Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Great product!
Love the spreadability of this tinted lotion spf! Goes on smoothly and blends easily with a slight blurring effect. My rosacea prone skin seems to tolerate it well. Since it’s a product I have to reapply a few times a day, I wish it was less expensive but happy to have it in rotation. I subtracted a star for price and the the fact that it tends to rub off on light clothing.

Excellent coverage; easy to apply. Wish they had more shades.

Sunscreen that adjusts to your skin tone
As I mature in age, I find that I want to wear less makeup, especially foundation. When I tried a few different skin tints, I found those to be too hydrating and definitely not suitable for my oily / acne-prone skin. So, I decided to look into tinted sunscreens. I already am super faithful with wearing sunscreen and have been sticking with un-tinted versions since most tinted sunscreens are too dark or too warm in color for me. Colorescience Sunforgettable Flex - Fair is a pretty good match. I like that this sunscreen is mineral based and can be built up in coverage and still looks natural - like a no-makeup makeup look. Although I like this product, I give it 4 stars because, the fair shade is a bit too light in color for me. I had tried the medium, but that was too dark and too orange for me. It would be awesome if a shade between the two with neutral undertones was offered.

Great color
I loved the way this went on and the color match of the Medium. Great for days when just going to gym or the pool. But I think it made me break out in my t zone. I stopped using it but am going to try it again because I really like how it looks. I have oily skin but have been religiously using retinol so hoping it doesn't make me break out again. It's prob just my sensitive skin so I'd definitely give it a try!

Ok but...
I don't think this is for dry skin types. Moisturizing well before application made it work though. Tint's a bit light but passable for my very fair skin.

Love this stuff
It’s a great sunscreen! I love how it’s not super thick… the only downside is the fair does t have much color as opposed to the other shades. Wish had a little more skin tint coverage.

Very nice sun ptrotection
Leaves my face a bit greasy; I would rather have a matte product like this

Like a foundation!
Love the coverage. I feel like the ones who say it breaks them out are possibly not double cleansing.

Amazing!
I was super skeptical in the beginning, but when I received this and put it on, I was amazed by not only the quality of the sunscreen but how it truly matched up with my skin color!

Great SPF BUT...
I heard raves about Colorscience for a while. I decided to venture away from my usual BB cream and try the Colorscience FLEX in Medium. I have to say the color-changing formula is impressive. Not a dead on match but close enough. The product is more of a liquid than a cream. I pour some on the back of my hand and then spread it on my face. The coverage is fantastic. I did not need any concealer or to top it with a foundation. The Colorscience FLEX really covers all of your imperfections and gives it a baby-smooth effect. Here is where my small problem lies- on my skin, I felt like it never dried down. I looked like a shiny disco ball. I tried adding some setting powder but the shininess was still there. Keep in mind, I do wear my regular moisturizer and a separate SPF cream underneath the FLEX. This is just my normal routine. Perhaps if I used a primer underneath it would have helped some but I did not want to keep adding more and more products. I will save this FLEX for beach days or outdoor excursions. Overall, I do like the product. It has some beneficial skin ingredients and its SPF 50. Oh, remember to use an oil cleanser of some sort since this product is water-resistant and can be more tedious to remove.

Liked this well enough to re-purchase
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 in fair is a good match for my complexion, without looking yellow or orangey. It gives a decent finish, and holds up well to the extreme heat we've been experiencing (I necessarily spend a lot of time outside). I took a star off because I'm not crazy about have to rub the product in, and it's a good but not exceptional finish. I bought another bottle, which is saying something for me.

I really like the tint
I love how this product applies and blends into skin, as well as the shade options. The medium is great for my medium tan skin. I am nervous this will start to break my skin out though because there are some pore clogging ingredients.

Great product!
By far my favorite color-correcting SPF. LOVE the texture- goes on very silky but dries down (I like a matte finish- not dewy). Not at all greasy. It comes out of the tube white but somehow magically does color-correct. No white cast for a mineral sunscreen. Only deducting a star because it’s not the best if you are out in the direct sunlight and playing sports/etc. In the future would use a sunscreen with hire zinc oxide content for days I’m playing sports.

Still prefer the classic
I have combination skin that tends to be oily, so I thought that this would be perfect for me - however, I feel like this one emphasizes dry patches more than the original. I still like it, but feel that the original Sunforgettable product works best for my skin.

Good, not great
I decided to try this since I love the classic Colorscience Sunforgettable SPF 50, but find the tint a tad too dark for me. The color of the flex in light is spot on about a minute after I apply it, but it looks kind of heavy and flat. Definitely not throw-on and go since I have to add some blush and eye makeup to not look "flat." On the upside, it could replace foundation on good skin days, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the description does say medium coverage. It also lasts all day and touch ups with the Colorscience powder works well. I have tried mixing it with the classic to sheer it a bit, and I don't recommend doing that. This product did not irritate my skin so I will definitely use it up, but not sure it I will repurchase.

Colorescience Flex SPF 50
I did like this formula and it matched my skin tone and I had no issues with the wear, however, I was just looking for more of a dewy/glowy look, similar to how the original formula is along with a tint. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars. If you are looking for a more tinted natural non-dewy finish it is a very good choice. I have used other colorescience products and I love them all!

I like it
I like this although it can be quite thick and mask like. I have to use a beauty blender to dopple it on my skin because if I rub it too much it gets too dark and yellow. It is nice as a makeup dupe!

Great product -- feels like a makeup
I like but do not love this sunscreen. I'm somewhere between the light and medium and have to mix the two to get the right shade. It provides what I consider to be full coverage. It looks nice on my skin and provides great sun protection, but sometimes comes off on my clothes which I find a little frustrating. I prefer the Colorescience classic because it has slightly less coverage.

My second favorite sunscreen!
Honestly I do love Colorescience sunscreens! I am aware they’re rather expensive but they feel really good & I do need a high SPF considering I live in very hot climates! The tint was a bit dark for me so I usually mix it with their untinted sunscreen! Only issue is: it leaves a bit of a stain if U’re wearing clothes with a round, high neck! I suggest covering your face with a tissue after application & gently patting to remove excess product!

A great sunscreen with minimal tint. Doesn’t cause break outs on my sensitive skin either
