Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted
IT'S WATER RESISTANT!
This is a wonderful tinted sunscreen, but it's WATER RESISTANT! The box doesn't indicate this. If you have sensitive skin or Rosacea, this sunscreen is NOT for you. I have sensitive skin and had to cleanse my face 3 times to get it off!

LOVE
This is by far THE best sunscreen I have used for my sensitive skin! Love the color of the tint on my complexion, love the smooth texture when applying, hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts. I hope this is never discontinued!

Just okay
I am an avid sunscreen wearer, and very loyal to a different brand. I decided to try a tinted SkinMedica sunscreen and was not impressed. The sunscreen from the other brand is light but provides excellent coverage with a lovely tint. The SkinMedica tinted sunscreen got all over my clothing (which the other formula does not). I think SkinMedica is extremely overrated and has good marketing. There are better products at a much more competitive price point.

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted
Very nice, light coverage over moisturizer. Not a big makeup user but this is great for evening out skin tone and minor imperfections. Will buy again.

Lightweight sunscreen
This sunscreen is great for every day wear. I will continue to purchase. It also wears well as a tinted moisturizer but also sits well under my heavier foundations.

Great for very sensitive skin
I bought this for my sister when she complained that sunscreen with any zinc oxide gave her a rash so she was using an titanium dioxde-only spf. This SkinMedica Essential Defense tinted spf worked great for her, and the tint was perfect for her medium skintone. It has just enough coverage that she doesn't need light foundation anymore.

Great sunscreen
I’ve tried many sunscreens and this by far is the best. I’m very light skinned and most tinted sunscreens are too dark or too drying for my skin. This is a perfect fit for me. With my laser treatments it doesn’t burn my skin and keeps it moist. I’ll never use anything else.

Impressed but wish it had higher SPF rating
I really liked this tint--it matched my olive skin well and blended in well. I did notice pilling sometimes if I was wearing too many serums, but overall, it's a great SPF. I'd only buy it on sale though.

Smooth application
I was surprised by this as it is much nicer texture and application than many that contain both zinc and titanium. It has a nice finish and did not smell weird or have a grainy or irritating texture. If you let the preceding serums, moisturizer etc sink in well, then apply this, and then let it set, it does not pill and makeup went over it nicely. The tint is barely a tint, it is more to off set the white cast of the minerals is my guess. It did not feel mineral-y or sticky.

This has been my favorite sunscreen for years. Wears well under makeup. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I love it and will continue to purchase, I just wish the price wasn’t so expensive.

Worth the $$$$
This is the nicest blending mineral sunscreen I have used. The tint blends in invisibly, zero white cast, moisturizing, but non-greasy. A total win for SPF. Will rebuy when I run out. Beautiful product and totally underrated. Some tints are orange and transfer to clothing and hands. This does not. Totally absorbs!

Skin medica tinted spa 32
So far so good. The texture is light and smooth, providing a nice even finish plus sun protection. The tint does seem to be universal and I don’t even wear foundation

Drying
I don’t like this product at all! First time purchased. I don’t know if it’s because it’s mineral sunscreen or what. My skin looks so dry when I used. Feels terrible on. Normally use a tinted sunscreen from a different brand. I’ll go back. I love SkinMedica products so was very surprised.

Very gentle
A gentle mineral SPF for colder months for me, since it doesn't appear to be water-resistant. Moisturizing and does not irritate my very sensitive, retinized skin.
