Good Sunscreen
This sunscreen has a nice creamy consistency. Applies nice and even without leaving a white cast. The only thing that is a problem is that it leaves my skin on the drier side. I have dry skin to begin with.

Exceeded expectations
This is a very good sunscreen product. It goes on very well over the HA5 Hydrator and does not "pill" when layered under foundation. I have mature, sensitive skin and have had no sensitivity issues. Love that it is a physical sunscreen as I never use chemical sunscreen on my face.

Love it!
Love this sunscreen and so I used it every morning :-). Doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't cause breakouts, and best of all doesn't leave a white chalky layer. I think my skin looks better when I put it on. I got a free sample at a dermatology event and now I'm hooked!

Great sunscreen for sensitive skin
Very light and not oily. I love the way it feels on my skin. I wear it under my makeup and it feels that my makeup stays longer because of this. Small drop goes a long way.

Good sunscreen, nice texture
I've found out that I have to stick to all mineral sunscreens or else my skin ends up with bumps all over. I enjoy using this one as it is kind of creamy and easily spreadable, and I don't detect any white cast after it has dried. My only complaint is that it seems to leave a bit of a greasy look, but it is easily taken care of with a small bit of powder or by dabbing with a blotter sheet. Overall, not bad.

Great UV protection!
I love SkinMedica sunscreens! This mineral only sunscreen does a great job at protecting your skin, it’s easy to spread, has a nice consistency and is non-drying. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it has a very slight white cast.

Excellent sunscreen for sensitive skin!
This is my second purchase. The product lasts a long time which makes it a good purchase despite the small size and cost. I have very sensitive skin, and this sunscreen does not irritate my face. It goes on smoothly and is not greasy. I will continue to buy this product. LovelySkin always has great sales on products and the customer service is beyond compare–a rare thing to find as of late.

Light and effective
This SPF cream is perfectly light for my combo skin and also doubles as a moisturizer in the summer. My nose is the first place to react to a product being too heavy, and this stuff never gives me any problems. It absorbs fast and comes loaded with some antioxidants. I wish the price was lower, but it is the best physical sunscreen I have tried (and I have tried many). As a guy, this does the trick on my hairy face, without any issues.

Not quite lightweight or sheer
I think I'm going to give up on finding a sunblock that is REALLY sheer and lightweight, as well as non-greasy. Every product that I try that makes these claims, disappoints. This is a good sunscreen in terms of protecting your skin from sun damage, but it's not great if you want to have a perfect complexion. It leaves a white cast on the skin and it's a bit thick and greasy. I'm using it on weekends when we're out "playing," but I won't use it on a work day since it is too thick to wear with makeup. It seems as much as I want to avoid them, chemical sunscreens are truly the only non-greasy sheer options out there.

Great sunscreen
I am careful to always use a sunscreen. I have for the last 20 years and my skin has really benefited from this one important routine. I like the way this sunscreen goes on, not greasy or oily. My makeup goes on over and stays great. I trust this brand and love this product. It feels and looks great!

Best Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin
I've been using SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35 for many years. I use both the plain and tinted. The tinted is smooth, and my foundation marries well with the sunscreen. I workout a lot and like the fact the plain sunscreen stays on. I do however, reapply after my hot yoga classes. I highly recommend this sunscreen.

Love It!
I am surprised I like this sun cream. I have used SkinCeuticals SPF for a couple of years and was having difficulties with it being a tad too drying. This one does not irritate my skin, does it dry it out, does not leave it sticky. No white case if it is rubbed in well. Now hat I am back on tretinoin I needed something that was soothing and not thick. This is perfect!!!!! It also lays well under my foundation and other makeup products. Thank goodness I found this!

Perfect
I love this sunscreen. It does not leave a white cast and it doesn't not ball up later. It's also light and perfect for my sensitive skin. You can reapply without any issue. It does not feel heavy.

Great sunscreen
I have been searching for the perfect lightweight, moisturizing mineral-based sunscreen and have finally found it. I use this under foundation, and it works wonderfully. There is a slightly pale cast due to the zinc oxide, but that should be expected. There is no detectable scent either. I highly recommend this product!

Will definitely buy it again.
It is easy to apply and gentle to the face. Some sunscreen can string my face but this product is gentle.

Good Sunscreen for Retin-A users
I found the sunscreen to be an excellent consistency for my skin. I've been using Retin-A for a while now. So my skin has gotten much dryer. This worked well and wasn't too greasy. Has not broken my skin out at all.
