Great option for post procedure. Non irritating, applies easily, no lasting white cast, and dries matte.

Go for the Glow!
Love the texture of this SPF. Minimal white cast and blends well. Feels great on my dry dry skin and doesn’t pill. A++

Best protection from the sun!
Love this SPF cream and it doesn’t leave your skin greasy or with a white film. Goes on smooth and works great after serum but before makeup. Highly recommend.

Easiest to use
I really need to use sunscreen, but I hate all of them either burn my eyes or hard to apply. This one seems to work the best and I actually don’t mind using it at all.

Best!
I have been using this for a few years and it’s my all time favorite broad spectrum sunscreen. It doesn’t leave white look to face and my skin glows after applying it. It smooths well over my serums and moisturizer without pilling. Makeup goes on so nice and my skin looks great!

Amazing sunscreen!
This is the best sunscreen I have tried after many awful ones. It is completely mineral and has no chemical boosters. It dries down fully to a natural finish, not irritating or drying. It is easy to apply and never pills. The only thing is it leaves a slight white cast on my pale, reddish skin so I have to mix it with the tinted one. Small price to pay for such a great product!

This is the best US-brand sunscreen I have tried so far. The formulation and consistency can compete with Japanese sunscreens. I have rosacea and I always use physical sunscreens as chemical/hybrid ones either irritate my skin or burn my eyes. Unlike many mineral sunscreens, this one leaves minimal white cast and has no bothering scent. I use this in the winter only as it would be "too moisturizing" for the hot & humid summer here.

Good
I find this sunscreen to be nice when I am just having a normal day. I got it to try for working out and outdoor workouts but when I sweat, my skin doesn't love it as much and I get some irritation. If I am not doing anything crazy, the formula works well for my skin. It does feel a bit oily and removal isn't a breeze but you should double cleanse or make sure to use a cleanser that can really get it all so it doesn't sit in your pores.

Perfect mineral sunscreen post procedure
No irritation. Nice feel-a little filmy but overall nice absorption

Combination skin
The best physical sunscreen ever, refreshing, non-greasy, and non-whitening, slightly modifies the complexion, and will continue to be used in the future

Great sunscreen
I have been looking for a mineral clear broad spectrum and have tried so many. This is the first one that doesn’t feel greasy and gives my skin a nice glow. If I’m going out I put my regular make up over the sunscreen and it doesn’t dry out my skin as others have done. I really love this product.

The best sunscreen for super sensitive skin
This is the only sunscreen I can use without any burning or peeling, including other mineral sunscreens. It goes on with a little white cast but turns clear in a few minutes. I only wish the spf was a little higher but this still scores 5 stars in my book! I'm on auto shipment because I can't be without it.

Lovely day tinted sunscreen.
I've been using Essential Defense tinted for a few years. It's my go to day sunscreen. I use a stronger sunscreen playing golf. I really love it because it feels nice and it's not heavy.

GOOD FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
This sunscreen is not the most moisturizing formula I've ever tried, but it's effective and does not cause irritation to my sensitive, reactive skin. Although I spend very little time in the sun, I use sunscreen daily as my foundation. I like another brand of physical sunscreen for my face, and use this on my neck since it doesn't discolor or show on my clothing. If I do decide I need a less emollient facial sunscreen on a given day, this works well mixed with a tiny amount of foundation.

I adore this sunscreen. Only wish spf was higher, but I use it every day. I mix it with the tinted version. It's magical!

Sunscreen facial lotion with skin care feel
I was looking for an unscented, mid-to-high SPF level facial lotion. This totally fits the bill, 35 SPF which is enough. Really nice feel to it, spreads evenly and no white left-overs from zinc oxide. It feels as light as a daily facial moisturizer. I'm wanted an unscented product and this is. Checked all my boxes. Plus nice packaging with a pump.

One I keep coming back to
I often go hunting for other mineral moisturizers. However, many are not compatible with the SkinMedica line (e.g., have retinol or vitamin C which are not compatible with human growth factor). So, I keep com. ing back to this Essential Defense Mineral Shield.
