Reviews For CoTZ Face Prime & Protect SPF 40 - Tinted
A Barrier Against Shine!
This sunscreen offers a lightweight, oil free protection against sunburn, but what makes it special is the oil absorbent properties which leaves you with a matte finish without the white glow. Other than maybe being a bit too drying (mix it with a bit of oil free moisturizer) this is great product to use daily.

Skin of color Friendly
This is perfect for my medium dark skin. I have oily skin and it mattifies my T-zone perfectly. It also applies great if I'm wearing powder or liquid foundation. No white cast for me which is what I need since all I can do is mineral sunscreen due to sensitivity. I highly recommend.

Such a great product
This is such a nice product. The tint is perfect. I put this on every morning. It has an awesome blurring effect which is wonderful for normal to oily skin. I use it both independently or under make up. Definitely recommend.

Nice Mette finish, good coverage, works well alone or as primer under makeup.
I have dry skin and can wear it in the summer without moisturizer.

Love this sunscreen
It’s light textured and the color fits my light-medium cool skin tone. It looks a little orange going on but it ends up being a neutral beige color and evens out my skin tone nicely. It feels exactly like the primer it is. I always have the feeling it isn’t working because it feels so light but it does work. I have a backup and that says something. I must say it’s not the only one I have in my rotation. The cost is a little high for me. But it is pretty divine.

I love the smooth silky feel of this face lotion! It feels luxurious, plus it has sunscreen. I highly recommend this product.

Good Sunscreen for the Price
Nice tinted sunscreen for summer. It’s too dark for my skin during winter, I have a light/medium complexion, but I knew that before purchasing. It does leave a shine, but a little powder fixes that (which I do need to reapply throughout the day). Overall, not bad for the price!

Nice blurring effect
This goes on like mousse and becomes invisible --but better--on my medium skin. It has a blurring effect that makes my pores less visible. I appreciate that it's not as light as so many other tinted sunscreens. I use this on my son too and I've noticed his mask tan lines fading so even though I'm not around to reapply, it seems to last longer than other sunscreens.

Highly Recommended
In general I have very reactive, sensitive facial skin and eyes, but I have found this to be a very nice and non-irritating sunscreen. Goes on easily and smoothly. No cast whatsoever. It has a dark tint which I was a little worried about when I first saw it, but it blends completely into my fair skin. Does not cause me any breakouts or clogged pores. Gives a very slight coverage, which means for more casual days I can just wear this over my moisturizer, and skip foundation. Also works well for my husband, who has a much darker skin tone than me. Only drawback is that it doesn't completely wash off with my gentle cream cleanser, however I find that this hasn't caused any breakouts or problems, so I just accept that maybe a little of this sunscreen remaining over washing is ok. Perhaps for others with a foaming cleanser, this won't even be an issue. Recently went for a 2 hour sweaty bike ride in the midday sun and thanks to this sunscreen I didn't get burnt at all. Not even slightly pink.

Goldilocks
Unfortunately, CoTZ's Face Prime & Protect presents a Goldilocks and the Three Bears problem--the Non-Tinted is too light (too great a whitecast) and this Tinted is too dark (for my fair skin). However, even if the tints are unworkable, I still give this 4 Stars because--as someone acne- and sebaceous filament-prone, I can write with certainty that neither has EVER broken me out.

Skin perfecting
As an outdoor girl, I use a lot of sunscreen and I carefully read up on products to use on my face because I am particular about how the product feels and looks on my skin. This sunscreen is at the top of my list so far and works well when applied over serums and other skin care products.

Reef safe, water resistant sheer tint
I like the fact that it is reef safe and it is water resistant. I haven't tried it in the ocean yet, but it is supposed to stay on for 80 minutes, rather than 40 minutes like most other water resistant tinted sunscreens. It is unscented. The coverage looks slightly orange but quickly disappears and does not cover or conceal my sun spots as much as I'd like. It is more of a matte finish and is supposed to be a face primer but initially bought it to wear surfing.

Amazing product.
I have combination (more so leaning to dry) skin with eczema and rosacea. All of the other sunscreens I've used in the past have flared up one condition or the other; however, this particular product makes my skin feel and look great. I haven't experienced any adverse reactions while wearing this; my skin is thoroughly protected with no irritation whatsoever. This also makes your face look as if it was airbrushed (thanks to the silicones in it), so that's a bonus. Now, onto my opinions on the colour. I'm extremely pale, so I do notice that this sunscreen makes me look a bit orange. To combat and completely negate this, I mix this in with the non-tinted version of this sunscreen to achieve an accurate skin tone match for me. This is overall an amazing product.

The Best Sunscreen
Cotz has been my ultimate favorite sunscreen and have used it for years. It goes on smooth, very light so it doesn't feel like anything is on your face. Has a very silky feeling, the tint is just enough to blend into your natural skin tone, mine is fair. No complaints, will use this sunscreen forever?

I love this stuff
This tinted sunscreen goes on smoothly with a light tint that blends with my Caucasian skin. Apparently it works because, when she's examining me for skin cancers, my dermatologist says that I have beautiful skin.

Never received it!!!!
It’s been so long since I ordered this I completely forgot about it. I’ve never received it. The product is great because I tried at the sample. I’m not sure what the full-size will be like.

Excellent spf for fungal prones!
For years, I avoided cyclopentasiloxane based products. I was convinced that it triggered my seborrheic dermatitis. However, in the past year, I've been revamping my skincare routine based on "fungal safe" products and the Cotz spf always seems to figure prominently on that list. I decided to take a chance and I'm so glad that I did. I use the untinted for my neck and the tinted on my face. The texture is very different. Someone described it as a bit like peanut butter. But no worries, it applies like a dream and dries completely matte. And it's easy to reapply every two hours when needed, especially at the beach. Even my husband, who is an avid cyclist, likes using it. Thumbs up from me!
