Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
great sunscreen, small bottle
This sunscreen is great in the sense that it doesn't break me out, doesn't cause my skin to get oily, doesn't have a strong smell, and protects my pale skin from the Texas sun, (which is really all I ask for from a normal sunscreen). Unfortunately, the tint is not very strong. Don't buy this if you're expecting it to cover up redness or blemishes, because the tint vanishes once you rub it in. Blends seamlessly with the skin but does nothing to cover up. Be aware that the smaller product is VERY small. A little bit above 1 oz, which is around the standard size of a liquid foundation. Was very surprised when I received such a small bottle at this price. Buyer be aware of these things before purchasing!

Possible breakouts
I have used this product for several years and have loved the coverage and feel on my face. I don’t need foundation with it since it’s tinted and provides the right amount of coverage. However, my skin has been breaking out for quite some time, and I question whether this is the culprit. I switched to a different product two weeks ago and my breakouts have virtually disappeared. At this point, I will continue to avoid this sunscreen.

A Bit Soupy, But Works Well
It's liquid, so it takes a little getting used to after the thicker lotion sunblocks. I like this over the soy-base mousse sunblocks because this doesn't dry out my skin the way the others do. It covers minor discolorations, so I don't need any foundation, concealer or other make-up with this.

Excellent supplement
I have tried several dermatologist recommended tinted sunscreens over the past few years. I like using it when I'm headed for the gym, exercising outdoors, doing yard work or running to the market. It is very light and easy to wear but it you're looking for coverage this is not the one for you.

nice
It seems to be good sunscreen, effective, rather liquid, easy to apply. I gave it 4 stars because it has a tint which is slightly on a yellow-ish side, and I have a fair skin tone. I shake it really well before applying, but it's still not a perfect match.

Almost perfect.
This product is overall excellent. It glides on smoothly and does not pill when I apply it over my other skincare products. It is very effective as far as a sunscreen goes and does not leave a white cast on the skin. I do wish that it had slightly more coverage since I do not usually wear makeup on top of it. I find myself having to mix it with a couple of drops of foundation in order to get the coverage that I need.

Good to use as a sun screen. Expected more tint. Product is very thin and watery

Good sunscreen
This is a very good sunscreen that acts like a tinted moisturizer. It goes on beautifully and leaves a nice, dewy finish initially. I took off 1 star because after a few hours, it starts looking very dried up and cakey on my skin, but that could probably be resolved with a proper moisturizer underneath. Plus, I have dry skin, so I suspect this would be ideal for those with more oily/combination skin. Overall, a very good sunscreen, but I have tried others that work better for my skin type. The tint is lovely!

Nice sunscreen
Was trying to find a tinted sunscreen that would not oxidize and turn orange on me. This seems to be pretty stable colorwise on me and is a good neutral tone--not too warm. It is pretty watery, so you have to be careful when dispensing. I have an oily T zone, and if I wear serum, this is just too oily. So, when I wear this sunscreen, it goes directly on clean skin and I use my powder foundation. I don't think this sunscreen has enough tint to be able to go without foundation.

Good sunscreen for face.
Love the lightweight texture of this facial sunscreen they it does leave an oily shine. I do not feel it is effective as Cotz facial sunscreen as I live in the south where the sun is hot. Mixing the product with the Cotz seems the best option for me.

SC physical fusion uv defense Spf 50 for Asian Skin
I have used it for 2 weeks now. It's very smooth and blends nicely. I'm not sure whether the tint looks right for my skin color which is light brown. Overall I like it better than most spf 50 with similar ingredients.

Great to protect new skin!
I like everything about this sunscreen, but one thing! The texture is elegant and light yet highly effective against the sun's rays. Since I've been using it, skin discoloration has greatly decreased. It's not the only product I use, but it does protect my efforts. The one thing I don't like is the tint. My skin is caramel colored and it does not blend with my skin tone at all so I must wear makeup to cover the grayish cast. That's the only reason it doesn't get five stars. In general it's a very good sunscreen.

Wish the tinting to be heavier
As I aged, my red hair veered blonde (now closer to a whiter shade of blonde) while my white skin grew red. Now a 60 year old, I prefer a tint that obscures the redness of my skin - this product used to do that but the redness of my skin has grown increasingly bold and the red now seeps through the tinting. but I loved the product while I was a 50-something year old. I have two issues it did not trigger: (1) a sensitive skin that hives easily (or rashes and itches even when hives don't actually manifest) and, (2) my eyes tend to weep when I apply sunscreens on my face, even sunscreens that identify as "facial" or "for sensitive skin." I am still ordering the product while I search out its replacement (re: obscuring the alarming redness of my face). I have found product that does obscure the red but darn if they don't make me cry - or break out in rashes or hives. So, I guess I just want to let you know I used this product for almost ten years, with great satisfaction but I plan to move on when I find a product that provides relatively the same protection with more coverage (re: skin redness) without making me hive/rash or weep.

Nice product
I alternate between this and ELTA MD SPF 46 tint and non-tined. This is a great product to use on days I feel oily. If you have drier skin, use a serum or a moisturizer under.

Good for all seasons but summer
I've been dedicated to this product for a couple years (rare for me!) I recently moved to the California desert from Seattle and, though I wear SPF 50 on my face every day, I still get a little color. This product has ended up looking a little chalky. I'll save it for Seattle and the other three seasons! Still a great product!

Very greasy
This went on very greasy over my c e ferulic SkinCeuticals serum. It is lightweight though and I like the slight tint that sort of evens out skin tone. I am 52 with dry skin, so not accustomed to products that feel greasy after use as my skin usually absorbs them pretty quickly. I love the 50 SPF and found if I finish it with Bare Minerals powder it's good enough for a rating of 4 stars.

Great physical sunblock with a nice tint
I like this sunblock for days outside when I wouldn't want to put on makeup but it is nice to have a tint. Also, the tint has been good for pale or more tanned skin which is nice. Good coverage and nice texture and has never irritated my skin.
