Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Best tinted SPF so far
First let me preface by saying my skin is light olive with rosacea. Most tinted SPF's are too peachy/orangey for me. I got this in Medium and it goes on about 1-2 shades darker than my skin but doesn't look orange. I wait about 20 minutes before I put on my powder foundation. At that time, because of my red cheeks, and it being a little dark on me, I apply my powder foundation only on my cheeks and nose, and use a little setting powder everywhere else. I would say the coverage of this sunscreen is anywhere between light and medium with a second coat. I am on my second bottle and will continue to use.

I love the texture.
I love the texture of this sunscreen - less shiny than the normal FACE SHIELD. However, the shade I bought is too light for me - I totally didn't expect that - and I am sure the next shade would be too dark. Really hard to determine your shade online and this is not a cheap product.

Good product
Very nice formulation for normal to dry skin. Gives a slight glow. The lightest shade is quite light. Best for very fair skin. I wish I had ordered the second to lightest. Gives a slight blur to imperfections. I would describe my skin as light with pink undertones.

Love the protection this offers
I love that this is a physical sunscreen, and the tint it provides is lovely. It does transfer on clothes like makeup, so that is one thing to be mindful of if purchasing. But it is a great product, and would definitely purchase again!

Foundation with high spf
One of my favorite sunscreen purchases recently! It does what it claims to do and gives, beside sun protection, a nice full face coverage which doesn't look to heavy. You don't have to wear any foundation with this. It does have skin tone adapting abilities which I still find mind-blowing, but it's slightly to dark for my skin tone (been using 'tan') but nothing a good concealer couldn't fix and fortunately, there is also no white cast. It does leave a glowy finish, so maybe be careful if you have oily skin or are looking for a more matte velvety finish.

Like it but a little pricy
It's a good sunscreen with high protection from the sun and also blue light. It also has nice coverage though it could make you look a little pale. It's expensive for the amount.

Winner
This sunscreen is a win for my sensitive rosacea skin. This shade was just a little too dark but I just mix it with a tiny bit of another sunscreen I have that’s a lighter shade and it works great!

Face Shield Flex
I love the feel of this sunscreen. It is not matte but it's not as oily as the original Sunforgettable and gives a sheer to light coverage. The reason I gave 4 stars instead stead of 5 is that the color is too light for my skin and doesn't change color much at all. The recommendation is that if you are between shades, go with the lighter shade. This did not work for me. I add a little liquid bronzer to make it work for me. Next time I will order the darker shade.

Good sunscreen
I do quite like this sunscreen. The formula and the way it melts into your skin is lovely, and you know that it isn't going to slid around and compromise protection. My one complaint is that it doesn't really smooth pores, and it sort of makes any uneven texture even worse. I am dry right now from using tretinoin (retinol), and it make my skin look worse. If you have smooth skin you likely won't have any issues. I will likely just continue purchasing the regular total protection face shield and adding color correction on top on days I want coverage.

Blends well with my skin
The Flex part of this is great. Blends well with my skin. I have dry skin and find it to be a little drying which is why I gave it 4 instead of five stars.

Works well with my oily, acne-prone skin
I have been using this for about a month now and like it a lot. I have oily/acne-prone skin and am very sensitive to new products. This doesn't break me out! I love that it's medium to full-coverage. On days when I only have 5min to get ready, this has replaced my foundation and gives me that glowy, no makeup, makeup look. I ordered the medium and it matches perfectly to my tan, yellow undertone skin. Why I knocked off a star... -This isn't transfer-resistant. I usually set it with my powder and it stays put when I don't have a mask on. With a mask, it'll rub right off and you'll need to reapply. -It has a heavy feeling. I can feel it sit on top of my skin which may bother most people especially if you live in a hot, humid climate. -It will cling onto dry patches.

Adjusting
New to Sunforgettable Face Shield, so started with Bronze and Glow. Thought I would try Flex to see if it were better and worth the extra $6. After trying Flex (Tan), I can honestly say I prefer the others. Flex needs to be rubbed between your fingers before applying and turning into the tinted color I expected. In doing so, it gets all over the sides of my fingers, etc. and is, therefore ,messier and trickier to apply. It is also runnier, and stays “wet” feeling after application. This tint is a little too dark for me. I think my tone is a blend of Bronze and Glow, but I can get away with wearing either and it looks fine/sets up smooth.

Good product, Colorscience has not disappointed yet.
It does change color on the skin... it is slightly yellower than I expected but that is ok. next time around I might mix it with the matte sunscreen.
