Reviews For Colorescience Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Very nice mineral sunscreen. Too expensive for what you recieve.
I really enjoy trying new sunscreens. In fact, I purchased this one because of a small sample I received in the mail. I don't generally like all mineral sunscreens due to the white cast and they tend to dry out my skin. This one did neither. In fact, it went on rather greasy and stayed that way for about 30 minutes. The initial application was also a bit white but once it had a chance to dry down, it was excellent. I detected no discernible scent at all and did not dry out my skin. I took off one star because it's way too expensive (even with a coupon) for the amount that you receive.

Sheer mineral sunscreen
I tested this on a recent trip to Mexico. I always wear a hat and sit in the shade, so little time was spent in direct sun. The pluses: my sensitive skin did not react, the finish was sheer, and I did not burn. The minuses: the finish is not really mat, and I missed the tint that blurs the finish on my other favorite high end product. Definitely a good product but perhaps not my favorite. I do recommend it.

Love this stuff!
Colorescience No-Show Mineral Sunscreen is a very thin liquid. It comes out white and completely disappears on my skin (light tone) without a ton of effort working into the skin. I don't like that it initially looks shiny but at least on my aged skin the shine disappears within a few minutes. I don't use foundation of any sort - put on my face serum, H.A. and moisturizer and use this as the last step. For me the only downfall is needing to wait at each step for products to really sink in. I've never liked sunblock on my face but this one is tolerable. It's great for the backs of my hands too.

Best sub for my beloved discontinued SPF50 so far -- hydrating and no-show
[For reference, sensitive skin with light tone.] My longtime, "cosmetically elegant" SPF50 is out of production aside from a tinted version that doesn't work for me. I've tried a few other top-rated LS brands over the last couple of years and have found them too drying, too white-cast even on my light skintone, or both. This is the first real contender. Plays well with my moisturizer and sheer foundation and feels great on my dry skin. Rec reading other reviews as I did to see the common themes for likes / dislikes. I was used to a creamy consistency with my old fav, so have to pay attention squeezing this out as yes -- it's very liquidy / more like a serum. Also a little hard to judge how much remains in bottle aka how many days of use per bottle I'll get / cost per day. But as of this review, will be repurchasing.

Colorescience No-Show Mineral Sunscreen
The name is misleading. I expected this to be less shiny on the skin. It definitely has a shine. It works well to protect the skin from the sun, but if you are looking for more of a matte finish this is not it.

Good, dependable, everyday mineral sunscreen
I pre-ordered the 1.7 fl oz and was excited to try it out. I have used it a few times now. My skin type is combination, sensitive and acne-prone. Pros - there is no noticeable white cast on my skin tone (medium) once it blends in because it's very runny in texture (similar to Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50), it suited my sensitive skin without visible redness or breakouts, relatively easy to reapply Cons - it is very "slick" and gives the skin an oily appearance (not matte at all), even though it is lightweight there is a feeling of having a layer sitting on top of your skin so in that sense it's not cosmetically elegant I have not tried it under makeup yet but I think makeup would sit heavy on top of this. Overall, it's one of the better and repeatable mineral sunscreens out there but leaves more to be desired.
