Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Not for me
Not in love with this sunscreen unfortunately. I had high hopes since this is from a brand I otherwise love. It does leave a white cast on my tan Indian skin.

Leaves a chalky residue
I was hoping this would just be the clear version of the tinted SkinCeuticals Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 that I love. Wrong. This leaves me looking ghostly. Boo!

Not bad for a mineral SPF
I bought it to try yet another mineral sunscreen, as I needed a reef safe option and higher SPF than my typical daily sunscreen. It’s ok. I press it in, it seems lightweight but ends up feeling heavy and sticky after a day of reapplying. It does a decent job protecting from sun with a minimal white cast. I’m fair skinned and wear a hat anytime I’m in the sun but still don’t want to look more white and I’m not a fan of all over tints (especially since my whole family uses whatever SPF I hand them, which is whatever I’m using). This is a pretty good mineral option but I’ll stick to a nicer, chemical (I know, ick) formula for my every day.

Too white
I accidentally purchased this instead of the tinted version (which I love). Since I opened it too late to return it I gave it a try and found it left my skin a shade of pale white. I would return if I could but I can't. I'll have to read the description more closely next time I order.

Did the trick
I am using it on my face and arms. It. Sinks in nicely, but definitely leaves you a little pale. I purchased the wrong product, but will use this up first.

Sunscreen SPF 50
I am using this sunscreen but honestly I don't find any difference just yet. It reminds me of the Neutrogena sunscreen and I may return.

Terrible white mask
The GOOD: light texture, easy application, non greasy, high SPF, pore friendly, contains zinc oxide! The BAD: White hue upon application! If not for the terrible white finish and the fact that this is NOT an organic product, this SkinCeuticals sunscreen would get five stars.

White cast
I really wanted to love this sunscreen, but I'm sad to say I don't. 1/4 a tsp is what the face needs to get the full SPF protection but this sunscreen gives me a white cast even when rubbing it well and waiting 20 minutes. Applying makeup makes my skin look ashy. Will only use for my neck and chest but will not repurchase.

A bit white
I purchased this by mistake since I usually use the tinted formula. I decided to keep it since I can never have too much sunscreen. For my face the formula leaves a white cast, unlike the tinted version. I use this for my neck and chest since it’s not as obvious. I love the tinted version.

More watery than expected
Having used a few skinceuticals products in the past and loved them, I was expecting the same from this sunscreen. However, I found that the consistency was way too watery for a sunscreen. It basically pours out as a watery mess onto your hands. So far, I do like the way the product feels on my skin and the fact that it does not clog my pores like a typical sunscreen. The consistency and the quantity of product for the price account for my 3-star review.

Not what I expected
I thought that this SPF 50 was a moisturizer and it's not. I'm sure this a great product if you just want to use it a sunny day at the beach however I was looking for a SPF with a moisturizer so it does not suit my needs.

Leaves ashy haze
Based on reviews and product description, I was hoping this would be a good physical sunscreen. Unfortunately, it leaves a very noticeable ashy haze on my face. I have light olive skin and have use physical sunscreens before. One plus, it does not irritate my skin, but it is pricey compared to other physical sunscreens.
