Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
My everyday sunscreen staple!
Have been using this for over ten years. I use it every day, rain or shine. It's so easy to apply and no sticky feel or funny smell like lotion sunscreens. Perfect for my extra sensitive skin.

Great New Add to My Sunscreen Regimen
An aesthetician recommended this to me recently. I was skeptical because I hate anything that feels heavy on my skin, especially in the summer. I'm in and out of the car a lot in the summer and it isn't feasible to reapply my EltaMD tinted sunscreen. I tried this midday over my sunscreen base. Wow! Removed shine, not too heavy. I was afraid the powder would age my face by showing all my wrinkles and imperfections, but this did not. I would actually wear this product to go out at night. Fabulous!

Skin irritation and difficulty with brush
I really like other Colorescience products, however, this product did not work for me. I followed the enclosed instructions and watched the video regarding how to activate the brush. I was able to see a small amount of powder on the back of my hand but I was never able to flick the brush and see sufficient powder come off it. In addition to this difficulty, the 2x I rubbed the brush lightly on my face, I experienced significant burning. I typically use cosmetic brushes on my face and have never felt this reaction before. I see where another negative review noted this same response. Fortunately I contacted Lovely Skin and they authorized a return.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield
This has been a favorite sunscreen for me for a long time. Simply, it works, and it has no scent. The way I use it is not exactly pursuant to instructions but it works wonderfully for me. I apply another sunscreen first all are oily or at least moist. I then apply the brush-on powder over. I get long lasting highly effective protection this way, even when swimming. Great stuff.

Fave SPF to keep in the car
So often, I am out of the house and in the car then realize my arms need sunscreen. I love this because it doesn't "melt" or get too liquid from sitting in the heat of the car. It is quickly applied, does not get "goo" on my clothes. I need one in every car!

I'm worth it!
I LOVE this product! I have used it for years. It is expensive, but I'm worth it. Sunscreen is the first thing on put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night. Being able to apply this during the day is a blessing.

Not a fan of the brush head
The product works great once you get it to come out. I had to tap multiple (MULTIPLE!!) times and still felt like no product was getting out of container. Works great now and I can actually see product when I stroke the applicator itself.

Love the idea of this product!
I'm really enjoying this mineral sunscreen. I absolutely LOVE the convenience of it, and that it's so easy to throw in my bag and reapply over my makeup throughout the day (and it doesn't mess up my makeup). I only give it 4 stars because sometimes getting the product up to the bristles is a little tough. I usually run my a few fingers through it quick to see if any product puffs out to make sure that indeed, there''s product on the bristles. Overall, a genius product, in my opinion.

Discreet and portable for touch-up sun protection
I am just starting a skincare regimen that will make my skin extra sensitive to the sun. This product was recommended to me by my dermatologist, as an extra layer over my usual sunscreen. I apply it before leaving my office for my lunch break, for example. Compared with the mineral foundation powders that I'd been using, I like this much better. The coverage is much sheerer, it feels lighter on the face, and it has a higher SPF rating. Because it's sheerer, it's much more forgiving, color-wise (it's basically invisible). I have light-medium skin that veers more medium in summertime. I have the Medium color, and it works well for me. The attached brush makes it portable. It doesn't dispense too much at once, which I happen to like because it makes the application more fool-proof, less messy.

So easy to use!
Ok. So I had to watch the video to see how to get the powder out, but once I followed the instructions to remove the sleeve that surrounded the bristles it works like a charm. Everyone should wear sunscreen and Colorsescience makes it easy.

So convenient
This was the first time I’ve purchased a dry brush-on SPF like this. It’s easy to use and convenient for touch-ups throughout the day without interfering with makeup or other SPF/skin care. I am extremely fair skinned and the ‘Fair’ is perfect for me. It goes on easily and is virtually invisible. I think this is a great product to have in your bag for extra SPF protection as the day goes on because washing your face and reapplying SPF/makeup multiple times a day is absolutely unrealistic. It’s spill-proof too, and in my book, that is A+!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention I have very dry skin, and this isn’t drying or irritating at all.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
I’ve been using this powder for years, gives that flawless tinted skin that is protected from sun. I wish the bristles were more softer though. Years ago, they also used to carry this in a shaking loose powder jar. It was very convenient, as I could use my own soft makeup brush. I wish they would get this form of product back on the market. But overall, really good brush.

Can't be beat
I saw this product at the dermatologist's office & was anxious to use it. What impressed me most was the high percentages of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide at 22.5% each. Since I'm a new user, I cannot attest to the brush clogging issue or the skin sensitivity of the brush. I normally use a 50 SPF foundation and believe I'll have enhanced sun protection with this product.

Great when used properly
I have used this in the past, and I was very frustrated when it never seemed to be dispensing any product. The level of powder seemed unchanged after using. I asked the salesperson at my dermatologist’s office what I could do, and she gave me some great advice. First, you need to turn the product upside down and hit it a few times to get the powder into the brush. Keep doing this and you should see the powder coming out of the brush soon. Then, apply in circular motion all over. My dermatologist recommended going over the areas several times to get a good coverage. Keep turning it over even when applying and checking that it’s still coming out by hitting the bottom of the bottle. Finally, and very important: keep the brush clean and dry! I used the wipes they sell and found that they work well. It’s important to clean the brush in an upright position so that the powder stays dry. When used in this way, this is one of the most convenient sunscreens, and it is effective as soon as it’s applied.

Needs a better delivery mechanism
I love the idea of a powder sunscreen, but the delivery of this product could be better. The powder tends to stop flowing after a few uses.
