Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
OK - not great for me/my climate
I got this hoping for a more matte-finish mineral tinted sunscreen. For me, it's a little bit drying even with moisturizer under it. Of note, I am over 50 and live at altitude - very dry here (like 20% humidity dry). So, if you live in a humid environment or tend toward oily skin, this might be great for you. I'll keep it to try when traveling to more humid climates.

ON THE FENCE
I really wanted to love this product, but I'm on the fence. The formula is super watery, and I'm not sure I like the tint as I feel pale when I wear it because, let's face it, a universal tint simply won't work for everyone on the planet. Wish it came in another option or two. Also, I noticed my skin sort of stings when I wear it so reluctantly, I won't be reordering this one.

Decent
Has a soft velvety feel and wears well with makeup or an additional moisturizer. I still found myself having sensitivity to it. However I have extremely sensitive and reactive autoimmune skin. It's not worth the cost if you have severe skin issues. Otherwise it's a decent product

Nice color, but stings
I love SkinCeuticals products, but the tinted mineral sunscreen doesn't work for me. The color is good, but it stings and causes splotches after a few of days of wear.

I don't like strong chemical smell
It smell so strong like gasoline, the texture is nice, and covers very nice. But the smell, I just can't take it. I have both, one with not tint and they both smell the same.

Not for me
I love the Skinceutical line and had high hopes for this tinted mineral sunscreen based on all the amazing reviews, but it’s just not the right product for me. I wasn’t expecting it to be so liquidy (it is definitely a liquid) … I prefer more of a cream based consistency. Also, I don’t think the tint provides much coverage it all; I’ve used other tinted sunscreens in the past that had more depth. Lastly, I don’t like the strong chemical smell, something I haven’t been able to get used to as I’ve continued to give this product a chance to become one of my ‘regulars’. That said, I’m happy for all the people who love using it! I will definitely be using it up but won’t be buying it again.

I wouldn't get it again
I usually love SkinCeuticals products, even though they are very expensive. But this sunscreen, smells odd, it didn't blend w/my skin tone and was greasy feeling. I had to blot it several times throughout the day. It is very runny righ tout of the bottle. Very disappionted with this product.

Liked but developed sensitivity to after couple months
Evens out skin tone very nicely but I developed a skin sensitivity to after several months of use. I would have kept using but it makes my eyes extremely itchy now when I use it.

Have used for years
This makes my dry skin look really good. However, the reviews for skinceuticals’ new sunscreen are so good, I will probably switch when this one runs out.

Returned
Pro - Consistency, works well under makeup, doesn't irritate my skin. Con - And, the reason I returned. The tint is too light for my somewhat olive skin.

This is a lovely feeling tinted sunscreen, however for more mature skin, the sunscreen pools in wrinkles. Not a good look.

NOT MY FAVORITE
I like that this sunscreen is SPF 50. However it’s very runny so it doesn’t have the feel like a primer or offer the same coverage. I won’t buy it again but will use it. Just wish is was thicker.

Liquid-y
Surprised the lotion did not have a thicker consistency. Be careful when squeezing out of the bottle!

Tinted but still too white for me
I have typical eastern Asian (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) skin tone . My skin tone is light to medium with yellow undertone. This sunscreen is tinted but still has a bit light white cast for me. After applying it all over my face, my microbladed eyebrows appear to be light grey, so I have to wipe the sunscreen off from my eyebrows. It leaves my face looking pale. The white cast is slightly better than some other non-tinted mineral sunscreens, but there are other mineral sunscreens that don’t leave white cast and make me look pale at all, like the ones from Murad and Dr Dennis Gross.

Not what I thought
This sunscreen does go on very smoothly but it is MATTE...the tint would have been nice if it had been a little bit dewy but it's so matte, it kind of sunk into my wrinkles lol. Also it says on the page description it is water resistant for 40 mins but on the bottle, it says if you're planning on swimming at all, choose a water resistant sunscreen. But it did feel nice on my face, if I wanted a matte finish.

Beautiful formula, just not for me
It’s a silky liquid that is so lightweight. Unfortunately I have dry patches of skin around my nose and mouth area that the sunscreen settles into once it dries down despite wearing a moisturizer underneath. The tint color was too light for me.

Not for me
I really love SkinCeuticals brand. This sunscreen is suitable for sensitive combination skin. However, for my dry skin, it doesn't help even I do apply this after moisture cream.

A fluid
If you are not afraid to use a fluid, this product could be for you. It's a little messy and a little pricey. Not sure whether I'll buy it again.

I’m sure this is awesome but…
I purchased this after I actually had a sample. After getting the full size I noticed my skin looked dry or very matte. I don’t like the look of dry on my face. I’ll use it for outside in the summer but not for under my makeup. Just didn’t work for me, I’m sure it will be fine for someone who likes the matte look.
