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

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.

Great Spf
My aesthetician used this on me after a few treatments and I always left glowing. I finally broke from my normal skincare routine to incorporate this SPF and it never disappoints. Great for sensitive skin, dries more matte. Great color added to skin with tint.

Great tint
I was using another popular brand but found that this has more coverage with the tint and is less shiny

Everyday sunblock
Got this to use everyday for sun protection under my makeup and if I’m just home it’s good on its own!

Solid and nice tint
When I wear this, I feel so protected from the sun. If you put it on lightly, then you don't have to worry about much additional shine from it. Put on too much, and you'll notice the shine. But the tint is nice...but again, this is something you have to tread lightly with. Put too much on, and the tint can be noticeable. I prefer it looking natural. Be careful wiping your face with something important, like your shirt, because the color of this will stain it.

Excellent product
I love SkinMedica, and this product over-delivers. The sunscreen works perfectly, and the tint is a nice addition.
