Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Light and not greasy
This product is thin. I wondered about it's ability to protect my face so I used some sunscreen under it. It still went on without a problem. It feels soft and smooth. I'm pleased and will buy it again. I'm grateful for LovelySkin where I can always get advice and direction.

Love this product. It goes on smoothly and has just enough tint. I’m on my second bottle. Would recommend it to everyone.

Seems different than the older formula/labeled product
Still good but this newer version seems thicker or more mineral oil in it than older versions. Takes more soap to get it off my face than the previous version.

Good sunscreen
It’s a good face sunscreen. It’s quite runny and the tint soaks right into skin.

Confusing if sunscreen is water/sweat resistant as indicated on website
I was really excited to try this product. I have been looking for a tinted mineral sunscreen that is water and sweat resistant. I have sensitive skin and chemical sunscreens really bother my eyes. I have a tinted mineral lotion that I use every day and like, but since it's getting hotter, I wanted one that is water/sweat resistant for any amount of time. I tried it and really liked the consistency and light coverage. However, I have fair to light skin with yellow undertones, so I'm not sure the one "shade" of SkinCeuticals would work for everyone. I prefer the serum-like fluid over other high-end water/sweat resistant mineral sunscreens I have tried because it does not pill with my various lotions and potions. I was happy with my purchase until I was reading over the box and realized that, per the packaging and bottle, this sunscreen is not water or sweat resistant up to 40 minutes as indicated on the website. I checked the SkinCeuticals website as well and another review mentioned that it is not "waterproof" as they thought. SkinCeuticals replied that it is water resistant up to 40 minutes (I know the difference between the two and am just looking for "resistance"), so I now feel confident that the sunscreen is water and sweat resistant up to 40 minutes. Overall, I really like this product, but with something as important as sunscreen, I don't feel like I should have to hunt all over the internet because of a labeling misrepresentation. That is why I subtracted a star.

SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion Sunscreen
This sunscreen works well, spreads smoothly and does not leave a greasy feeling. I also like that it doesn't have a bunch of toxic chemicals. The only thing I don't love is that the color is a bit grey/pasty looking, but it does help to blend the discolorations in my skin.

Good product
Overall I like it. It has light texture and the tint blends well with my skin, it looks like it has slightly glowing effect. My skin has light-medium tone. The only thing I feel like there is not enough sun protection in it, so I use another mineral sunblock underneath.

I so badly wanted to love this
I understand others saying that the product causes some dryness and others have gotten burnt. You have to ensure that your skin is well-hydrated before you apply, and it helps to apply two layers since the product has a very low viscosity and ends up being very sheer. However, this is a good thing, because after that second layer dries it's almost like you have a face of very sheer foundation AND you are well protected! Unfortunately I have very sensitive skin with rosacea, so I ended up having irritation and stinging and requested a return. I so so badly wanted this to work for me! If it works for you, it will be a godsend.

LIKE THE HIGH SPF
I like this sunscreen okay. I like best the 50 SPF value. For a sunscreen, though, it seems a bit watery, almost like a serum in texture; this is quite possibly a good thing, but I guess I'm just used to sunscreen being thicker. It is a bit on the pricey side too, as are all things SkinCeuticals, and for that reason I doubt I'll be re-purchasing.

Super lightweight
I have used better tinted sunscreens in the past as far as color payoff goes. However, this one is nice because it is really lightweight on the skin. I feel like this will be really nice in the summertime when the humidity is in full swing. Personally I prefer another brand because it is a tinted moisturizer with spf. I know SkinCeuticals believes in moisturize then apply sunscreen so this one isn't meant to replace your moisturizer, but I prefer the simplicity of one product instead of two.

Great sun protection
I love this product from spring to fall. I have noticed that it can seem a bit drying in the winter, so I add a moisturizing serum when needed. It is otherwise the perfect sunscreen and blends easily.

Weird texture but great sun protection
This sunscreen smells odd and has an odd texture. Hence, the four stars. However, it does provide great protection and the sun does not seem to penetrate it. It is long-wearing and once absorbed, it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing sunscreen at all. I will continue to purchase it, I just wish it smelled better.

Great Coverage
This is a fantastic facial SPF. It does not cause any tingling like most of them do, and it doesn't leave white streaks across your face. My one complaint is that the tint does lighten as you apply it. One reviewer suggested to just dab it on but that defeats the purpose of ensuring overall protection.

Pretty good
Pros: it’s light, blends well and a fantastic color. Sun protection is adequate for a day at the beach. Cons: it has a slightly gritty feel to it and is very difficult to wash off. I have to pre was with makeup remover then wash 2-3 times with cleanser and my Clarisonic I use it sparingly because I don’t enjoy the struggle to remove it.

Lightweight Silky Smooth
This tint sunscreen gives just a hint of color to my face while protecting from the sun’s rays. Goes on smooth and is lightweight.

Perfect fit for helping with my melasma
Easy to apply. The tint is perfect for my skin tone and conceals some of my melasma. I eliminate the shine with a mineral foundation powder. Only downside is not being able to use a bb cream over it as the cream brings,out the white of the zinc oxide making it look ‘cakey’. Otherwise I wouldn’t know it is zinc oxide. Hasn’t made me break out or cause any irritation on my face. Seems to be doing it’s job well.

This tinted SPF gives you a nice glow but I don't like how runny it is when it comes out of the bottle

I like this sunscreen. It's really lightweight and not greasy. The reason I only give 4 stars is because I don't like that its tinted.

Best tinted mineral sunscreen for summer
Keep coming back to this sunscreen. Shade is perfect, I never burn, sweat proof, and it never rubs off on clothes etc. I wish it was a little more moisturizing (dries me out in winter) but it’s perfect for summer.
