I searched for a few years

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.

No irritation. Nice feel-a little filmy but overall nice absorption

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had been using this sunblock for years, this last time I purchase I felt it thicker and hard to spread, I wonder if the product is change or maybe it went bad of the road to AZ ? Is to hot right now so went I order I’m always waiting for the mail men on the day of deliver because I don’t want my products sitting on my mailbox in this heat

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.

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.

I will wear this sunscreen until the day I die or the day it's discontinued, whichever comes first. It's the only mineral sunscreen that truly blends into the skin well - not even other brands that claim to be "clear" do that. Depending on my mood, I mix this with a pump or two of the tinted version for a nicer finish on the skin. It's truly excellent - the only mineral sunscreen I can confidently say I love.

This one passes all my tests for not transferring to or staining clothing, so I use it on my neck and chest. I also like that it comes in an airless pump and the ingredients are gentle for sensitive skin.

Goes on smooth and is moisturizing. No white tint.

This made my skin dry and made my make up application pasty…if you have mature dry skin I would consider other options…will say a little went a long way for coverage.

This is a great untinted sunscreen. It doesn't leave a white cast, however I am a fair/moderate skin tone, so I can't speak for darker skin tones. It is a nice smooth texture and feels lovely when applying. Does an excellent job protecting my skin from burning without causing any irritation or breakouts.

A dear friend let me try this sunscreen and I absolutely love it. It goes on with ease, doesn’t leave a cast or any streaking, dries quickly…it’s a light sunscreen compared with others.

I have been using this sunscreen for years now and it is the only one that does not break me out or cause some kind of reaction. I love that it is mineral only, it blends well and does not feel heavy. I basically use this every day over my serums and don’t even need a moisturizer. It’s just perfect.
