ball. A pretty grease ball but shiny none the less. It works great for exercising but it would not be a product I would use to go out with friends.

Perfect Glow
I love the smooth texture of this product. When my skin is properly hydrated it blends in. It's a good color for me, I don't look too ashy.

Just OK
I was not a huge fan of this Glow Sunscreen. It's very thick and no matter how much I blend it in (I started using a beauty blender), I feel like it just stays on top of my skin and clings to every pore.

Amazing!
Love this tinted spf. I’ve tried soo many and had this as a sample. This not only has a high spf but it helps to even put my skin tone and some days I skip foundation all together.

Whims
I’m sorry to say I didn’t care for this product I like there other products but negative on the total protection 50 maybe the sunscreen works but it left my skin so oily and it really didn’t give me any coloring or tinting it just was greasy and shiny oil skin - ugh

Highly recommend Colorscience Sunscreen
I have been using Colorscience Unforgettable Total Protection Sunscreen for many years and I highly recommend this product. I am 78 years old and have sensitive skin and mineral sunscreen works best for me. In addition I have had several bouts with basal cell carcinoma on my face and my dermatologist recommended this sunscreen. I also find that using this sunscreen allows me to go without foundation. In addition I also use an additional Colorscience sunscreen product specifically for the eye area because of my skin sensitivity. It is so good because it also acts as an under eye concealer.

Not For Medium Tan Skin
Its too pale for my skin tone. I would not recommend this sunscreen for medium between tan skin. However, its very hydrating great for winter. Hopefully, they can come with medium tan sunscreens.

Love this Product
I am definitely a fan of Colorescience Sunforgetable Face Shield. The formulation is liquidy, not thick at all, and goes on easy and soaks in fast. Feels like I am just wearing a light moisturizer which I LOVE! I have combination skin, and it hasn’t caused me to break out. Definitely recommend.

Very heavy
This feels very heavy, slimy on my skin. Can't handle it in the summer. I have combo skin and think it would work best for someone drier.

Decent sunscreen, beware the "Glow"
I have very sensitive, rosacea prone skin. Also, I am allergic to most chemical sunscreens so rely on mineral/physical sunscreens. This one is ok. It works well as a sunscreen, although I do need to reapply more frequently than some others. I personally cannot wear makeup over it - the makeup slides around and creases - so I save this for outdoor activities rather than daily wear. I ordered the "glow" thinking it sounded like a great summer option. Well, at least on me, it gives my skin a very shiny appearance. Up close it looks fine, from a few feet away in the sunshine, it looks like I'm completely wet with sweat. Not the look I was going for. (If that's the look YOU'RE going for, this will be perfect!) Also, if you do sweat a little, it will sweat/rub off onto your clothing very easily. I don't HATE it so will use it up, but definitely won't reorder.

Great sunscreen
I’ll be honest that this is a bit too dark for me used on its own because I have light skin tone. But the formulation is excellent and I can mix it with another sunscreen for a dewy glow. Love colorescience.
