White face

I did not like this and will be returning. It made my face really white and it wouldn't go away once it was absorbed. I don't wear makeup a lot so I can't cover up the ghost face. I like the Physical Fusion better as it has a slight tint to it.

This is my favorite!

However…. I accidentally ordered the non tinted version which I will be exchanging for the tinted. The tinted version is truly superb and so much better than the white of most facial sunscreens. It is also sheer and blends so well.

Protects you

This formula and I do not get along so well as I kind of feel like a greaseball but I do believe that it is a very nice sunscreen and I did not burn when using it. I just think that I am a bit oily and need something that sets more matte. Being that I am already an extremely pale person, white casts don't concern me 2 much. I already look like a ghost and its not gonna make much of a difference but I do think you really need to work this and pat this in real good.

Great coverage, nice to wear

I really like this product for daily sunscreen. It provides good coverage (I don't get burned) and also feels good to wear (does not feel greasy, sticky or "sunscreen-y").

Stung

I wanted to try this because it was recommended to me by a few people but it stung my face pretty bad. I tried it for about two weeks hoping it would get better and sometimes it stung less than other times but it always stung. Bummer.

Great facial sunscreen, it’s my favorite!

I have used the sunscreen for many years over 10 probably and I love it! I’m very conscious of the sun and the sunscreen does a great job of protecting my face!

Healthy sunscreen

It's a clean sunscreen, with safe ingredients. The design of bottle makes it easy to dispense product. I wish it wasn't so expensive, and not excluded from every single sale.

Fantastic!

Fantastic mineral based sunscreen, is a little runny but I personally am okay with this for application. It leaves a slight white cast.

White cast

I like the way it feels and settles under makeup, however it leaves a white cast on me. I have ordered the tinted one to try instead.

Disapoears right unto skin

Love this sunblock. I've tried many ones this one is at the high end price wise but I think its worth it. It goes right into skin, no white cast and protects til next application. Bought it for a trip to South America in February. I wear sunblock all year long because I live in the deep south.

Lightweight

This formula is very thin and lightweight. The size is nice for traveling. If you like a thin layer then this is for you!

Very shiny/greasy appearance - Definitely not a matte finish

I'm definitely a fan of SkinCeuticals products! However, to me, this product is not as described as it creates a shiny/greasy appearance on my fair skin. On a positive note, the sunscreen itself is a bit liquid and goes on well. I was excited to buy this as a post-procedure sunscreen as I simply cannot tolerate the highly recommended and popular sunscreen my doctor recommended. Anyway, if I had not missed my return window due to my intensive procedure, I would've definitely returned it and purchased another sunscreen from LovelySkin.

My favorite

Love this one so much because it is not greasy, it is very lightweight with a minimal white cast considering that is a mineral sunscreen. It is one of my favorites so far… :)

SkinCeuticals Sunscreen

SkinCeuticals tinted sunscreen is light weight on my skin. So easy to apply and wear. A bottle lasts a long time.

An Excellent Sunscreen

I don't think twice about applying this sunscreen! It is lightweight and blends in quickly into my face. I have sensitive skin, and burn easily. I feel safe being in the sun for the short periods that I am. Highly recommend.

The best SPF for me!

I absolutely love the light milky texture of this SPF. It does not interfere with other layers of the products that I use daily.

Decent mineral sunscreen

Is very lightweight. Has a bit of a white cast. I don’t use daily, only when I’m spending prolonged time outside. My skin tolerates but I usually end up with a breakout after use.

Great product

I am 59 with very sensitive skin. Fragrances and various ingredients break me out. I have been using this sunscreen for over a year every day and have never had a breakout. It goes on smooth and does not leave a white cast. I use the sheer version, not the tinted. I have tried the tinted version and that one caused me some irritation, and I returned product for a full refund. Hope this helps someone.

Great little sunscreen

I use this sunscreen daily on my hands and neck or to spot treat before I go outside (I use a tinted sunscreen for my face). It’s light, doesn’t have a scent, and made by a company I trust with my skin. This is the perfect size for a small purse or even for your pocket.
